It was a short but sweet fifth season for Sex and the City, as HBO's resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control--the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda). A truncated shooting schedule to accommodate the actresses forced this season to be reduced to a mere eight episodes, and indeed, you can tell both actresses are expecting. (Carrie's wardrobe became more outlandish and more concealing than usual.) Still, the actresses and creators forged ahead, creating a handful of episodes that if short in content were long on emotion and laughs. Whereas the fourth season found all four grappling with various relationships, the fifth season focused on the perils of being single, with a new intensity lacking in the previous sexcapades. Carrie and Miranda wrestled with their solitary lifestyles, albeit with new attachments--Miranda had new baby Brady and single motherhood, while Carrie found herself in the world of publishing as the author of a real-life book of her columns. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wondered if she'd ever find another man, while Samantha (Kim Cattrall) finally got rid of the one that had been vexing her far too much, hotelier Richard (James Remar). If the season as a whole felt less than the sum of its parts, those parts were some of the best comedy in the show's history, from Samantha's anointment as the "Michiko Kakutani of vibrators" to Carrie's stressful, one-degree-from-fiasco book launch party. (And fear not, Chris Noth's Mr. Big does pop up now and again.) The season's climactic episode, "I Love a Charade," found all four at the straight wedding of a seemingly gay pal (Nathan Lane) and contemplating their future with a wry, bemused tone. It was one of the series' best episodes ever, equally touching and funny, and grounded the show in an emotional maturity that announced that after all their wild travails, these women had truly grown up. --Mark Englehart
Customer Reviews
Sex and the City Season 5
Rating: 5
Sex and the City is always a good show, and all of the seasons on DVD are worth the money. In this season Carrie starts a serious relationship with a past fling, Charlotte has a surprisingly happy end to her marriage with Trey. Miranda deals with motherhood and her feelings for Steve, and Samantha is Samantha as usual. This DVD is well worth the money.
Carrie lives it up!
Rating: 5
Sex and the City - The Complete Fifth Season is short but sweet. Only 8 episodes because Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon were both pregnant at the time so the season was cut short. A lot of reviewers have been complaining about season five, they say it's too boring or sappy but I have to disagree, I love this season so much! Carrie finally got to concerate on herself rather than a man, even though she does meet Jack Berger halfway through but the writing and stories were sharper than ever. My three favorite episodes are Unoriginal Sin, Luck Be An Old Lady, and The Big Journey. Don't sweat, buy this season today!
fans---skip this one!!!!

If this had been the first season I would have never watched any more! I love "sex and the city" but wish I hadn't wasted my money on this 5th season! boring- boring - boring!!!!! Carrie is so cute & then some idiot cut that beautiful hair!!!!!Now all I see is her long neck & her nose!!!!!!I am buying both 1&2 of the 6th hoping they got enough bad reviews that they bring Big & Carrie back together and let her hair grow back!!!!In my opinion their love affair is what made this show.
