Sex and the City Flirts Its Way to Netflix Global Top Now That Everyone's Watching It Again

Summary:

• Cult TV hit Sex and the City became available for streaming on Netflix on April 1
• To climb up Netflix global top, it only needed several days
• While not particularly revolutionary these days, Sex and the City was clearly a breakthrough for the time it was released in

Make way for the TV titan: Sex and the City is officially on Netflix, and it still is a good competition even for the new titles!

The iconic 26-year-old show wrapped up its 6-season run back in 2004, but since then, a whole new generation of TV lovers has grown up knowing about its cultural phenomenon but not quite having the possibility to actually check it out. And now that Sex and the City arrived on Netflix, it enjoys a second life after a pretty long one it already had.

After a few days in its new home, Sex and the City sits at #8 on Netflix's global top, with the hit K-drama Queen of Tears recently knocking it off #7.

And if you think Sex and the City is too old to hook new viewers, you may be very wrong — old fans know it best.

"I'm wondering what it's gonna be like... for some fans of the clean edited version maybe seeing the R rated one for the first time. Because it really is a LOT of outrageous crazy dialogue and sex scenes. if you think Anyone But You is adult you have no idea," said Redditor dvsinla.

Other fans can't help but note how smart it was of Netflix to license Sex and the City; moreover, Max may also benefit from it, since many new fans will be likely to sign up to watch And Just Like That... even though they may also be in for a huge disappointment, but that's a different story.

In their turn, people who have never seen Sex and the City also tune in "just to see what the big deal is." And while the show may not seem groundbreaking today, back in the early 2000s when it aired, it was a true breath of fresh air on TV that suddenly allowed women a voice in their sex lives, friendships, and the rest of the challenging social scene.

With its already impressive results in the Netflix top, Sex and the City could certainly become yet another proof of how rejuvenating a Netflix release can be for an old iconic show — a case already illustrated by Suits and Friends.

If you want to join the party, feel free to stream Sex and the City on Netflix and make up your own mind about the legendary show — or just take a good trip down that memory road.
