'Sex and the City' just hit Netflix for the first time. Will it make Gen Z cringe?

“Sex and the City” was a groundbreaking, sometimes controversial, and hugely popular HBO show that debuted in 1998 and aired its last episode six seasons later. 

Now, a few movies and a spin-off series later, the original “Sex and the City” is having its Netflix debut — and its debuting for an entirely new generation.

Many other shows, like “Friends” and “Suits” — have found a whole new audience in Gen Z with their Netflix runs. But will Carrie Bradshaw and her cohort of single friends get the same warm welcome? 

The Show talked to Amanda Kehrberg, a Ph.D. student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication who studies digital culture, about her own relationship to the show.
