The day has finally arrived. And Just Like That… season three is officially here, with the premiere episode hitting HBO Max last night. First things first, hats off to the AJLT team for giving us another season in under a year. (Looking at you, other streamers. Take notes.) Now, let’s get into it. I watched the season opener and I have thoughts.
Overall, the first episode moves at a slow pace—but not necessarily in a bad way. It feels like the writers may be gently setting the stage for everything to come. We pick up right where we left off. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is settling into a stunning new brownstone, living solo with the hope that Aidan will return (sooner than later) and they'll eventually share it together. In the meantime, Carrie and Aidan attempt phone sex—twice. And let’s just say… neither attempt quite hits the mark.
