Carlos, my complaint was mainly about the protagonist. The supporting characters are great and well worth watching the show, and as a fellow Latino who cares a lot about representation of gay Latinos on media, I can say it's definitely worth checking out. I don't know that I'm gonna stay for the entire season but it has some potential if they can manage to get away from some of the shallowness that ran through some of the episode.
Kad, I disagree with your take on how the date would have been handled in SEX & THE CITY. I think overall people tend to misremember that show; Carrie Bradshaw (at least in seasons 1-4) could be incredibly inept, unlikable, difficult, and self-destructive as much as she could be cute, prissy, entitled and ignorant, and I don't think the show ignored those traits. I didn't see much of a difference between Jonathan Groff's character and all those 90s/early 2000s romantic comedy heroines. Again, it's just a pilot, so we'll see what direction they take the character. Right now, I didn't see Groff's acting matching the naturalistic style of the rest of the cast and the character was a bit bland for my taste.
