A character just got bumped off for the second time in And Just Like That – but it’s far from the first show to mess up in this way. Just look at Friends!Now in its third season, it’s safe to say that HBO’s Sex and the City revival And Just Like That has struggled to capture the zeitgeist in the same way as its mother series.

Bomer is tall and striking, in her mid-50s. I met her last year at a reading in Williamsburg, Virginia, where she seemed like someone who cared almost manically about literature and also like someone who would be fun to hang out with, two qualities not always confluent.
