The Carrie Diaries Premiered on The CW on January 14, 2013



It's 1984, and life isn't easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie's younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie's friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, snarky Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn't doing much to take her mind off her troubles. Even the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian only reminds Carrie that she spent the whole summer grieving rather than moving on with life. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie's eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she's inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa's world. Carrie's friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she's fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.

The series stars AnnaSophia Robb ("Soul Surfer") as Carrie Bradshaw; Stefania Owen ("Running Wilde," "The Lovely Bones") as Dorrit Bradshaw; Ellen Wong ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," "Combat Hospital") as Mouse; Katie Findlay ("The Killing," "SGU Stargate Universe") as Maggie; Chloe Bridges ("90210") as Donna; Austin Butler ("Switched at Birth," "Life Unexpected") as Sebastian; Brendan Dooling ("An Elf’s Story: The Elf on the Shelf") as Walt; Freema Agyeman ("Doctor Who," "Law & Order: UK") as Larissa and Matt Letscher ("Brothers and Sisters," "Entourage") as Tom.

Based on the novels by Candace Bushnell, THE CARRIE DIARIES is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Fake Empire, with executive producers Josh Schwartz ("Hart of Dixie," "Gossip Girl"), Stephanie Savage ("Hart of Dixie," "Gossip Girl"), Len Goldstein ("Hart of Dixie") Amy Harris ("Gossip Girl") and Candace Bushnell.

I was never a fan of sex& city because to me it just felt like a show about women who were obsessed about men and getting a husband. I am not let that influence this series.

The lead actress was very likeable in her role as Carrie and she actually did a good job at portray the new experience of going into the city and all wonders it was like. I also like the fact that Carrie was narrating the episode and offering her views on the situation with her friends and new experience. It's quite easy for adults to forget about what a new discovery and experience are like for a young person most get used to it and wonder disappears. Think about when you go city you don't notice how wonderful it is because you become used to it.

Back to the episode while Carrie was good and they tried casting good looking people but i really didn't like Freeman role who's women she met in the store. If this women is suppose to be carrie's mentor i think it's a bad idea. She was quite annoying and one thing that would put me off in this episode.

I sometimes feel i am too old watch teen show because i way past teen stage .

The way Carrie played the fainting part when her dad walked down the school hallway and her explanation of the last time her father did that was when her mother was dying was interesting, Freema Agyeman playing Larissa was amusing and helping her steal a dress was a little crazy

I completely loved that Doctor Who's companion made a show!  Awesome.  Her fainting was understandable and staying in the city after the fact was brave for 16.

Well i felt this was a slightly better episode but theme of telling lies which was strange to see how she rationalised lying and i have to say the narrating is quite for this series. I am trying my best not to think about Jane by design when i watch this since it has similar storyline.

Like i said before i am really liking Carrie character and she very likeable in the role which make this series watch able and her friend certainly all different issues.

I forgot this is based on the 80's but Larissa's mobile phone/brick was a great reminder but the way Carrie scrambled to make it work when she wants to do a photo shoot with her purse was impressive

Well reading her dad file on her boyfriend was so wrong but he really shouldn't have his work files in the house but i can't believe she told her dad about it. I am speechless about art show how you can call that art is just plain wrong but asking Carrie to show hers was just plain crazy. I really wasn't expecting to see that type of adult content on this show but using Carrie head to cover it was smart camera trick.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-29-2013 12:53     Subject: 1x03 Read Before Use

Sebastian saying he had a good teacher after they kissed was amusing and Tom being given lots of numbers because he lost his wife was an interesting pick up line especially because it was an accident

Carrie really must be the most responsible teenage character on a tv show this was not what i was expecting i thought she would be a bit crazy in her teenage years, this goody two shoe character doesn't make for good tv but it feel like they trying make this into educational tv series about adulthood.

Maggie being excited to have Thanksgiving with Walt's family was short lived and you can understand why Dorrit was trying her hardest to sabotage Carrie attempt at cooking the perfect Thanksgiving dinner

Well having so many choices but i am glad the dad finally got spend time with his youngest daughter and hope things can get better look like we find out she has a difficult time talking to him because she was more closer to her mother than him.

Carrie having so many choices was kind of amusing teenage girl really do over think the simplest of decision
Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-26-2013 12:00     Subject: 1x07 Caught

I can understand why Tom fell asleep at the ballet but Dorrit did seem very hard on him until he explained and George getting the wrong idea about Carrie's intentions in the back of the car was predictable

Dorrit should think herself lucky he only locked her up to teach her a lesson instead of calling the police for shoplifting but going back to get the record was brave and who would of thought it would lead to her first kiss, I find it amusing that the Americans find it hard to drive a manual car
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-28-2013 05:34     Subject: 1x11 Identity Crisis

How embarrassing for Sebastian with his mother turning up at school and discussing the sex she had with his father and Carrie impersonating Larissa to pick up the package was amusing but she should of expected there would be complications, Tom being seen by Maggie kissing in the car like a teenager was priceless

Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-10-2013 00:53     Subject: 1x12 A First Time for Everything

Carrie's response to Sebastian saying I love you was amusing but blurting out I want to sleep with you did seem crazy and from that to breaking up all in one week was terrible, Mouse being in control with West was amusing

Carrie saying I love you to Sebastian did seem like the right time but Maggie making a move on him after the row was disappointing and finding out about her dad dating was bad timing but not wanting to meet "Gym" was amusing

Tom's face when he found out Dorrit had a boyfriend was amusing as he thought he didn't have to worry about her and how Carrie didn't notice her bag being stolen considering it was leaning against her leg, Samantha trying to help Carrie get into her apartment and the cop helping must of had an eye full as she wasn't wearing underwear

Well i really like the fact Dorrit boyfriend decided to introduce himself to her dad while she was away and that joke about her not wearing make up was rather amusing consider what she did the next day. Samantha will certainly keep Carrie on her feet with a friend like that her life is bound to get complicated

Samantha and  Larissa fooling around with each other certainly came as a surprise but what a way to get around showing a 3-some considering this was teen show. I like they push the bounties a bit on this show to see how far they can go.

Bennet slacking off at work while Carrie was trying to cover for him was a little unfair and trust Samantha's latest fling to be married but she was reckless going up to his place to look for the bird , Tom being tricked by the female lawyer was sneaky but hooking up afterwards was amusing
