The name does sound a little tempting and wild-- in Asians' eyes, not a show a "good girl" should watch. I remember when I mentioned the show to one of my Chinese classmates in UU, who was around 35, her face flushed and changed the topic immediately.
The "bourgeois tone" depicted in Sex and the city is quite alluring for an idealist dreamer like me, but the more I watch the show, the more immune I am. The first time I watched it, I was amazed by how fabulous a single woman's life could be; the second time I watched it, I deeply sympathized with and was a little scared by how desperate and at loss a woman could turn into without finding her happy ending with the "Mr. right"; this time, hehe:)...I have been checking out how they are dressed to look professional during day time and sexy at night.
No matter how biased Hao is toward this show, my values and world views didn't turn out to be messed up by the "sex" part of it. The only message passed to my heart is that I want to be one of the modern "white collar" office lady, represented by the four characters, who are self-confident, rich and attractive.
