Product Description
From Amazon.com
The third season was the charm for one of HBO's gold standard series, which earned its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to go along with its Golden Globes for Best Comedy Series and Best Actress (Sarah Jessica Parker). The writing is as sharp as ever, with more trendy product placement than a Bret Easton Ellis novel and ribald banter that's a cross between the Algonquin Round Table and the Friars Club. One of this season's two principal story arcs concerned hapless-in-love Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and her pursuit of a husband; enter (if only...) Kyle McLachlan as the unfortunately impotent Trey. Meanwhile, sex columnist Carrie has a brief but memorable fling with a politician who’s golden, but not in the way she anticipated. She then sabotages her too-good-to-be-true relationship with furniture designer Aidan (John Corbett) by having an affair with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who himself has gotten married.
"Do we need drama to make a relationship work?" Carrie muses at one point. Sex and the City needs drama to make it work, and Parker and Cynthia Nixon (as career woman Miranda), this ensemble's better half, give the show its pulsating heart as they wrestle with commitment and, in the episode "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sadder-but-wiser breakups. On the lighter side, the sexual dalliances of "rude and politically incorrect" Samantha (Kim Cattrall) provide great fodder for comedy. Like I Love Lucy, the series benefited from a brief change of scenery with a three-episode jaunt to Los Angeles, where Carrie and company encountered, among others, Matthew McConaughey, Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. At its best, to quote one character, Sex and the City is "sharp, edgy, brutal at times, always a little juicy." It may be "very New York," but the sex and relationship issues it tackles are universal. For its devoted fans, the release of this 18-episode, three-disc set is, to quote Gellar's clueless Hollywood junior development exec, "chick flick big." --Donald Liebenson
Chronique Amazon.fr
Ce texte se rapporte au format DVD
Sans conteste, cette troisième saison est l'un des meilleurs crus de la série. Carrie y rencontre l'homme presque parfait ; Miranda, éternelle insatisfaite, fait de curieuses rencontres ; Samantha déprime ; et Charlotte, qui a décidé de se marier avant la fin de l'année, rencontre enfin son prince charmant. Mais il y a parfois baleine sous rocher avec les princes charmants… Tromperies, largages en tout genre, déchirements, culpabilité, ruptures, mariages ratés et contrats réussis, le viagra étudié à la loupe par la pro du sexe qu'est Samantha, l'utilité des sexologues, bref, tous les sujets passent à la moulinette politiquement incorrecte de Sex and the City. Cette série est, une fois encore, une bouffée de réalisme sur les relations amoureuses des trentenaires exigeantes. Trop, peut-être ? --Aurélie Rochman

No subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!,
By "carmen0303" (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex and the City: Season 3 (DVD)
I just bought Season 3, and found out that the subtitle function is not available for this DVD! I can't beleive this since both Season 1 and Season 2 have subtitles available! I am so disappointed about this, since I'm not a native English Speaker, subtitle is very important for me!!! I can't beleive they issue a DVD with no subtitles, why are they taking this feature away when it was available in the previous DVD (Seaons 1 and 2). This is not going to be as fun as I watch Season 1 and 2 without the subtitles. They have 2 other different languages to choose from (Spanish and French) but NO SUBTITLE?I'm not alone about this no subtitle issue, as I can read that there is another customer who complained about this as well.

The Best Keeps On Getting Better!,
By Hillary (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex and the City: Season 3 (DVD)
Never missing an episode of this HBO masterpiece original program, is on the top of my list. So was getting the Third season to add to my First and Second collections. ................. Being a native of New York City, and having worked, dated, and socialized in the one of a kind, glorious, non-stop party that IS life for those lucky enough to live it here, I can honestly say that "Sex.." captures the mood, spririt, and attitude of all the attractive, successful and confident New York women, and those like them elsewhere. While you watch, you really feel like you know Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. You are at once, sympathetic to their plight, and happy when they're happy. The characters remain as distinct in season three, as they have been through the past two seasons. However. in season three, I think they even go deeper into what really makes each character so fascinating. ................ There are some very "BIG" plots this time around, as Carrie's on again/off again. Mr. Big, (Chris Noth) goes way off and marries the much younger Natasha. I was as angry about this as Carrie! Of course, after he's committed, he wants Carrie more than ever. She simultaneously tries to juggle two men after meeting a very significant other, a sculptor named Aidan. Despite his complete difference from Big, and his solemn aversion to smoking, Carrie gets herself involved. This becomes the perfect fodder for Big's jealousy after a chance meeting with Carrie and Aidan at a furniture show he's attending with his WIFE. ............... Meanwhile, Charlotte meets Trey (Kyle McLachlan) a doctor who seems to be Mr. Right. A whirlwind romance leads to a proposal when Charlotte pops the suggestion and Trey says "Allrightie" much to her chagrin. Her steadfast resolve in saving "it" for the wedding, may lead to her overlooking a very important piece of the marriage puzzle. ............... As Miranda takes up living with the irritating, but simple and sweet Steve, and Samantha is, well, still Samantha, the four friends have more fun than ever. The season culminates in a foray to the west coast, where well known faces like Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner and Sarah Michelle Gellar pop in, are glitzy glamorous fun. Although, why a successful woman like Samantha would buy a fake Fendi handbag is beyond me! ............... For anyone who follows this great show, this third season set is a must-buy, must-keep and a must-see, over and over again.

This review is from: Sex and the City: Season 3 (DVD)
I think that the best part of Sex and The City is that the essence and depth of the characters is not spoon-fed to you, like some many other tv shows; you have to think outside the box to get it. That is refreshing; the writers assume we are intelligent beings and not just looking for mindless entertainment. I wish they would make a movie like this. Also, this third season DVD is the first one to include some audio commentary, which is an added bonus. If SJP becoming executive producer is why the show has taken a more dramatic turn, then I'm all for her! Now that the characters are established, they can do that kind of experimenting, and it works. All four girls have interesting story lines, not just Carrie. (Samantha gets her turn in the fourth season).
