I agree with some of the reviews that the Carrie Diaries show has a good plot that does draw in its viewers. Unfortunately, the second season has made me less interested in viewing the show.I was very interested in the show, because it eluded to the Sex and the City TV show on HBO. Yes, the two shows are not supposed to be based on the same thing; however, this show uses the same characters and references from Sex and the City. Hence, people should expect viewers to want things to stay consistent with the original television broadcast.Nonetheless, Carrie Diaries begins very well and was quite captivating. Unfortunately, as I began watching the second season, Carrie became extremely annoying, primarily because her problems have the same routine in every episode -- she lies about how she feels, the problem builds, she explodes with the truth, and everyone is confused and mad. In special cases, she breaks up with someone... again. After about three episodes of the same thing, I was over it, especially since the script sounds like it is repeating itself. Her character has slowly become unrelatable. In fact, at this point, I have tried to skip through her parts and move onto the other characters, because their problems are more understandable and they have real drama happening.My last negative comment is that the second season had too much stuff crammed into one season. It was as though they wanted to touch on every major epidemic of the 80s in one season. They did not really build on these epidemics, which made it seem crammed and confusing.On a positive note, I absolutely love the actors in the show and the characters. I am not bashing their acting skills because AnnaSophia Robb is a great actress. Furthermore, I love the Larissa character and how everyone really works well together. It was simply the plot of the story. I would love for this show to have another season but with some alterations.P.S. : Also, I honestly thought it was too much having her younger sister have sex before even getting into high school. I understand that sex at that age happens, but it still should not be portrayed as a good thing like it was on the show.

The series need be canceled, I don't understand why they gave it a second chance. The series is rather pointless now it was mediocre when it first came on. Carrie's friends are not interesting enough and I don't like Carrie's little sister, Dorrit. She's obnoxious, and she need to stop hating/jealousy of her because their late mother favorite Carrie. First of all, the storyline are weak, the young actors in the series acting is mediocre, and the series was not Gossip Girl-style enough either. I watch the series because of AnnaSophia Robb was in it. AnnaSophia Robb is talented young actress but she should done another show or stick to movies again.

This is a very weird show, as it is very "little girly" with the cute voice over, etc. Yet, there are some pretty racy type things..which is fine if you are older and watching this. But then, if you are going to cater to both young and older audience, then give us some real nostalgic authenticity. Because as a person who was this age in the 80's, there is nothing even remotely fun about watching the show from that viewpoint either. The props are not that accurate, the clothes are not accurate, the phrases are not accurate.. who used the phrase "drama queen" in the 80's? That came much later. So it isn't even fun to watch for nostalgia. I am a few episodes in, and haven't once thought "oh wow, I remember that!" The music is okay, but they could choose better moments with that too.. it just seems like the production crew isn't really in touch with this era.. at all. And the show doesn't really seem appropriate for young girls, so I really don't see where this is going. Hopefully they figure it out later.

The Carrie Diaries is one of the best TV shows I have EVER watched, it's fun and amazing, it has great plot, one that keeps you interested and it decently deserves a SEASON 2. In my opinion definitely the best CW show, and I was a big fan of Gossip Girl and also liked The Vampire Diaries, but this show is way better. Every time I watch it I just want more and more, I feel emotional after every episode, and I'm completely sure the second season will be lot more popular. I think the only mistake of this show is that, that it is a prequel to SATC and that SATC fans are the ones giving bad reviews because it has a completely different storyline with much more interesting story that everyone should watch and like not just them. It's amazing to see life of teenagers in 1980s and it seems a lot more interesting then ours, the relationship between Carry and Sebastian is so adorable, and I think he should stay the main roll in SEASON 2. Also it would be nicer to have more than just 13 episodes, and the show should start in the beginning of October, right after the Summer when they start school again, when Carry and Sebastian meet and share their feelings! I sincerely hope for Season 2 because it is a great show, that could become even better and it would be disappointing for teens all over the world to cancel it!
