From the very start of their disastrous love affair, it was obvious that Miranda Hobbes and Che Diaz were never going to work out. It’s not just because And Just Like That seems determined to humiliate Sex and the City’s most formidable redhead—or the fact that the first time they met, Miranda was yelling at Che for offering her 17-year-old son a toke.
The whole relationship package came loaded with red flags—from Che’s self-centered moodiness, to Miranda’s inability to grasp that while Che might be the first nonbinary person she’s ever met, they are not some kind of one-of-a-kind unicorn. With each passing episode of this season before their inevitable break-up, “Chiranda” proved more and more cinematically dysfunctional.
All of that said: Did Miranda really deserve to get brutally roasted like she did this week during Che’s first stand-up gig in months? As they say, all is fair in love and comedy.
