10 Reasons You Need To Be Watching "The Carrie Diaries" Feb 5th 2013, 00:07 It's tempting to hate on The Carrie Diaries , but the new CW series is way better than you'd think. Here's why those low ratings deserve a turnaround. Carrie is a delight. Think back to a time before the Sex and the City movies, back when Carrie Bradshaw wasn't a total pain. I know it's tough. For those of us who saw Carrie's descent from relatable young writer to nightmare person, it's hard to start caring about Ms. Bradshaw again. And yet, the protagonist of The Carrie Diaries is a different Carrie entirely: sweet, naïve, and fashion forward. This Carrie would never complain because her giant-screen TV is taking away attention from her. Image by The CW AnnaSophia Robb is a star to watch. No matter what happens to The Carrie Diaries, I see big things ahead for AnnaSophia Robb. She stepped into an iconic role and instantly made it her own — she is charming enough to carry this series, and that's no small feat for a young actor. Assuming she keeps picking roles that suit her, her career should continue its upward trajectory. And I wouldn't be shocked if she picked up an Emmy nomination for her work on The Carrie Diaries. Image by The CW The fashion is as awesome as you'd expect. Take an '80s aesthetic and blend it with Carrie Bradshaw's unique style and The CW's commitment to hipness and you get a bunch of ensembles you can't really take your eyes off of. I'm not sure I'd wear anything I've seen on The Carrie Diaries — outside of a costume party — but I'm completely entranced. And so far Carrie is dressing significantly better than she did on Sex and the City. (Please, fashion gods, no tutus.) Image by The CW Sebastian is a dreamboat. Yeah, I said it. Look, Carrie's always had good taste in men, but there's something especially appealing about The Carrie Diaries' Sebastian Kydd, played by Austin Butler. (He's 21 in real life, so relax.) I don't know if it's his dark past or the bitchin' jacket or his baby blues — suffice it to stay, I'm smitten. And it's kind of hard not to be after watching an episode in which he shares his headphones with Carrie so they can listen to The Cars together. Swoon. Image by The CW View Entire List ›
