Cattrall chose this instead of the Sex and the City reboot – but it’s dull, derivative and no fun at all. Why recruit a gay icon for a gay show then not use her?
Glamorous is, in mere factual terms, a new 10-part frothy drama from Netflix about a young, makeup-obsessed queer man called Marco (Love, Victor’s Miss Benny), who lands the job of his dreams when beauty mogul Madolyn Addison (Kim Cattrall) plucks him out of mall-makeover obscurity and makes him her second assistant on the grounds that he and he alone knows what the modern customer wants.
In non-factual terms, Glamorous is the thing Kim Cattrall chose to do instead of the first season of And Just Like That, the reboot of Sex and the City – the show that made her name but on which it seems her life was made a misery. She is said to be making an appearance at the end of season two, probably as the recipient of a phone call from Carrie or maybe in holographic form or some other manifestation that did not require her to be on set with any of her co-stars again. The rumours and gossip have been tremendous fun – and the fact that Glamorous is dropping on the same day as the new series of And Just Like That is a nice twist of the knife by Netflix.
