“Harlem” is a new Amazon Prime series that follows a tight-knit group of friends who met while attending New York University.

The series stars Meagan Good as Camille, Grace Byers as Quinn, Shoniqua Shandai as Angie, and Jerrie Johnson as Tye. Additionally, Whoopi Goldberg and Jasmine Guy appear in recurring roles, and there’s even some nostalgia for Cousin Skeeter fans.

It could be argued that “Sex and the City” has inspired many of today’s popular TV shows. But whether you believe it’s the blueprint or not, it’s still worth checking out.

And her girlfriends Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) are along for the ride.
The series has had multiple movies and has just been rebooted. So after you’ve binged “Sex and the City,” pick up with “And Just Like That…” which follows three of the four ladies continuing to live their lives out in New York City.
