This work examines prominent social movements of the 21st century and how their influence is reflected in the growing phenomenon of political correctness observed in today's society. The focus is particularly on the emergence of this phenomenon in the media or entertainment content, which reflects and shapes the culture of its origin. The study explores the influence of movements such as #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ+ rights on entertainment, using the series "And Just Like That" as a case study. The series is juxtaposed with its (by today's standards) more problematic predecessor, "Sex and the City". This comparison also highlights the rising trend of reviving 20th-century series, which are now presented in more polished or less "problematic" forms. The research focuses on how the creators have attempted to address or rectify the more problematic aspects of the original series, highlighting examples from the newer series that directly relate to or connect with the aforementioned social movements. It also seeks to explain the reasons behind these changes.
