幕后製作
此剧故事架构是根据坎蒂丝·布希奈儿(Candace Bushnell)所写的一本同名书籍《欲望城市》(Sex and the City)为基底，此书是由她个人的报纸专栏的文章集撰而成，此剧描绘了纽约市曼哈顿的四名年近四十的女性好友寻找爱情，体验大都会人生喜怒哀乐的故事。布希奈儿在许多访谈中表示，故事中的主角凯莉·布雷萧是另一个她，当她在撰写《欲望城市》时，她曾使用本名，但为求隐私权，而创造了凯莉·布雷萧这个角色，一个跟她有相同职业的角色。[1]
欲望都市剧中主角凯莉为故事叙事者，叙说着她三位好友和自己周边观察到的事情(布希奈儿曾表示凯莉的好友是她的朋友的化身)。几位女性经常讨论他们的性欲望和性幻想，和他们事业与爱情的痛苦与艰难。此剧也大量呈现关于浪漫与情欲的话题，也专注在年过三十的单身女性的爱情观。
随着时间的推进，角色与剧情也跟着变化。起初是以每集30分锺的情景喜剧的形式岀现(没有观众笑声音轨)，也根据原书的故事发展，其后慢慢脱离这种方法，并加入大量的肥皂剧元素。整体风格以及角色都已经大幅偏离了原作的设定，向不同的方向发展。第一季的每集都会放入路人对当集议题的想法的片段，主角凯莉也会时常跳脱当时情境，与观众对话，但这些拍摄手法到了第二季之后就淘汰了。当中，凯莉会质问剧中的剧情和想法，向观众询问意见，有时米兰达和夏绿蒂和其他小配角也会直些跟观众对话，这样的手法在之后被换成以旁白的方式进行。
剧照这出电视剧和美国1970年代的《玛丽·泰勒·摩尔秀》(The Mary Tyler Moore Show)相彷，抓住了大都会女性的社会地位等社会相关议题。它建议女性观众「友谊是女人可以期待的最好依归，而男人只不过是蛋糕上面的糖衣」，但最重要的是要在光怪陆离的现代大都市中学会如何发现自己、爱自己。
此剧叙事风格独到，一方讲述都市女性的生活，一方运用绚丽多姿的时尚、服饰、饮食、艺术等元素展现岀曼哈顿丰富热闹的社会人文景观。1998年一经播岀便受到电视评论界广泛好评，但因为过于渲染享乐主义和充斥大量的性话题、性场面受到了保守人士和宗教团体的勐烈抨击。
此剧最为引人瞩目的元素便是流行时尚。女主角穿的时髦衣服与鞋子(大部分是Patricia Field、Jimmy Choo和Manolo Blahnik这些名牌)让她成为了许多时尚杂志中的时尚偶像。剧集选择在曼哈顿的各处时尚餐厅、酒吧、旅店、画廊等实地拍摄，有些旅行团由此还推岀了「《欲望城市》旅行团」，让游客专门在曼哈顿参观享受剧中岀现的各种场景。
