Pitted against Lipstick Jungle during the 2008 TV season, Cashmere Mafia holds its own with a familiar but still welcome focus on four powerhouse New York women whose fierce devotion to their jobs is matched only by their unwavering friendship with each other. Helmed by Darren Star (Sex and the City), Cashmere Mafia focuses on the lives of magazine publisher Mia Mason (Lucy Liu) and her friends Zoe Burden (Frances O'Connor), Juliet Draper (Miranda Otto), and Caitlin Dowd (Bonnie Somerville). Zoe and Juliet--both married with children--juggle their jobs as high-powered executives with frenzied family lives. While Mia searches for love with a colleague, a brain surgeon, and a manny, cosmetics executive Caitlin questions her sexuality and finds a relatively stable relationship with another women. There are some plot points that go nowhere: a sex tape, a pregnancy, a fashion show disaster. But the core group shares wonderful chemistry. While Liu is meant to be the show's star, Otto, with her icy, red-haired good looks and regal voice, has the most compelling scenes. As the cuckolded wife with a n'er-do-well husband, Otto injects depth and emotion to Juliet, who has to work out in her own mind that presenting a happy image is no substitute for actually being happy. Thanks to the 2008 Writers Strike, the series is truncated to just seven episodes. The sad thing is that the show was canceled just as the writers began to develop the characters into interesting women, rather than high-heeled caricatures we've seen before. Often compared to Sex and the City because of the female cast, the New York setting, and the fashionista wardrobe, Cashmere Mafia doesn't touch Sex at its peak. But it hints at enough "what could have beens" to make viewers wistful that the series didn't get a second season. --Jae-Ha Kim

SATC Updated for Working Adults December 30, 2008
I loved this show, and was really sad it wasn't renewed. The updated characters were much more realistic than SATC but still rocked the couture. Two of the women are executive moms, and from Zoe locked in the closet trying to have a conference call while her kids run wild, to Miranda's spot-on commentary about the tension between her type and the stay-at-homes, I thought the series was an excellent update from the "40-something but still buying shoes and renting a studio and sleeping around and not sure if I want to get married blah blah blah" of SATC. Cashmere Mafia showed you can be educated, act your age, have a career, have kids and still look fabulous. Juliet's character is the best by far - she brings depth and feeling to a role that could have gone brittle and frigid. Although my favorite line goes to Lucy Liu while ripping an Alexander McQueen scarf off her ex-fiance's girlfriend, "Enjoy the bounce!" I LOVE that these are intelligent women who think on their feet and excel (for the most part) at their high-powered jobs rather than staggering around trying to find the front door like Carrie at Vogue. Maybe that's what killed it - people didn't want to believe it was all possible...

i think its better than sex and the city
sex and the city is all about finding true love
this is more about friendship, career and family.

Awful. Just awful. The only thing going for this show is the wardrobe but that doesn't justify how expensive the series is. THERE IS A REASON THAT THIS SERIES WAS CANCELLED FOLKS AND A GOOD ONE AT THAT.
Lucy Liu rules November 8, 2008

At first, the reason that I watched the show is because of Lucy Liu. I love her when she was in Ally McBeal, as Ling.
After the first episode of C.M., I was hooked & loved the strong bond among the girlfriends. C.M. focus on a different stage of the women's life & the craziness to balance the career & family in a big city.
 Vapid, but Clothes Shoes Purses!!!! visual is great! October 31, 2008

for women who love fashion, this is a video fashion mag. The writing is terrible, but it's worth it to watch Lucy Liu walk out of her closet 3 times a day looking like a work of art!
