Cashmere Mafia

This episode pretty much involved getting to know the characters and where they are in their lives. We know that Caitlin is notoriously unsuccessful at keeping a relationship, we find that Juliet on the surface seems to be a Supermom with a model marriage and not to much trouble from the kids. Then we get to know Mia, who is newly engaged and on the cusp of winning a top position within her firm. Finally, we get to know Zoe who, with the exception of some work drama really does seem to manage everything well family wise.

I know that many people are likening this to a high-powered version of SITC and to tell you the truth, it really is. These women are polished, successful, and can be downright vicious. However, I think the writing is superb, the characters well developed and the story-line is interesting. I'm definately looking forward to the season.

Not the most gripping pilot episode of a show that I have ever seen by far, but then again, not the most dire. The writing is good, excellent dialogue between the characters too, and the storylines seem to be going to interesting enough places. It doesn't feel particularly fresh or new though. I mean, four women in NYC....SATC anyone? I know it has the same creator but I was hoping for a slightly different take on things. That said, it is watchable. The characters appeal to the audience, the clothes appeal to the female viewers and it is a good way to fill up 40 minutes of your time. I have to keep telling myself it is only a pilot before I jump to any conclusions - I've watched episode 2 though - if you didn't like this then at least give the second episode a try. :)

I was looking forward to this so-called "dramedy" for a few reasons. I heard it likened to "Sex and the City," and while I never saw that show, I know many people that rave over it. If they really are similar, I have no desire to watch City now. The second reason was an anticipated return to network TV by Lucy Liu. Despite a few quirky comments, which were cliched but amusing, she couldn't keep this show afloat.



When I say the plot was spoonfed, I mean the writers seem to think the American viewer is too dumb to understand subtext. Not that I necessarily disagree with that, but the show's subtext hasn't exactly been complicated. The very first scene where the "potential" lesbian meets her potential lover, was so obvious a dung beetle would have made the following observation to another dung beetle: "Hey, she's lesbian!"



When the three characters decided to do an intervention and tell the fourth about the cheating husband, anyone who didn't already know that SHE had some idea, is just cheating reality.



I will begrudgingly give this show one more shot. I've got episode two on my DVR and I'm afraid to watch it. It was almost painful to watch this one.

I loved the first episode of this show, with great actresses, great storylines, great musics, and it was a very well written episode. I already love these girls! My favourite is Mia, maybe because she is Lucy Liu xD , but all the girls are great and everyone had something to tell to the audience. Darren Star did not blasted me, with another grat tv show. It's not Sex And The City, but a perfect mix of Sex and the city and desperate housewives I guess. Really a great episode and I think also a great tv show, I really hope it will not be cancelled!

Oh, this is SO NOT Sex & The City! That was a new, original, sometimes shocking and always enjoyable fun TV time! This looks like a screenplay by a C student highschool junior. Of COURSE there's a lesbian in the first episode, the writers couldn't possibly develop the character and hint to it, they have to beat you over the head.

And any interesting story line is also served to the audience a la 'thank you Captian Obvious" for example...the fact that they power couple is too busy to properly screen and interview the nanny and therefore are punished by thier decision would have made a really interesting plot, but the writers should let the viewers come to that conclusion, not have the man in bed blurt it out "I guess we're just too busy and the nanny knows it and will use it against us' isn't even well written, it's like a crib note used in the script!

Lucy Lui is usually so fun to watch and yet what did she think would happen when she played hard ball with her fiance? I didn't feel sorry for her at all! I sided with HIM! I will never watch another episode. No one can relate to these women. And I should be the target audience!
