motherknowsbeast I immediately felt guilty when I started watching this show -- four women, New York City. I couldn't bare the fact that I was cheating on the Sex and the City girls, but I decided to give it a shot. Pleasantly surprised, I found that Cashmere Mafia was even BETTER than SATC. Now before you women hunt me down with pitchfork and flame, hear me out. There are major differences between the two series that people tend to write off when they see the "four women in New York city series". First and foremost, this show is much more modern than SATC. The plot lines are raw because the writers for this show aren't milked dry after writing a million seasons, unlike those of SATC. AND, perhaps what I liked the most, is that these women are actually FASHIONABLE unlike the ridiculous outfits donned on SATC. I could relax while watching instead of sitting on the edge of my seat, screaming WHAT IS CARRIE WEARING NOW? But more importantly, the women of Cashmere Mafia are very different, and a lot more realistic. The show follows them in their professional fields -- you see them at the office, out to lunch with coworkers, etc. This provides better plot lines, context and more dimensions for the characters. However, what I liked about the show the most was that this show wasn't about "FOUR SINGLE WOMEN IN ROUGH AND TUMBLE NEW YORK" like SATC is. These women have real, believable relationships, some married, some not. It isn't a show based on the perpetual hunt for the right man. Overall, I thought it was a thought provoking, fast-paced, great show.

bleuetoile I was surprised at first to see this NYC Cashmere Mafia... Great team, interesting story.. But - ain't it too soon to make this kind of film cloning of Sex and the city?Same plot - 4 successful good looking women, Same age group - 35-45 Same place - Manhattan Same intrigue - sex, men, job struggle, to be single or married Same target audienceBut finally - why not? I really miss the Sex and the city and really like this new project, although there certainly miss the secret charm of the original, The Cashmere mafia is well done and interesting. I really like the four actresses, the styling, Manhattan and the special serious spice I feel in this film.

cligutan I believe this show has a lot of potential. I think it had a slow start but it's getting better every episode. I certainly like it better than Lipstick Jungle. It really shows that women can have power too and how sometimes men can be intimidated by that. Yes it is like a Sex in the City except it's does not always have to be about sex. Sex is great but there's more to life than just sex and this show displays that. This show really brings out actresses that have appeared in previous works but this can be their chance to really shine through. I think they should have more shows where women can be powerful. Why does it have to be a man's world? Why can't it be men & women?

cbauman This show reminds me of Sex in the City- without the warmth and genuine friendships. The pilot didn't quite demonstrate natural chemistry between the characters, although that could come in time. And airing the show after Desperate Housewives was smart; while I am sure that some DH fans will not like Cashmere Mafia, I would imagine that fans of Cashmere Mafia will be viewers of DH.Thus far (i.e. after the airing of only the pilot), I think the show has the potential to capture the chick-flick audience- provided the plots of future episodes are original rather than predictable rewrites of other women-taking-charge shows.
