Lipstick Jungle

I watched season 1 and the beginning of season 2 in a weekend, and now I am addicted. Could Nico and Kirby together be any hotter??? They have amazing chemistry! I am in awe of the two of them together, it is crazy. I hope the writers of this show keep them together because it is hot! All three women are strong women who I can totally relate to because of my own career. This show is real good and I can't wait to watch it again. I think everyone who loved sex and the city would love this show. My friends have talked about this show since it was on, but I figured since i missed the first season it would be hard to get into it, but I was wrong. It is a great show!

With so few decent prime-time shows on regular networks- we can't let this one go! My husband and I have mostly just been hooked on HBO shows for years and only have 1-2 shows that we regularly watch on the non-cable channels (like the original CSI). Lipstick Jungle, while toned down from Sex and the City, is a great option for those of us missing that show. And it's actually much more realistic- more development on the careers and family issues. If you haven't watched, check out some of the full episodes on the internet- you'll see it's worth saving. And while I'm at it- My Own Worst Enemy is also VERY worth saving- already great and with lots of potential for future story line twists...

..if they would get rid of the character Victory Ford! Her character seems out of touch with reality. I don't think many people can relate to anything she does or experiences, thus show any sympathy for her. A main character should be someone the viewers care about and it's hard to do when you are just annoyed by her.

Wendy Healy seems to have the perfect life as she has everything (family, friends and work) in balance because of her husband who stays home taking care of the kids. But problems arise when her husband wants to achieve something more in his life too other than just raising kids.

IMO the story about Nico Reilly is most sympathetic as she struggles with her passionless marriage and male dominance at work. Frankly, her story is the one that keeps me watching this show.

This show is so good. You can actually tell the characters apart. They have relationships and problems you care about. You can even identify with them. The dialog is not stupid. Finally, a show that doesn't feature sex crazed neurotic morons. This one is smart and every scene is so pretty. It's big budget all the way around. I love it. Please do not dumb it down or make it like every other lame show. I don't think it needs more sex. I think it's just fine, the way it is. I'm sick of all the idiotic shows on TV that have fast scenes, and trite one-liners that are obvious innuendo setups from the beginning. Are people really that dumb? Do writers/producers not see these shows fail over and over? Why do they keep underestimating the intelligence of the American public? On Lipstick, the guys are hot, and I like that the woman are older but hot too. You don't have to be 20 to look amazing. And I freaking love Victory Ford. I love all the characters but I love her the most. Seriously. Watch the show. I am a throw back fan from Melrose Place. This does not have near the same level of scandal but it has my attention just as well. I was originally worried that it would be too much of a Sex and the City ripoff but it really isn't. So if you're going into it worried that you're going to find Carrie and the girls, or even that you're not, don't worry-- it's worlds away from Sex. I also love Brooke Sheilds. Nico's character is growing on me, but I love her plot line. I love getting home on Thursdays, grabbing a glass of wine and settling in for the Lipstick Jungle. It really is the best way to close down the week because we all know Friday doesn't count! I do hope there's more scandal to come, but clever scandal, not just who's- sleeping- with- who scandal. Not that sex is bad, but it really should be more of a magnifier than the backbone. So far, Lipstick has proved just this, and I hope that its momentum keeps going.

In case you didn't catch this one on initially - it is worth a watch. It's not the same as SATC. It's not a comedy - it's a light drama. Anyone expecting SATC would have been disappointed. It's not a comedy drama mix like Desperate Housewives either.

The stories for each of the main career women characters are quite good. Lindsay Price the fashion designer with the Billionaire (Andrew McCarthy)is fun. Kim Raver with the toy boy is exciting (will it work out?). Brooke Shields the producer was the weakest. Don't understand the casting of her scruffy looking Cockney husband and her oddly ethnic looking daughter. Maybe that's why it didn't last.

This is better than the Cashmere Mafia which was really nonsense.
