Same Drama, Same City, Same Characters
17 October 2009
It's a bit frustrating really because I've seen Cashmere Mafia before in somewhere.I've seen it in Lipstick Jungle and Sex & The City. What is the point of trying to duplicate a series only having changed the cast? It's the same drama all the time, wife gets cheated on, husband and wife have marital problems like husband gets offered job to be away all the time, lady turns gay hooray!, breaking up, getting back together, the ups and downs of love lives. Four friends supporting each other. It's such a cliché.

It's also the same city! Sex & The City was set in NYC, so was Lipstick Jungle and now Cashmere Mafia. You know, it doesn't always have to be in the same city, take a look at Desperate Housewives, its set in a quiet place with GREAT story-lines, not usual everyday boring ones.

Come on really, its the same characters!! One who has family problems with children, one who is the smart and educated one, one who is alone and looking for the right guy and one who is witty and a dare devil.

Its just the same thing in Cashmere Mafia with a lot of annoying clichés.

On the positive side of Cashmere Mafia, the idea of them being a cashmere mafia was clever, the clothes were outstanding and the story-lines kind of changed a bit every now and then so it wasn't that boring. But from the minute I watched this I already knew why this was canceled SOOOOOO early. Take a good long look at Lipstick Jungle. Didn't last very long did it? What makes the producers think this is gonna last four seasons or more? But I kind of enjoyed CM, it was a little fun and quite entertaining, the acting was pretty good. To choose between Lipstick Jungle and Cashmere Mafia I would HAVE to choose Lipstick Jungle.

Not that impressive but has good potential, but I just HAVE to give this low score.
