Product Description:
Set in glamorous New York City, four women stay close as they strive for success in the business world. Affectionately known as the Cashmere Mafia, they rely on each other for support in both their careers and their often-tumultuous personal relationships. Publisher Mia (Lucky Liu), CEO Juliet (Miranda Otto), top business executive Zoe (Frances O'Connor) and key marketing executive Caitlin (Bonnie Somerville) are bright, driven and dedicated, supporting each other through rocky marriages, rival colleagues, kids' recitals and the hunt for the perfect loft. Their ambition comes with a price - although they consistently outpace their male colleagues and husbands in salary and title, they must watch out for scheming rivals, eager to bring them down. But how better to climb to the top of the corporate ladder than with your buddies at your side?
Amazon.com:
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

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.
Rating: - Lucy Liu rules
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.
Rating:  - Vapid, but Clothes Shoes Purses!!!! visual is great!
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!

NBC's Lipstick Jungle they KEEP but Men In Trees and Cashmere Mafia they cancel?...
Lipstick Jungle was so bad that I couldn't even get through one episode that kept my attention, therefore I stopped watching after trying a few more then kept changing the channel. Cashmere Mafia premiered first, so I thought with Jungle they had TWO whoppers for women that year [since Sex & the City's Beshnell wrote Jungle, but it's her bomb, and no knock out clothes and decor at all, which also made Cashmere Mafia beautiful to watch, real eye candy along with the stories].....
Cashmere Mafia was another Dynasty but without the boring 'men' as the focus....
It's not JUST the network that's stupid, which everyone's saying.... the 'numbers' weren't there, and that is more indicative of the mentality of America. But the Network should have hung in there. Most of our classic TV shows took years to catch on, but they stuck with them till they did, and the list is endless from the past....
I hadn't even heard that Men In Trees was cancelled because they've always done so much juggling with it, and delays of episodes to premiere new one's, so I came here to finally get the scoop, and now I see. I'm devastated, just as with Cashmere Mafia.....
I'm a born and bred Manhattan-ite and "Cashmere" reflected my lifestyle and that of strong, sophisticated business women..... so that hit me even harder. Lipstick Jungle is a poor imitation with very BAD writing ... Read More
Rating: - Loved it!!
I really did enjoy the show!!!...I think it should be a book series, i would read it.
