BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

BM Rao (bmrao1980) Give Sex and the City a B-movie treatment and this is what you get. The story is in place and the characters are in place, but it is just put together in a very over-the-top, run-of-the-mill way that is hardly as classy as Sex and the City ("SatC" from now on). And no, making the characters wear designer clothes does not count as classy! I would understand that the people making this would have wanted to stay away from giving it the same treatment as SatC, but in an effort to do so ended up making it bland, pretentious and preposterous. And to be honest, having some candid sex scenes in it would have made it more honest! For me, what soured it was the fact that i could predict what was going to happen and instead of being immersed in the story, i found myself recognizing every camera trick and cut that was used in the filming! There are so many points here that could have been explored in better and/or subtle ways...Joe the billionaire deserved to be toned down for the sake of realism, for one! When, after watching an episode, you find yourself discussing what could have been instead of discussing what just happened, you know what the fate of the show is going to be, and that's what happened!P.S.: This review is based on Season one only. Never bothered myself with season-2.

godwinbonnie I caught about 15 minutes of Cashmere Mafia (gets my vote for Worst Overall) and was sorely disappointed. I was very excited about LJ. Now, I am happy that the show seemed to flow from the beginning. I am hooked. I just want to be entertained. There is not much on t.v. these days that can pull me away from work. I don't think you can compare to Sex in the City, but this is definitely a chick show. And, I really, really want Andrew back for more. I like him anyway, but having him play a freakin' billionaire makes me over the top crazy. I just want to slap Victory when she starts that "I don't need you to rescue me" stuff. Move over V, he can rescue me anytime.

Togmonity 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.

bernitas More sex scenes with Andrew! I think he's horribly sexy. Followed his career since his first movie "Class" - lots of sex scenes in that movie!!!!! I like Andrew's scenes with Victory. Can't go with Kirby, though - think he's a real turnoff especially after he's filed sexual harassment charges. After all, he stalked her.Nice to see Brook Shields playing a grown up. I liked her decision with the young actress. Too bad Brook's own mother over encouraged her to to stuff beyond her age - it was embarrassing. Nice twist in episode 3.Loved the "b----" written on the coat. It was deliciously funny and not normally seen in prime time.
