I'm sorry, but I can't see buying this DVD for 7 episodes.
Maybe when it drops down to $14 or so it will make sense, but its not
like they have a bunch on unbroadcast episodes that I feel I must see.

Quite the feisty little show. I loved the charisma each woman brought to the small screen. Definitely followed the runway flair of Sex and the City but had a more corporate focus and less of a sexual hunger. Glad it's coming back mid-season to finish off the first season at least. Hope there's more to come!

I can't believe they took this show off the air! It was close to being as good as Sex and the City.

As a diehard Sex and the City fan I avoided this series like the plaque fearing that I would be mortally appalled by another hackneyed rip-off. But I have to say I was amazingly surprised at how much originality and ingenuity this show has. The similarities are obviously there; four fashionably high profile women counting on each other to maneuver through a male dominated Manhattan, but where SATC focused on the women's love lives with their careers rounding out their identities, Cashmere Mafia is almost the opposite where it focuses more on the women's careers with their personal/love lives rounding out their identities.

Akin to other workplace comedies like "The Drew Carey Show" or "It's A Living", the majority of the story lines revolve around the protagonists' workplace and we're so intrigued by how they handle themselves at work, we are curious to see how they react after they punch the clock and go home.

It only lasted for seven episodes and I never caught a glimpse of it until after it was cancelled but now that I have I would strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys workplace comdies or shows with strong female leads. Outside of just about every scene with Caitlin (Bonnie Somerville playing an unbelievably ditzy marketing executive who gets caught up in boring plot lines that go nowhere up to and including questioning her sexuality in the DEBUT EPISODE... here's a hint, if we don't know you yet and the only people you find attractive and are kissing are of the same sex... you're gay, which isn't a problem, just don't be BORING and gay) the show actually does have some legs of it's own, and I very much regret that I won't get a chance to see where these women would have gone.

I loved this show, and was really sad it wasn't renewed. The updated characters were much more realistic than SATC but still rocked the couture. Two of the women are executive moms, and from Zoe locked in the closet trying to have a conference call while her kids run wild, to Miranda's spot-on commentary about the tension between her type and the stay-at-homes, I thought the series was an excellent update from the "40-something but still buying shoes and renting a studio and sleeping around and not sure if I want to get married blah blah blah" of SATC. Cashmere Mafia showed you can be educated, act your age, have a career, have kids and still look fabulous. Juliet's character is the best by far - she brings depth and feeling to a role that could have gone brittle and frigid. Although my favorite line goes to Lucy Liu while ripping an Alexander McQueen scarf off her ex-fiance's girlfriend, "Enjoy the bounce!" I LOVE that these are intelligent women who think on their feet and excel (for the most part) at their high-powered jobs rather than staggering around trying to find the front door like Carrie at Vogue. Maybe that's what killed it - people didn't want to believe it was all possible...

i loved it
i think its better than sex and the city
sex and the city is all about finding true love
this is more about friendship, career and family.

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.

This show was much better. At least everybody wasn't sleeping with everybody and they didn't look like cheap hookers. The show was great, they should bring it back.

I found this show on Netflix and instantly I was hooked. After watching the entire season, I started looking online for more seasons and I was sadden when I found out that they only created one season. I love shows like this!

A fun drama that goes through typical life happiness and sadness. For those of you like me who think Sex and the City is a little much and you want something to have on when your preteens are in the next room-- this is your show. It is a fun show that goes through typical lives of every day women, balancing marriage and work, love and work, divorce and life and friendship. It is a great drama for not a lot of money!
It is almost identical to Lipstick Jungle so if you love that show you will love this!
