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-... more »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?« less

"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!"
LOVED THIS SERIES!!

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

"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..."
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.
