Just watched this. I agree with Yankee that it is a sanitized less smart version of SEX & THE CITY. Still pretty enjoyable though-- if utterly predictable.
I knew Lucy Liu would get the account, I knew Tom Everett Scott would break up with her because of it, I knew Miranda Otto's husband was cheating on her when she mentioned he had a business trip, and I knew Frances O'Connor's husband would get the job. I think we all saw these coming.
Otto is playing a more interesting version of the role she did in THE STARTER'S WIFE. I enjoy her work a lot and really liked her in this show.
I'm a huge fan of Lucy Liu since ALLY MCBEAL, nice to see her back on TV after her great guest-starring role in UGLY BETTY.
I also enjoyed Bonnie Sommerville, yes she is playing the role she always plays, but she plays quirky and funny very well.
Frances O'Connor has the boring, predictable, "great businesswoman mom with kids and a busy husband" storyline that Felicity Huffman already played so well in DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. She's kind of the weak link among the four.
I wonder what the NBC alternative, LIPSTICK JUNGLE, will be like.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
