Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on the Candace Bushnell novel of the same name, Lipstick Jungle is what the ladies on Sex and the City might have been like, had they been married characters rather than New York singletons. Brooke Shields stars as Wendy Healy, a high-powered movie mogul who can't get through a day without talking to (or lunching with) her best friends Nico Reilly (Kim Raver, 24) and Victory Ford (Lindsay Price, Beverly Hills, 90210). Nico is the editor of a high-end lifestyles magazine who is making up for her lack of a sex life at home by having an affair with a young photographer's assistant. Victory, the trio's single gal, is a fashion designer whose creations have fallen out of favour, but is adored by her rich boyfriend Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy). Each is a fixture on the annual "New York's 50 Most Powerful Women" list, but their day-to-day problems of juggling careers with demanding personal lives (i.e., men!) are at the forefront of each episode. As superficial fluff, the show is a fun watch. Will Wendy's former nanny write a tell-all book? How does Nico juggle a husband she loves with a young lover she lusts after? And is Victory really so naive that she won't figure out that her ambitious assistant stole all her best designs? Shields is a charming actress with a decent knack for comedy and Price is good enough as the flaky friend. But with lines like, "When they smell fear in this town, it's over," it's Raver who lends passion and credibility to this series--which is much better than the so-so book on which it is based, but not yet up to the quality that made Sex and the City a must-see show. --Jae-Ha Kim

Synopsis
Based on the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City, this fun and sexy series follows the lives of three ambitious women in Manhattan: Wendy (Brooke Shields, Suddenly Susan), a successful movie executive who struggles with juggling her career and family; Victory (Lindsay Price, Beverly Hills 90210), a fashion designer with big hopes for her professional and love life; and Nico (Kim Raver, Third Watch), a no-nonsense magazine editor. Though their lives in the big city may have their ups and downs, they always manage to keep their good humour and, more importantly, they always have each other. Like Sex and the City, the main attraction here is the show's modern take on romance, glamorous portrayal of urban life, and daring humour. This collection presents every episode of the series' debut season.

Read My Lips
I watched this new series from the USA, purely from my love of Sex and the City, knowing that this is based on the book Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell. I am absolutely in love with this series, the first season is only 7 episodes long and after the axing of its rival network series called Cashmere Mafia, I was worried that this was also to be axed by America. However, I was delighted to discover today that season 2 is 22 episodes long and is following suit straight afterwards on Living TV. For all of you who do not have Sky (or access to Living TV) and you like Sex and the City, then I can't recommend this highly enough. Sexy stories, characters and goings on - not to mention some rather naughty and hot men too!!

Amazing series!!
After Sex and the City finished i thought there wasn't going to be anything as good, untill i started to watch Lipstick Jungle on Living. I love this series as it is fresh, real and fun to watch. Every eppisode is gripping. Althought the series isn't that long it is still worth the wait for, and with series 2 following on exactly where series 1 finished you won't be able to wait for the next series!!! A must buy!!!

Great Series - A Mature Sex & The City
Stumbled on this series on itunes and liked the look of the trailer, I wasn't dissappointed. This is a really great series, good characters and story-line, shame the first series is so short. It is a little more mature than Sex & The City, the characters are a little older and there are fewer amusing characters like Anthony, but that takes nothing from the overall series at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed SATC. Can't wait to see Series 2 on DVD as well.
