Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Based on the Candace Bushnell novel of the same name, emLipstick Jungle/em is what the ladies on emSex and the City/em 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, em24/em) and Victory Ford (Lindsay Price, emBeverly Hills, 90210/em). 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 emSex and the City/em a must-see show. --emJae-Ha Kim/em

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!! Great Series - A Mature Sex The City November 26, 2008 C. Hinkin (Hampshire, UK) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful 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. Amazing series!! December 5, 2008 Ms. K. J. O'connor (Wales) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful 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!!! Kirby is hot!! December 18, 2008 YummyMummy (Uk) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful This series is brilliant.I have been watching it on Living tv and it has two hot men in it.Robert buckley(Kirby) Andrew Mccarthy(Joe)The storylines are good.Not as funny as Sex and The City but the hot men make up for it.I'll be down the shops boxing day to buy it,sad i know. Better than Sex The City ! January 13, 2009 Lolly (London) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I'm a big fan of Sex The City and have also read the Candace Bushnell books. I couldn't watch Lipstick Jungle when it was on TV as I don't get the Living channel, but I read the reviews on here and thought I would buy it and take a risk....it's great! Disappointingly a short series of only 7 episodes, but its addictive, even my husband got into it! I can't wait for the next series! Showing reviews 1-5 of 18 1 2 3 4 Next »
