I can't wait for season 3! Is there going to be a third season? I watched both seasons back to back and loved it. This is much better than Sex in the City. This show is worth watching and leaves you wanting more. I love that it does not just focus on their careers, they have a life outside of the job that you can believe. The dialog is better than good...it's great! The fashion is good and I really like all the characters. The story line is better than Sex in the City because the character are much more realistic. There must be a season 3 in production. I hope the network is not suited up and stupid were they cancel the show because that would be a waste.

I love all three of these women, they are stunning actresses, just beyond beautiful. But this series has no story anyone could possibly want to watch. Their lives have no more relation to the real world than fairy tales do. It is not just that frequent contrivances jar the viewer, it is that every aspect of their lives and every situation they face is contrived. This show cannot replicate the success of Sex in the City because part of what made that series work was its originality, and you can't repeat originality.The show makes the mistake of carrying over Sex and the City's obsession with wealth and fame, but taking it up several notches. What the producers missed is that this obsession was never one of S&C's draws; it was not the reason people tuned in. Every time some new boyfriend on S&C was described at the most famous blabla or the leading blabla or the most powerful blabla in the widget industry the show lost its footing, but for the obliviousness of its audience of American women who cannot discern logic from nonsense.In LJ, it is not only the boyfriends of the week who are plutonian overlords, it is the women themselves. I have no objection to a story about the most wealthy, powerful women on earth, but I don't think such a story can work as a series. I don't think you can do an entire series about them, and you can't put them in those roles and still try to make them just nice, hard-working underdogs just trying to get by.

This show is so good. You can actually tell the characters apart. They have relationships and problems you care about. You can even identify with them. The dialog is not stupid. Finally, a show that doesn't feature sex crazed neurotic morons. This one is smart and every scene is so pretty. It's big budget all the way around. I love it. Please do not dumb it down or make it like every other lame show. I don't think it needs more sex. I think it's just fine, the way it is. I'm sick of all the idiotic shows on TV that have fast scenes, and trite one-liners that are obvious innuendo setups from the beginning. Are people really that dumb? Do writers/producers not see these shows fail over and over? Why do they keep underestimating the intelligence of the American public? On Lipstick, the guys are hot, and I like that the woman are older but hot too. You don't have to be 20 to look amazing. And I freaking love Victory Ford. I love all the characters but I love her the most. Seriously. Watch the show. I am a throw back fan from Melrose Place. This does not have near the same level of scandal but it has my attention just as well. I was originally worried that it would be too much of a Sex and the City ripoff but it really isn't. So if you're going into it worried that you're going to find Carrie and the girls, or even that you're not, don't worry-- it's worlds away from Sex. I also love Brooke Sheilds. Nico's character is growing on me, but I love her plot line. I love getting home on Thursdays, grabbing a glass of wine and settling in for the Lipstick Jungle. It really is the best way to close down the week because we all know Friday doesn't count! I do hope there's more scandal to come, but clever scandal, not just who's- sleeping- with- who scandal. Not that sex is bad, but it really should be more of a magnifier than the backbone. So far, Lipstick has proved just this, and I hope that its momentum keeps going.

What interested me the most is Nico's love affair. Nico (Kim Raver) looks great and plays very well. The love affair story is so touching. There is no right or wrong for Nico per her situation. It's good to see her goes through the process of thinking what she shall do to deal with her emotion, her job, her lawsuit, her feeling for her husband and her affair. I'm truly impressed with Kim Raver.Lindsay Price (play Victory Ford in the series) is another interesting actress. I haven't known her before. The more I watch her in Lipstick Jungle the more I like her. She's not very pretty but not ugly. There is something about her to hook me into watching her.Overall, I love Lipstick Jungle and can't wait to see the next episode and read the book. A little bit hestitate to read the book before finish watching the show.
