let see and there be four close female friend who struggle at their private life and while theyre highly successful in their job representmia ( lucy liu ) who lose her fiancé who couldn not deal with not be able to keep up with her . zoe ( france oconnor ) who try not to neglect her child and while balance her career . juliet ( miranda otto ) who have to deal with a rebellious teenage daughter and while her husband have an affair . caitlin ( bonnie sommerville ) who discover that the person with whom she might spend her life with and might be a woman . poor cashmere mafia just premier on abc and have already to prove itself . with four woman a leading lady and story which focus on sex and friendship and love and the show draw comparison to successful cult favorite like sex and the city and desperate housewife and not to mention the upcoming similar theme lipstick jungle . while cashmere mafia might look like a cheap knock off of sex and the city and the show actually try to achieve something else and differentiate itself from it successful ancestor by address real life issue like gender rivalry or successful family or business management . unfortunately the show suffer from stereotype and a pretty clumsy execution of a concept that might look promise on paper . especially the plot which revolve around caitlin realizing that she might be gay be execute in the most unbelievable way you could imagine . while it not a bad idea to include a lesbian or bisexual in a show which focus on four woman and the execution of the whole storyline lack of realism . in the beginning of the episode caitlin break up with her boyfriend just to fall in love with a woman the next morning and who magically appear to be a lesbian as well . the moment in which caitlin realize that she might have an interest in this woman be execute very ridiculously with silly music in the background and a long focus on caitlin face with a dorky smile . the dialogue of the show feel force at time and especially when the male writer want to underline how close and female these four woman be . the actress do their best and but lack of chemistry . so far they do not really feel like close friend and but if you look back at the premiere of show like desperate housewife and you see that it wasn not there from the beginning either . there be still the possibility that they develop more chemistry over the course of the series . the show be not really male friendly . the male character be pretty much undeveloped in opposite to the woman and fall into clichés . there have to be a cheater and a man who can not deal with his girlfriend be more successful than he be and the loyal puppy husband . it understandable that they focus more on the lady and but it wouldn not have harm the show if they treat the male character equally well and have make them a little bit more complex . after watch the pilot and the show feel like an underwhelming mix of desperate housewife and sex and the city . two character of the show even strongly remind me at character of desperate housewife . juliet be very similar to bree since she be the readhead who try to keep up appearance all the way through the pilot and while zoe feel like a young lynette since she have to struggle with the same issue . the show definitely have some potential to get good and but so far and the show hasn not really be very impressive nor realistic . it definitely need a chance to grow and i be not sure whether audience give the show enough time to get good .
