Lipstick Jungle Reviews
Wish I could be watching Journeyman and Bionic Woman saying the same. I was happy that NBC brought this back. Excellent show great season opener. Plot is picking up speed and the characters are getting deeper. A's all around.
Episode 8 changes the path the friends will take. Season 1 of Lipstick Jungle (7 episodes) was great. It was a great episode and a great start for the second season. It was exciting, interesting and had great storylines. Last season, the three friends experienced problems in their relationships, careers and their own friendships. By the season finale Nico and Wendy finally patched things up and friends supported Nico in a difficult situation. (Although, I would have liked Nico's situation to have lasted a few more episodes). Season 2 starts just as good.
The only bright spot in this is the performance of Kim Raver. Seems like it was written by and for weak witless women. She can't carry it though. The show itself is poorly thought out, doesn't follow any kind of logic, doesn't really know how strong intelligent women actually behave. She is a great actress.
Weaker character and falser plotlines than the also-in-first-season Cashmere Mafia - conflicts of femininity and career success is the battleground and Cashmere Mafia occupies all the high ground. Its creators aught to put this one in the win column if NBC airs the whole season, if not cutting it sooner. Lipstick is forgettable, uninspired, and a mockery of its rival.
It's very relatable and charismatic. As an ambitious woman in her twenties, it's refreshing to finally see powerful, accomplished, career-minded women portrayed in a real way. Each character portrays a women in a different phase of life, which makes the show so interesting and I feel like I've learned something that may be useful. Not only do they portray the glamour but they portray real struggles (however dramatized of course) that contemporary, accomplished women must face. The plot is exciting & enticing.
