Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara
Because it's fun to watch the rich and mighty stumble and scheme, which novelists as diverse as William Thackeray and Judith Krantz have long known. In the first two episodes at least, the quality of the acting and the writing brings depth to what could so easily be the fetid shallows of life issues of the rich and famous

It seems Darren Star has moved away from the fantasy of the upwardly mobile professional woman who seizes life's pleasures for everything they're worth; his ABC dramedy proves, time and again, that every treasure we hunt for comes with a higher price not listed on any receipt.

It affects a frisky aura of gamesmanship with its tight-knit friends (played by Lucy Liu, Frances O'Connor, Miranda Otto and Bonnie Somerville) as they send their distress-text signals to each other, meet up, hash out their obstacles--cheaters, competitors, cads and the clock--and plan their counterattacks.

One reason it all works is the quality behind the concept.

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
Mostly the series functions as an entertaining if pale sequel to its HBO prototype.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Ignoring all that, shallow Mafia entertains in key moments.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
The new show from "Sex and the City" producer Darren Star, is a strained attempt to build another hit about four peacocky New York women who sip martinis and use the word "penis" as often as possible.

Sadly, though, the cliches rack up even faster than the wardrobe changes.

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
A ho-hum knockoff of "Sex and the City."
