Life on Top was an American softcore drama series based on the novel of the same name by Clara Darling. It aired on Cinemax from October 3, 2009 to April 1, 2011 with 26 episodes focusing on young corporate professionals with four women as the de facto main characters.[1][2]

Although it is heavily implied to be Manhattan, principal photography was in Bucharest, Romania over five weeks,[3] with the help of production company Castel Film Romania. A map of Romania can be seen in Season 1, Episode 2 and the vast majority of the supporting cast shown in the end credits is Romanian.

In 2015, Life on Top was featured in Under the Gun Theater's performance of Porn Minus Porn, a comedy show where actors parody softcore porn by cold reading scripts.[4]
