The Client List

My wife & I stumbled on this 2012/2013 2-season series on the "Recommended" row of TubiTV. We were looking for something to watch in this end-of-year stretch of nothing new to watch, and the strikes depleting the normal load of content.

I agree with the positive reviews I read, and am not going to repeat what they said.

I am not familiar with the book that is based on a true story. The synopsis of the 2010 movie is way different than the series, and I don't think would enjoy the movie version. This show was probably a little edgy for the time, but TV-14 rated and balanced with comedic and light to medium drama scenarios. The end of season 2 went a bit sideways. Too bad it was cancelled. There were a few good directions it could have gone, and I was hoping to see the story play out.

This show was really good. They need to continue to make episodes for this show. I don't like how they just randomly stop making episodes.

I was never big on watching TV series, but then I got a Netflix account and took a chance to watch one episode of this.. I liked it, so continued to next ep and then I was so engaged with the story, I ended up watching entire S1 and S2 within record two days!! I never expected I would ever spending literally hours watching any TV series like this.. but it happened with this one. needless to say, I liked this series a lot. In particular, I liked the strong character played by JLH. She totally delivered in the performance.. and so did the other supporting actors. The overall story is OKish if I think of it now, but what really made the difference was how the story was told/unfolded/delivered. The last few episodes in S2 were really gripping and kept the suspense going till last minute of S02E15. JLH is one damn hot babe, with a sensual yet a pleasing/lovely demeanor. I thoroughly enjoyed the series. It's pity that the series ended abruptly, so taking 2 points away for that.

I read some of the reviews before watching and I would not have watched it except that I like Jennifer Love Hewitt. So I decided to give it a try. Now, I'm not an experience reviewer but, it's not true that the acting and the script are awful. Yes, maybe not award winning but I found it engaging and interesting. Character development is good. I felt empathy for the main character and her struggles. It's a metaphor for "anything that can go wrong, will". Yes, I found it a little ridiculous that all her clients were hotties but I got over that. I feel some of the reviews are plain hateful. The "don't waste your time" and "avoid at all cost" comments are totally off. So, the bottom line, it's worth a try, if you don't like it after one episode, you only wasted one hour.

As a huge lifetime channel fan, and a big Jennifer Love Hewitt fan I was happy when I heard they were making this show.

If you saw the movie you know that The Client List is about a married mother who due to hard times goes to work at a massage parlor where some of the workers do a little more than give massages.The difference between the movie and the show is that the audience gets a more in depth look at the different clients and the everyday life of the main character Riley, plus we get to know about the other women that work in the massage parlor and how their jobs impact their lives.

Overall the show is lighthearted and funny but it still has its dramatic moments. I would say the only thing about the show that's a little hard to believe is that so many of the clients are really hot extremely fit guys (personally I think lifetime added the hot guys because they know their audience).

The biggest reasons why I like this show and will definitely keep watching is because the show is filled with secrets,sex and romance.
