The Client List Discloses a Shocking Masseuse's Secrets
"The Client List", a series based on a 2010 cable movie and now airs on Lifetime, offers a bizarrely syrupy take on a tawdry enterprise.
Jennifer Love Hewitt goes from Ghost Whisperer to John Whisperer in this silly series based on a 2010 cable movie. That film also starred Hewitt, with Cybill Shepherd as her mother. The characters in the TV series have different names - but the same relationship. Shepherd again plays the mother. And the show has the same premise as the movie.
Hewitt stars as Riley, a woman who's devastated when her husband (Brian Hallisay) runs off after she lands a job as a massage therapist at a spa (called The Rub) in an effort to better their financial situation.
Riley soon learns that if she wants to make big money at the spa, she has to be willing to give "extras." At first she resists but, after a montage of unattractive male and elderly women clients, she gives in. Suddenly she's rolling in dough and all her clients are chiseled hunks. Because I'm sure that's how it works in real life.
"The Client List" plays hard-to-get about what exactly these "extras" are that Riley gives the guys. She's maybe-sorta a prostitute, but the show's tone is light, frothy and downright sentimental when Riley gives emotional support to her male clients.
In one scene, she wears a nightgown the client bought her, but most of the time in the premiere episode she's shown interacting with a massage client who just needs a good listener. Later, she has a sob-sister moment with the man's wife after the woman stalks Riley.
"In all my years, I've never known one of my girls to save a marriage," says Riley's boss, Georgia (Loretta Devine), who's more den mother than madam to Riley and her co-workers.
