+++Warning, this contains a minor spoiler from season one, but no major season two giveaways.+++
Season two of The Client List picks up with the police arriving in the middle of Rile and Kyle's argument. Riley, thinking the corrupt officer from season one is coming for her thinks she is going to get arrested, only for Kyle to be the one taken away. As the season plays out we get the obligatory love triangle between Riley, Evan, and Kyle, and Riley taking on more responsibility at The Rub, basically as the manager and quasi-owner. All while trying to avoid the police and competition from the owner of the local strip club. The actual Client List, with the names of all the clients of The Rub, becomes a MacGuffin throughout the season as all sorts of shady characters are trying to track it down.
The DVD release is just a MOD release with the episodes and no extras. You definitely want to check your discs as in my first set, disc two, even though it was labeled correctly had the episodes from disc one.
Overall, the series is good, but not great. It does not have any nudity but does show off Jennifer Love Hewitt's cleavage at every opportunity, and it, of course, has a lot of sexual content. So, it is not family-friendly in the least. It is definitely a cable soap opera and some of the plot lines are eye-roll-inducing. But, it pretty much stays in its lane and does not take itself too seriously. It does end on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved given that the show was canceled after the second season after Jennifer Love Hewitt's pregnancy and a reported dispute over who the father of a fictional child would be in the show. That said, it is not a major cliffhanger and so it is not really a disappointing end to the series even though it was not intended to be the end. It is a guilty pleasure show, and if you liked season one, you will probably like season two.
