Lifetime’s new Jennifer Love Hewitt drama series Client List got off to a solid start last night with 2.8 million viewers tuning in for the premiere.
That is Lifetime’s most watched series debut since the 2009 premiere of Drop Dead Diva, which also averaged 2.8 million viewers, and the second largest premiere viewership in the last 5 years, only behind the 2007 launch of Lifetime’s flagship drama Army Wives.
The Client List did far better than the premieres of Lifetime’s two most recent drama series, The Protector (1.9 million) and Against The Wall (1.8 million).
Considering The Client List opened on Easter night with lower HUT levels and strong cable competition, its delivery was encouraging for Lifetime, which needs another scripted hit, and a testament to the drawing power of Hewitt in lingerie.
I'm so happy for Jennifer, she did great for the debut!
i saw it today, downloaded it, I was thrilled! I think jLove shows the actress she is better here than in Ghost Whisperer, she is so beautiful and sexy my god
The 2nd episode was really good. The end bit with her dreaming that her husband came back was my favorite part. I also liked the ladies singing 'Before He Cheats'.
does anyone know when it starts in the UK...??
