There are some great actors in this show, and it's great to see them in a comedy, but this is an obvious Brittas Empire rip-off 😓
Rebecca Front, Tim Healy, Debbie Chazen, Frances Barber and all try their very hardest with the limited material on offer, but it's not really a big surprise that the show got cancelled after the first series.
Unfortunately Derren Litten seems to have an extremely limited repertoire when it comes to comedy. I love Benidorm and have all the DVDs, but it can be a bit hit and miss.
This show is exactly the same in that respect.
I wanted to love it to bits, but alas....

There's more than a hint of the hilarious Brittas Empire about The Spa and it's all the better for it. This version though, is more up-to-date and has more quirky characters in it than the Brittas Empire ever did. Yes it's a bit crass at times, and silly, but it's also very funny, as in laugh out loud funny. Unfortunately, just as the cast seemed to be really getting into their various characters, it was canceled. A real shame because a second season would have been great to see.
