A Little Spa Day Won’t Kill You…or Will it?

If there is one thing we all miss during the pandemic lockdown, it is spa days. Well, if you can’t get to the real thing, try steaming via streaming some spa time with the premiere of Crazy Bitches, Season Two: Spa Days, an 8-episode series available now on the OML on Revry channel.

Following in the footsteps of creator Jane Clark’s Crazy Bitches Season One: Live Vain Die Ugly (formerly the feature film Crazy Bitches), this sexed up, funny, creepy, blood-oozing second season, Crazy Bitches: Spa Days, picks up several months after the slaughter at Hallowed Spirits Ranch.

One or more killers remains on the loose – unbeknownst to the women gathered at nearby Ranch Wellness. Ostensibly there to reclaim their relationship with Mother Earth and their own vaginas, most are more interested in catty comments, cocktails by the pool and the cute staff. A beautiful first day in the sun turns dark when a guest drowns. Cucumber eye chunks, anyone?

The police investigate what they assume is an accident, but soon bodies pile up. Wellness is about to get sick!

Season Two’s fun, campy romp includes such stars as Guinevere Turner (Go Fish), Cathay Debuono (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Candis Cayne (Disclosure) and David Fumero (One Life to Live). “The character Rhea Alcott Thomas was a lot of fun to inhabit,” says Guinevere Turner. “She’s a demanding and commanding diva who is never at a loss for a cutting turn of phrase (while being quietly insecure in an All About Eve kind of way.) In short, a dream character to play!”

The absolute blast that everyone had during production is reflected in the gleefully lusty and wryly funny energy of the finished season that was shot on location at a sprawling ranch in Carpenteria, California.

The cast of 25, and the characters they play, are diverse in ethnicity, age, gender and sexuality. Those who lived through the Season One slaughter continue on to Season Two in one way, shape, or form – some actors that are killed off in Season One come back in Season Two as new characters (ala “American Horror Stories”), and there is even some new blood to this season of the Crazy Bitches franchise.

“The Crazy Bitches series was spurred by a friend who was feeling bad about herself and built up her self-esteem by flaunting an asset (unconsciously I’m sure) that stabbed at a deep insecurity of mine,” shared Creator, Jane Clark (Elena Undone and Meth Head). “It got me thinking about how common those experiences are, because we all have at least one insecurity we battle – insecurities created by the representation of women in the media, perpetuated by our peers, and sometimes even our family.The expectation of how we are supposed to behave, dress, look.”

In Season Two, Clark explores the differences between generations and classes. The “20 somethings” have insecurities that cause them to lash out at each other and, stirred by jealousy, at women who make them feel small. The staff of the spa has insecurities that are poked at by the economic status of their guests. The “40 somethings” have learned to value friendships as their insecurities have shifted and turned inward.

And a mother unintentionally pushes her insecurities on to her daughter under the guise of advice and protection as the teenager pushes back against those feelings in herself.

And you thought the spa would be relaxing? Sit back, relax and hold your breath!
