Cleaning Up

I watched the whole series but there's some severe flaws in the show's writing and concept-creation. Like how there is very little CCTV reference despite it being there in that office environment.

That ID checks are properly lapse. That would not happen. The fact that a relatively non-technical person got a usb stick and managed to copy x amount of information and print it on the printers which have a READ HISTORY will not actually happen. DNA is on the USB stick. Jeez!

The IT traders' desks aren't correct. Not enough screens/data. The boss with a heavy accent with a cleaning company not making enough money in CW is incorrect when contractors already run the floors and they are stable operations.

I don't understand how she opened a card in her daughters' names and her ex was able to check the information when it was protected in hers. Not possible.

I don't get how the £14k debt make sense and he kept coming over her house and the school. Like a pro would not waste that amount of time and he would be with other people.

The acting was ok and it was ok popcorn drama with a nice ending but it just so unrealistic. So much poetic license with omitting actual integritiy on trading life. Please ask traders for consultancy roles before writing these scripts. It costs £50 to register a new business not £2,000. I'm a bit confused as how the three of them thought they could cold-call trading companies who already have contracted cleaning firms installed.

Oh well. 4/10.

Great acting but as the series goes on it becomes more implausible.

Watched it because of the original idea plot wise and Sheridan smith,she must be hard up for parts it is terrible,I know compulsive gamblers,this bares no resemblance to the lifestyle,the unbelievable moneylender and infantile writing makes it unwatchable added to the fact it's on itv avoid at all costs.

A six part series focusing on Sam, a struggling mum, and a cleaner with an addiction.

It is absurd, you need to suspend your disbelief, but it has an important message. Gambling is so often glamorous on TV, smart casinos, lottery wins etc, this shows the true reality of it, the pain, the misery, the lying, affects on family life etc.

Smith is terrific, the character of Sam is diabolical, she's awful, she lies freely, cheats on her friends, and will do anything other than tell the truth. I do see gambling as an addiction, and you truly see its ugly side here.

Some of the characters are a bit stupid, but the message here is an important one.

The one star ratings here are a joke, ignore them, it's not wonderful, but it is a good watch.

Some years back ITV made a drama called Hot Money which starred Caroline Quentin, this is on the same lines.

Watchable for Smith, and the true side of gambling. 7/10.

. I see too much rubbish in TV, as my wife watches it! I try to read. This should be a great drama, given the lead the writers and the slightly different concept. My problem wit most TV is that everything is so unlikely. Trading offices wuld not have cleaners in during the work day - everythng on the screeens are too sensitive. Likewise, PCs and monitors would not be running when the traders are away from their desk, especially at night! How many days did it take to look at the CCTV ?! (just saw that bit).

There is Artisitic Licence, and it is probably a neccessary element of TV dramas, but this is just ridiculous.

If you mssed it on normal TV - DO NOT pay a penny to see it.
