The Cleaner

I have waited a few episodes before reviewing this, as I had no idea which way it was going to go, a few episodes in, and I am hooked.

I don't think we've not been well served with new comedy shows in recent times, the reliance rests with old favourites such as Inside no.9 and Not going out. The Cleaner might just change all that, I can see this running.

The format really does work, and there is no denying the brilliance of Greg Davies, his writing, timing and general talent.

Every episode has a different flavour, there really is a depth of variety, light, dark, and not afraid to have a pop at taboo subjects.

This far, The Aristocrat has been my favourite episode, but I've genuinely enjoyed them all.

Love it, 9/10.

I had no idea what to expect from this first episode. It certainly wasn't HBC.

Humor is a matter of taste, what I find funny many not be by others and visa versa, for example I found nothing to laugh about with 'The Office' and still find Mr. Gervais unfunny. I found this different and it made me laugh a number of times.

HBC was an unexpected guest star as I hadn't read about who would be in it other than Greg Davies, who I have always found to be funny. I'll certainly be watching more.

This is a great show, I like Greg and this is really well written with nice surprises, it will have you thinking and also laughing out load, every episode I have found myself laughing out loud I really hope they commission another season Great Stuff.

The UK has an increasing body of works of quality wry dramas written by people we think of as comedians.

People in the reviews giving this 5 stars of less - because it's not 'laugh out loud', 'roll on the floor' funny are missing the point of these sorts of gems.

Peep Show, Inside no.9,Saxondale,Camping, Truth Seekers - and so on.

If you've enjoyed Greg's stand up or Man Down in the past then you should find plenty to enjoy, as each episode has some great gags and every now and then a little depth creeps into the story and catches you by surprise. There are also some great guest spots.

I can only assume that some negative reviewers are not fans of his humour - we watched the first 4 in one sitting and like it a lot :-)
