The Cleaner

Love the German version.... Saw it on German TV when I was there. Bought the DVD. The actor is so good, so expressive you almost don't need cc. Has an IMDB high rating of 8.0 plus? I just wish that amazon prime mhz, would show the rest of the seasons. Funny, thoughtful, insightful.

The english version has a similar introduction but unlike the murder mystery show Professor T, in its not an exact duplicate. The stories are unique and funny. The protagnist wrote and starred in this version and stories are completely different and uniquely British. It also doesn't have the paranormal component that the german version has. So you can enjoy both.

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.

Seems a hard place to begin thinking of making a comedy well played by Greg Davies this has really funny moments and keeps moving at a nice pace really enjoyable and surprisingly funny.

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 :-)

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.
