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.

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.

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 :-)

See this for what it is.. a dark comedy sitcom. Each episode got funnier. Greg at his best just being Greg no matter what part he plays. Great character acting from all involved.
