HE CLEANER is a remake of the brilliant German series DER TATORTREINIGER. The individual episodes are not identical in content, but try to follow similar paths as the original.
What THE CLEANER is missing, in addition to the great leading actor Bjarne Mädel, is his cranky nature and the subtle, bizarre humor that makes this series unique.
THE CLEANER is louder and desperately tries to be funny. Bjarne Mädel tries exactly the opposite in DER TATORTREINIGER. He does a very serious job and, against his will, gets involved in strange and bizarre events every now and then.
If you know the original, you can safely save yourself the remake...

Climate hysteria and belief in the end of the world is now available in the form of an American miniseries.
Of course, the script and the actions of the characters are at least as nonsensical and ideology-driven as they are in real life. Unfortunately, some of the actors are really bad and with a little more realism and better research, it could have been an exciting eco-thriller. The scientists' methods are completely outrageous and are not explained anywhere. The whole thing is overshadowed by the obviously low budget.
All that remains is a moral club that wants to explain how a supposedly better world can function.

Walt Disney would be turning in his grave if he saw how his once loving, heartwarming, and captivating animated classics have been transformed into soulless, trivial, and morally polished high-tech spectacles today.
PETER PAN & WENDY seamlessly follows the other remakes of Disney classics, none of which can even remotely capture the magic of the originals. The story is told without enthusiasm, and the performances of the colourless seeming actors do not exactly boost the mood. Jude Law steals the show with an excessive amount of overacting.
What remains is a technically well-executed adventure film without heart and soul. And if Disney didn't also have the franchises of STAR WARS and MARVEL, I would have sold my shares a long time ago, because one can no longer expect anything of artistic value from this company...
