The Cleaner

First I'd like to say that very episode isn't as funny as the next but it's weird and wonderful and it doesn't need to be side splitting all the time because the storylines are brilliant.

I don't quite get the bad reviews because you just need to watch it and not think too deep about it, watch it and enjoy it for what it is. This innocent cleaner gets tangled up in these sticky situations.

Remember TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS and you'll love it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
