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.

The Cleaner is clever but small. I want to give it a 10, but I must say I do often wish it had an ensemble or bigger cast to grow the stories outside of the site. But it's still makes me laugh, hard. Great performances and writing! Truly and undervalued piece of TV. I love Greg Davies because he's hysterical (also because we share a birthday). Outside of that I still find this series to be richly hysterical and clever. The Aristocrat and The Neighbor are my favorite thus far and I hope to see at least a couple of more seasons. Plus Helena Bonham Carter on a can, I was dying on my sofa so hard I caught a cramp. I loathe that the BBC only gives you 6 episodes. But I'm American I get it we live off of tv and they stuff us full of it with 20-28 episodes a season. None the less! Awesome cannot wait for more.

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.

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.
