The Cleaner (2021– )
7/10
Strong first episode.
19 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This gets brownie points for using a disabled actress when so many able bodied actresses and actors are used in place of those with disabilities.

Also, the opening episode is brilliant - seeing Helena was a definant pull into watching the rest of the series.

Sure, the laughs aren't thick and fast. Some other reviews point at the overuse of woke culture but in all honesty I think the script writers are going for a tongue in cheek way of conveying wokeism.

Surprisingly David Mitchell wasn't as good as he usually is but that's a small critique, perhaps was the episode structure. The use of misplaced slapstick humour with a cat randomly attacking the cleaner was irritating.

Overall its fluff and fun!
