7.4/10
A cleaner helps people with their mess in more ways than one in this breezy sitcom

The titular cleaner, Wicky (Greg Davies), is a simple man who serves as a foil to the eccentric people he meets in each episode. Sometimes, he’s cleaning up after a murderous suburban wife, other times, he’s helping fake a crime for an egocentric influencer. Always, Wicky and the show find the humorous and humane threads in these bizarre moments. Despite all the blood and gore, it’s a deeply comforting show, the sort that reaffirms your faith in humanity and its capacity for kindness—all in less than 30 minutes.

Synopsis

After CSI have done their stuff, the cleaner mops up the grisly remains. For Wicky, a bloodbath and the pub is all in a day's work.

Storyline
