Description
Wicky is a crime scene cleaner, which is pretty much all there is to know about the series. That's right, it's a sitcom about death, murder, blood and crime. The premise might be dark, but the guest cast is great, featuring some of Britain's best comedians and actors.
Cast

- Helena Bonham Carter

Spotlight Star
I usually like to choose someone not in the main role to be the Spotlight Star, but there wasn't much choice with Greg being the only season regular. Nonetheless, Wicky is an interesting character and makes The Cleaner feel like a fresh sitcom.
Opinion
The problem I have with this review is that none of the episodes are connected, so it doesn't feel like a usual sitcom. I enjoyed the first series more than the second, but the Christmas Special was, in my opinion, one of the show's best episodes.
