The take
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 influence. 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 kind that reaffirms your faith in humanity and its capacity for kindness—all in less than 30 minutes.
