Critic Reviews

Misha Davenport

Season 1 Review: Some may take issue with the cynical tone of both series [Saving grace and The Cleaner] or the fact that there is very little divine intervention in either. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: It's not a bad show, but the mechanics of how they're going to abduct their latest target are far less engaging than how the team interacts with each other and how each member fights his or her compulsions. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Season 1 Review: You see Mr. Bratt with his goatee and expressions of martyrdom, but you hear the voice of Nancy Reagan. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: The show is an extremely mixed bag, but he's an extremely likable extreme interventionist. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: It's all meant to be exciting, but like everything else about The Cleaner, it comes across as almost profoundly silly. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

Season 1 Review: I'd describe it as ludicrous, but that might give the impression that it's remotely entertaining. Read full review

Tom Shales

Season 1 Review: It's the end of the hour, and we're still waiting for the real show to begin, too. Read full review
