The Cleaner, Season 1 <All Episodes> weekly update





"The Cleaner," inspired by the true story of a real-life "extreme interventionist,"
stars Benjamin Bratt as William "The Cleaner" Banks, who, after hitting rock-bottom
from his own addictions after the birth of his daughter, strikes a tentative deal with God.
Now along with his unconventional team,
he helps people get away from their addictions by any means necessary.


“The Cleaner,” which follows the adventures of an "extreme interventionist," is a slightly
exasperating new series from A&E -- its first original scripted show in six years,
the network is proud to point out. There are some good things here, and some that are less good:
It's a mix of the professionally done, the professionally overdone, the reasonably convincing,
the surprisingly hackneyed and the occasionally absurd.

We are told by an opening title card that William Banks, who is played by Benjamin Bratt,
formerly of "Law & Order," "has saved 257 people from addiction to drugs, sex and gambling."
(I love the specificity of that figure.) "He's not a cop," the title continues. "He's not a superhero. He's just a man with a Calling."
Yet he has made himself hard to find, so he's a man with a calling whom you really have to want to call.
