Benjamin Bratt is... THE CLEANER

[Agent Richard07]

The premiere has just aired on A&E. It stars Benjamin Bratt as a recovering addict who dedicates his time to rescuing others from their problems and addictions. Anyone catch this show? If not, the premiere should be on a few more times this week. The show also stars Grace Park.

Nice to see that Grace Park has a new show. When did BSG finally wrap?

I don't know. I'm under the impression that it was the end of June.

I was wondering how she was able to schedule this while still on BSG.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The actual content notwithstanding, the title sounds like the lamest superhero ever made.

"It's...BICYCLE REPAIR MAN!"

I thought he was going to be a hitman. The premise just sounds like the incredible hulk tv show without the day-glo eyes and ripping clothes.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Meh. He'll always be Rey Curtis to me. He was great on L&O.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Not even Grace Park () can get me to watch a show about people dealing with addicts. Yawn.

They were running long, it was June 30th, then July 3rd, then July 5th. I know they finished up before the 12th through.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I checked it out, and the premise has some potential, but the execution was far too rescue-of-the-week formulaic. I'd rather see the Cleaner Squad treated more like a dangerous little cult of former addicts/fanatics. After all, they do kidnap people and what they're doing seems really on the edge of legality. Why not do something with that? Why not set up ongoing tension between Bratt's little band and the cops?

And lose Grace Park's character. She was like someone teleported in from Charlie's Angels. Her minimal acting ability seems to be regressing anyway. Now she can't even enunciate her lines.

 

[Barbados Slim]

I skipped it. I'll watch Intervention instead. Same premise, but genuine.
