based on real person hence why i like it

The cleaner tells the story of William Banks. He's a recovering addict who struggles to maintain his own rocky personal life while he helps others get clean by any means necessary. William works with an eclectic group, and together they bring addicts of all kinds to the point where they are ready and willing to get help and begin the difficult process of getting clean. With every success and every failure, William must confront his own demons through his unusual relationship with God. He's a man caught between a deep love for his family, an unwavering commitment to his work, and the ghosts of his own addictions.

This show is based on the real life story of Warren Boyd

Yes ever since you recommended it

spratt89
When William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) hits rock-bottom from his own addictions during the birth of his twins, he makes a deal with God: in exchange for a second chance at life, he will kick his habits and live his life to help others get clean that have fallen into a life of addiction, whether it is sex, drugs, alcohol, or gambling ... by any means necessary.

I saw one episode and I thought it was really good.  I found the stories very real and moving and Bratt, I think, does a fantastic job of acting.

This was a great episode -there never dealt 3 separate addicts in one go it was really crazy and enjoyable to watch. So far this has been my favourite episode because they didn't come to them-they found them

Yes this was one of the best episodes you can understand why the cop is like that after shooting her in the back. That was emotional when the young girl wanted to stay and look after her dad

This was a good episode mother who made money from her son as drug addict seem wrong in my books you shouldn't make bad memories into book who the hell does that women think she is. i just wish she had gone William first time around instead rehab centre. What a revelation it became after they found him into gender mental disorder that caused the drug problem.

i completely agree but i couldn't believe she misguided pushing your kids is one things but to give her drugs is just so wrong .

Author: kahmeleone    Time: 8-30-2009 00:10     Subject: Names of season 2 episodes are off by one for instance..

for instance, the Turtle and the Butterfly is the one with Miles the kid and Travis .... not the one with the Lula and the Mom codependent.  I used to watch episodes on A&E so that's how I noticed this. plus if you remember the little story Miles told about the snapping turtles waiting for the daddy to come with the water, only to have the water taken by the butterfly.. Cool in the end when Miles looks at him and says he's the Daddy Turtle.

I hope one day they find a way to go back and get Travis; I remain hopeful.


I loved the latest episode because it dealt with gender differences as well as drug addiction. Having known people afflicted with both I was fond of this episode.  I do some volunteer work with a rehab center; gosh, you'd think I get enough in real life but no, I still love the show!
