I can't even watch the show "The Cleaner" it just looks too glorified, and silly.
I am sorry you feel that way. The Cleaner is based on some of Warren Boyd's (he is also one of the Executive Producers) earlier cases. He is well known in the L.A. area, does not necessarily do what he does for money, just takes the 'real hard core ones'. He now has 3 or 4 'detox and treatment' houses where he has staff (mostly in recovery themselves) that run them. He has 'hi tech' surveillance equipment now and several Doctors that work with him.
He has toned down some since his early years in recovery. The show is actually 'toned' down from his early years also.
I enjoy The Cleaner. It is an excellent depiction of 'addiction.' Maybe more graphic than some would want to see.
Intervention too is graphic. Maybe by not sugar coating what they are showing they will wake some folks up. I sure hope so. As to the one showing the gal shooting into her neck ...................................... well most addicts do that as a last resort when all other avenues are too scarred over, I don't believe it was 'educating any new addicts on ways of administration.'
