Let's be honest, a lot of the newer shows being released are often utter garbage.
Whether it's a repackaged storyline, or a 'fresh take' on something we didn't need to watch, there are a lot of underwhelming shows out there.
That's why viewers are now taking a look at older, more established programmes that they are yet to see.

And a Mark Marlow-led drama, which came out on ITV in 2019, certainly falls into that category with a whopping 92 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The six-parter, now available on Netflix, follows Sam Cook (Sheridan Smith), a single mother struggling with a gambling addiction, all while an ex-husband called Dave is trying to get full-time custody of their two daughters.
Working as an officer cleaner, she convinces her friend and colleague Jess (Jade Anouka) to try and illegally partake in insider trading to pay off their debts.

Titled Cleaning Up, you can take a look at the trailer below:
Already hoping for a season two, one excited viewer wrote: "I'm loving every episode of this show.
"Sheriden Smith is an amazing actress and I'm enjoying watching her switch between Sam the cleaner and 'Nancy' the Inside Trader.

"I've enjoyed how the plot has slowly got more and more complicated, especially as Sam tries to hide her gambling addiction from her family, friends and co-workers.
"I'd like to think that 'real life' in Canary Wharf is not like this, but I bet it is!
"Superb story, superb cast and so beautifully paced. I hope there will be further seasons of Cleaning Up in the future."

A second added: "Excellent programme, it showed what can and does happen to someone with a gambling problem.
"I am a member of Gamblers Anonymous and like any other addiction you can't say 'no more gambling' it does not work like that.
"To kick any addiction you need help."

"The cast is wonderful," another commented. "Sheridan Smith captivates with her deadly affliction.
"A life story well told. We cannot wait until the next episode.
"Should be more programs with this depth of honesty about life.
"After all a very clever person once said 'life is what happens while you are planning your future'."
Cleaning Up is available to watch on Netflix now.
