If the first episode of Crime Scene Cleaners left you with an appetite for more of the grim truth, Monday, July 7’s offering at 10 PM on Channel 4 will likely satisfy. The series, which visits the unseen aftermath of violent acts, goes beyond the police tape to where the specialists move in. Episode 2 widens its scope, taking us from a fatal stabbing in a London rental car to the aftermath of a meth lab in Louisiana and a car crash in Phoenix.
This program is not for the faint of heart, as it contains graphic footage that speaks to the harsh realities these clean-up crews face. They are the ones who step into chaos, dealing with blood, brains, and other biohazards that remain long after the authorities have left. The focus is squarely on the challenging and often emotionally taxing work required to restore a scene.
Here, the story begins when the forensics end, as these trained professionals methodically clean and sanitize places touched by tragedy.
Crime Scene Cleaners is a Crackit Productions effort, with Elaine Hackett and Jon Connerty acting as executive producers. Marc Heffernan serves as the series editor.
