The premise is clever: a husband and wife operate a toxic clean company whose chief purpose is putting crime scenes back to their original condition. But somehow the duo get pulled into the who done it and end up figuring out what happened. This is all done tongue in cheek so you aren't expected to take it seriously. The laughs that occur are mostly chuckles and the crimes are interesting enough to keep you watching. The cast is fine and for the most part the stories come across as a sort of updated Tuppence and Tommy much like the older series Partners in Crime. Shaun Micallef is fine as the husband who uses his seemingly massive store of factoids to see connections among clues. And Kat Stewart is believable as the more cautious partner who believes it best to have the police nearby rather than go charging into a situation that could prove dangerous. Lucy Honigman plays their niece who finds herself, usually unwillingly, participating in her relatives' adventures.
