True Grime: Crime Scene Clean Up

Even towards a new person thanking him for a job opportunity. He is probably why the show was cancelled. My stars are because of the interesting topic that deserves some exposure and the guys working for him.

Came across this on Discovery+ and it sounded interesting. However, what could have been a fascinating show was completely overshadowed by the drama of a verbally abusive boss and a couple seemingly incompetent employees and infighting. Holy hell, no wonder this show was canceled. Such a waste.

Watch an abusive boss hurl insults at emplyees who are doing the most disgusting work imaginable for him. I had seen enough after hearing him call an employee a pussy while he was cleaning blood out of a car. The guy and his business need to be looked at for his unethical practices involving his employees. If I were one of his employees I'd be having a serious confrontation with him after the very first insult he threw at me. You do not treat employees this way especially if they are doing this kind of work for you. The boss disgusts me.

Crime scene clean up. What could actually be the subject of really interesting and informative reality TV is lost in this show's look on the unpleasant task of cleaning up the aftermath of lawlessness.

The first obstacle is Neal Smither, the foul mouthed, control-freakish grime tech leader who is not above describing an employee as "Fat Ass" and appears to be one of the most unpleasant persons to work for. He tries to show a sensitive side while cleaning a crime scene, but it just doesn't seem believable.

The second obstacle is that the show does not grab your attention for very long. It's easy to switch channels on this series without the regret that you are going to miss something interesting.

What a shame that this little known profession is represented in such a manner. You'll be better off watching meerkat reruns.

I really enjoyed the show overall. Yes, Neal comes off a little cold-hearted at times but that does make/break the show. I felt it was very interesting to see the process that must be done after a blood shed. The job seems grueling and the tough work schedule must be very hard to manage. I suspect they get pretty good for all the night calls they are required to do.

Although, maybe it was the fact that I find Mike to be extremely handsome that kept me tuning in. Not quite sure yet :)

Overall, I enjoyed it because it gives you a different perspective about crimes. I have had my fill with all the murder mysteries so it was nice to watch something different for once.
