Sheridan Smith's drama Cleaning Up is doing very well on Netflix right now, trending at number two in programmes in the UK. That's pretty good considering the show first came out in 2019.
The series aired on ITV across six weeks, reportedly averaging about 7 million viewers at the time. But now it's been added to the streaming service, it's got a second lease of life with plenty more viewers.
One of the reasons the show might be so popular this time around is because the series has a very strong score on Rotten Tomatoes, as it stands at 92% at the time of writing.
