Joel Keller

Season 1 Review: Awkwafina is pretty funny in Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens. But so is the rest of the cast, and she grounds her comedy by concentrating on her family. Read full review

Collider Tania Hussain

Season 3 Review: Even if the writing is a tad weak in spots compared to its previous seasons, Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens Season 3 still has moments of laugh-out-loud hilarity mixed with poignancy, a sharp point of view, and a genuine heart that cannot be tamed. Read full review

Tim Surette

Season 1 Review: Nora from Queens has two things that give it its own identity: It's told from an Asian-American point of view, and its hero still lives at home with her father and grandmother. Read full review

The Guardian Adrian Horton

Season 1 Review: The thinness of the show’s plot thus puts a hefty burden on the shoulders of Awkwafina as the show’s star, and she demonstrates once again to be an energetic, compelling performer, especially when it comes to physical comedy. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Jan 21, 2020

Season 1 Review: Despite some funny moments, the show falls into a broad category of TV comedy -- the 20-something slacker, fumbling her way through life in the big city -- that can't help but feel a little stale at this point. Read full review

Hank Stuever

Season 1 Review: A patchy but occasionally amusing melange of semi-autobiographical stories about the life of an even more awkward Awkwafina. It’s a glance back over her shoulder, with a nod to what might have been. Read full review

Lorraine Ali

Jan 22, 2020

Season 1 Review: This collection of wacky conundrums and underachiever gags feels like a missed opportunity — and distinctly half-realized next to her other stellar achievements of late. ... Nora needs more than meandering dialogue and a few absurd set pieces (catching her roommate’s apartment on fire, for example) to emerge from her funk as an underdeveloped character. Read full review

Love it! A great show that uses humor to showcase the difficulties of being a modern Asian American with a popular award winning cast.
