Miranda Kwok and showrunner Melissa Carter have adapted an original Argentine series into a drama with decently complex cultural politics. ... Here's a TV series that's pro-immigrant, pro-feminist, pro-stem cell research, anti-racist, and very cheesy. The Cleaning Lady mixes so many different things together, which is how you make a mess. It's also how you make a melting pot.

The show touches on so many topics that can make for really compelling drama, but there seems to be a penchant for the show to default to action scenes and “scary cartel” tropes more often than not. ... We’re OK with a more action-oriented, good guy-bad guy show because Yung and the rest of the cast do a good job with the material they’re given.

The show itself feels oddly sedate. Too restrained to be properly soapy and too silly to be convincingly gritty, The Cleaning Lady winds up in that inhospitable middle ground of shows that are not so much hateable as just plain forgettable. ... [Millan is] the only character who comes across like a living, breathing human being rather than a screenwriter’s outline of one.

I'm enjoying seeing how this series unfolds. I find it interesting enough to keep me watching. It is slow going but I believe this story line needs that in order to, eventually, see the broader picture. Definitely not for "family" viewing, but is watch-worthy!

A bit slow, the cleaning lady is a fascinating premise with mediocre execution. I will be watching to see how it develops.
