    “The Cleaning Lady” has good intentions, but is far too derivative to form a compelling series. Yung is a star, as is Millan, but the two women are smothered by the soapy (pun intended) issues of a criminal underworld that feels like Mafia 101.

    The concept here isn’t bad but the execution is another story as the writers pull out all the stops to manipulate the emotions of their viewers in ways that alternate between annoying and exploitative.

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

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.
