    Kwok’s script does a good job of centering this narrative without hitting us over the head with claims of diversity and representation, the balance integral to its success. It’s a unique character inhabiting a unique world: the perfect ingredients for an exciting story.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Three minutes in attempted murder on the "evil white man."
    This sets up our lead as the "hero."
    Did the handsy boss deserve to be sued and impoverished? Yep
    Assaulted and a hole cut in his throat? Nope
    More woke trash.

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

    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 lineI'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! Full Review »
