      Critics Consensus

      Elodie Yung is winning as a resourceful protagonist in over her head, but The Cleaning Lady needs to polish its clichés into something more substantial if it wants to truly sparkle.

      Audience Member I saw a review where someone said the first episode was really good and then it went downhill. I have to agree with that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Alan M The first episode of the series was very good however the writing and plot has slowly become more predictable and ludicrous, very disappointing when it had so much potential. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Trina H I wanted to like this show. It started out great and interesting, but began to be utterly ridiculous, unrealistic, frustrating and boring. I found myself not liking any of the main characters. Exspecailly, Tony. I was rooting for her to be killed off in every episode. As well as her dizzy, useless sister. I seems asif the writer of this script ran out of good & plausible ideas mid-way through the first season. I am utterly surprised that there was a 2nd season. What a disappointment as this could have been a really good TV series. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Alena S The start was intriguing but every next episode was more and more logic. Makes no sense. Just another soap opera Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review elaine o The best, love it❤️. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Void D The main character is a cleaning lady, but she is not your average cleaning. No, no, no. She is THE cleaning lady. This season is good. I'd recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kristen Lopez indieWire 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. Rated: D+ Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly The Cleaning Ladymixes so many different things together, which is how you make a mess. It's also how you make a melting pot. Rated: B Jan 5, 2022 Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety Yung is an appealing lead, and Thony's complicated backstory -- Cambodian by birth, she emigrated from the Philippines -- may appeal to a segment of the audience that is too rarely seen onscreen. Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Randa Awada Common Sense Media While the series features the underrepresented story of undocumented workers, it's still highly predictable with a pretty dull script. Rated: 3/5 Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Joel Keller Decider We wish The Cleaning Lady would dive a bit more below the surface on some of the issues that Thony and her family are facing, 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. Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba It's the kind of show that no one will remember two years from now, by which time hopefully Yung will have gone on to something better and more memorable.
