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.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“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.”
PASTE
“The Cleaning Lady Scours Up an Ambitious, Entertaining Start on FOX. Set against the very real crisis of undocumented immigration and humanizing those seeking support to keep their families together, The Cleaning Lady excels at centering the drama around Thony’s motivations.”
