The Cleaning Lady is a story of great emotional significance that has captivated the audience with its combination of a very suspenseful plot and an empowered female figure. Currently available for streaming on HBO Max, it premiered on Fox on January 3, 2022 and this week it was announced that it will have a second season.
The series follows Thony de la Rosa, an undocumented Cambodian doctor who lives in Las Vegas. Thony works in the cleaning service and accepts any work that helps her save money for the treatment of her son, who suffers from an autoimmune disease.
One night, Thony witnesses a murder. The author, Arman Morales, discovers it hidden. He offers him an unusual job: cleaning up at crime scenes and medical care for members of his criminal organization. With that money you could help your son. Now Thony begins to live a double life, behind his family's back, while cleaning up bloody places and dodging the law.
The Girl Who Cleans is a version of an Argentinian series (The Girl Who Cleans, in Latin America) created by Greta Molas in 2017. This adaptation stars Frenchwoman Élodie Yung, who is accompanied by Adan Canto and Oliver Hudson.
The series was developed by Miranda Kwok and showrunner Melissa Carter (Queen Sugar), and its executive producers were Shay Mitchell, David Dean Portelli, Rose Marie Vega and Paola Suarez. The series was produced in partnership between Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.
What do the critics say in the US?
“A pro-immigration, pro-feminism, pro-stem cell research, anti-racist and very cheesy television series. It mixes a lot of different things, which is the way you make a mess. It is also the way to make a melting pot of cultures.” (Darren Franich, Entertainment Weekly)
“It's interesting to see an Asian woman as the protagonist of a story like this (...) Kwok's script does a good job of focusing a narrative without directly attacking us with claims about diversity.” (Radhika Menon, Paste Magazine)
“Yung is a captivating protagonist, and the complicated story of Thony — a Cambodian by birth, emigrated from the Philippines — may appeal to a segment of the audience that is rarely seen on screen. Although much of the mafia action in the background of the series lacks verve and pop, Yung achieves his mission with the large part of the program he is asked to load.” (Daniel D'Addario, Variety)
“The execution of the idea is not without problems, but the idea itself is worth it.” (Jonathon Wilson: Ready Steady Cut)
