What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nora From Queens showcases Awkwafina's charming brashness and surrounds her with an equally delightful cast -- especially scene stealer Lori Tan Chinn -- but it could stand to walk a less familiar comedic beat.

Linda Holmes NPR Particularly when Lum works with the other main members of the cast, the show is really funny and very appealing. Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Like Awkwafina herself, the show's charm and warm humor smoothly carry it, and its star channels both of those qualities into every moment, whether she's being rowdy, dirty, or introspective. Jan 22, 2020 Full Review Katie Rife AV Club Nora From Queens definitely bears the mark of the quirky Comedy Central anti-heroines who came before her, at its core the show nails two of the most important things for a successful sitcom: a distinct point of view and genuine heart. Rated: B Jan 22, 2020 Full Review Keith Watson Metro Newspaper (UK) She could easily just be a sad-sack slacker, but Awkwafina imbues her with such giddy energy and off-centre wit she's a golden comic creation. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Rob Harvilla The Ringer The show is fine, albeit very dumb, and it's an entirely different dramatic sport that only underscores her ability-a little uncomfortable but totally undeniable-to play a whole lot of different sports. Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Awkwafina's chemistry with her sympathetic widowed dad and no-nonsense grandma is also choice, with both relationships reading as lived-in and affectionate. Rated: 4/5 Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Patrick F A fun show with a likeable cast. Each episode places Nora(Awkwafina) in a variety of odd, crazy, fun situations that allow Awkwifina's sense of humor to show. Not a lot of laugh out loud moments, but a enjoyable experience and plenty of quirky and entertaining moments. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Dennys S She spoils movies and thinks she's all that but honestly my Asian family and we all just PASS on all her movies and series. She's not haha funny on comedy and she is NOT as dramatic in drama. GMA said " NO GOOD ", THAT WAS FUNNIER Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Jared S So glad I jumped on board for this fart humor extravaganza with Akwafina continuing to show her wide range. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Jan V What a fantastic show! Awkwafina/Nora is a great lead who knows how to portray a loser (or is that winner?) very well. Supporting cast is also great, with grandma taking the gold star here. Forget crazy rich Asians: Nora from Queens is where it's at! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review James H My problems with this show are the same as Clone High; the comedy is too random, and while there are frequent moments of charm in there, the whole season is a bit of drag. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Fanny R love ittt i need more seasons!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
