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 01/23/2020
Particularly when Lum works with the other main members of the cast, the show is really funny and very appealing. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 01/22/2020
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. Go to Full Review Katie Rife AV Club 01/22/2020
B
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. Go to Full Review Keith Watson Metro Newspaper (UK) 09/18/2020
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Rob Harvilla The Ringer 01/24/2020
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. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/23/2020
4/5
Awkwafina's chemistry with her sympathetic widowed dad and no-nonsense grandma is also choice, with both relationships reading as lived-in and affectionate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Danika H @nika1102 Jan 9 Funny, weird and chaotic. Awkwafina is one of my top actresses (Shang chi) so that's how I came across this, glad I did. Binge watched all of it hah! See more Penelope L @RT06283240 05/18/2025 I’m in love with every single character of this show. It’s like being at home and feeling like you can be yourself and are loved completely. Genius. See more Patrick F @RT61618422 12/17/2024 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. See more Jared S @RT19818428 07/26/2023 So glad I jumped on board for this fart humor extravaganza with Akwafina continuing to show her wide range. See more Jan V @RT50475020 07/24/2023 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! See more 09/09/2021 Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens is a great show, fueled by hilarious writing and outstanding performances from Awkwafina and Lori Tan Chinn. The music is also great. The only negative would be at times it feels the show tries too hard. See more Read all reviews
