Chinn is as close as the show comes to having a co-lead. She takes full advantage of a winning chemistry with Awkwafina to create some memorable moments.

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.

"Awkwakfina Is Nora From Queens" needs to find its own identity - and fast.
January 22, 2020
The series has already been renewed for a second season, and while the early episodes have their rocky moments, Nora From Queens is a show fully capable of finding the perfect footing-even if its lead character can't.

Awkwafina's chemistry with her sympathetic widowed dad and no-nonsense grandma is also choice, with both relationships reading as lived-in and affectionate.

Particularly when Lum works with the other main members of the cast, the show is really funny and very appealing.

But ultimately, the show is Awkwafina's baby all the way, as she brings her own fearless twists to the slacker genre. She has the chops to anchor a series, and the wisdom to let other performers steal scenes.
January 22, 2020
Awkwafina is pretty funny, but so is the rest of the cast, and she grounds her comedy by concentrating on her family.
January 23, 2020
Nora from Queens is sweet and simple, even if at times it seems like it's too formulaic of a show to encompass Lum's range as a comedic weirdo.
January 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.
January 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.
January 21, 2020
"Nora" is a unbridled joy.
