The comedy series follows the story of a girl named Awkwafina who has decided to star in the writer, actress, and rapper as a 20-year-old living in Queens. In that idyllic city, this girl coexists with more challenges and strives for a greater life than life while she lives with her father and grandmother who always support her.
CRITICS OF "Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens - Season 1"
Esquire Magazine
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.
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.
Awkwafina's chemistry with her sympathetic widowed dad and no-nonsense grandma is also choice, with both relationships reading as lived-in and affectionate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
