Autumn TV Finales - The Cleaning Lady (American TV series)

The Cleaning Lady is really a no brainer for a season season. The FOX drama is based on the 2017 Argentinian television series La Chica Que Limpia. The series commenced early January, 2022. A brief ten episode season run basically ran straight through the end of the Australian summer.

The Cleaning Lady is a drama that centers on Thony De La Rosa, formerly a Filipina medical doctor who is currently working and living in Las Vegas. Her reason for being in the US on an expired visa is her five-year-old son, Luca. 

Luca has a rare and life-threatening medical disorder for which he needs a cutting-edge bone marrow treatment, which is only available in Las Vegas. Until she gets treatment for her son, 

Thony makes a living not as a trained doctor but as a cleaning service worker, alongside her sister-in-law, Fiona. After Thony accidentally witnesses a serious crime and is discovered hiding by the perpetrator, Arman Morales, she is offered a job both as a cleaner and a doctor within their criminal organization that could pay well enough to help her son and her family. 

Crossing into a moral gray zone, Thony begins to live a double life, keeping secrets from her family, all the while cleaning up murder scenes and dodging the law.


The season ends with a family cliffhanger along with tidying up a few loose ends. I enjoyed the finale along with the entire ten episode run.

Élodie Yung as Thony De La Rosa is a great leading lady. The story of helping her son, mixed with crime on the side was an interesting mix.

The Cleaning Lady has aired week to week on Binge. This is a little gem amongst some of Binge's other bigger titles.

So if you are looking for a new drama to consume now Euphoria has ended, give The Cleaning Lady a red hot go.

Until next time, here is a full recap along with the season two gossip!
