Awkwafina è Nora del Queens

I wasn't loving it then after about 4 episodes( I think) it really grew on me. I had no idea who Awkwafina was before ( at first thought maybe she was same girl in Pens15) but she isn't. Any ways I think this came up when I was searching for something similar to Kims Convenience) because I loved that I think tho this is a different one but I started really liking it. I almost fast forwarded thru the grandma episode but I ended up really liking that one. I only have like 3 episodes left. I'm going to go try to find some more similar ones. I need funny in my life right now. Lol.

I saw an interview with Awkwafina after the Oceans 9 movie and thought she seemed like a genuine and gracious. Recently I happened to catch her show about life and living in Forest Hills and New York City. It took me a little time to understand that Nora wants to be confident street tough but is really a softie underneath all that bark, always one step behind life and trying to crawl her way out of the messes she creates for herself. Unlike many sitcoms, there is no mean spirited humor. Perhaps I like the show more because I think Nora as a person is so very likeable and worked hard and deserves her success. But she is very funny, even in all her interviews.

It's not for the easily offended, but I got a good laugh and I can see myself in her shoes on different situations :) The humor is a little different, but good. It's more relatable for women than men, reminds me of Broad City.

I liked her in Rich crazy Asians. The show becomes addictive. She is hilarious and I hope she goes far. The show is quirky and mostly a barrel of laughs because of her

I didn't know who Awkwafina was before I stumbled upon this in early 2020. A lot has changed since then globally and personally, Awkwafina herself is now in a billion massive films and I couldn't be happier because what hooked me into this was entirely her bottomless charm. Well, her and Lori Tan Chinn. Well... her and BD Wong and Lori Tan Chinn. And Bowen Yang. Oh and Stephanie Hsu. Just all of those. Nora is not a super consistent show but there's heart, laughs and some truly silly tangents which I value. I never expected it to keep going after she got gigantic - so three seasons feels like a good amount!
