The Cleaning Lady is a gripping Argentinian crime thriller that follows the story of Rosa (Antonella Costa), a forensic cleaner who leads a double life as a contract killer. Rosa’s dangerous and secretive lifestyle is challenged when she becomes involved with an ex-cop, Santiago (Pablo Cedrón), who believes that his daughter was murdered by a criminal gang. As Rosa becomes more entangled in Santiago’s investigation, she must navigate through a web of corruption, deceit and murder – all while trying to keep her own crimes a secret. Her efforts are further complicated by the arrival of Dorothy (Mimi Ardú), her erratic and manipulative boss, who has a personal interest in keeping Rosa under her control. The series explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and morality through the eyes of a flawed protagonist who is driven by her own tough past. Rosa’s character is complex, multi-layered and beautifully portrayed by Costa, who delivers a nuanced performance that conveys both her character’s vulnerability and her strength. Her relationship with Santiago is equally compelling, and the chemistry between the two actors is palpable – adding an additional layer of tension to the plot. The show’s cinematography is stunning, with an atmospheric quality that beautifully captures the grittiness and violence of the criminal underworld. The dark and moody cinematography is complemented by a haunting musical score that adds to the show’s immersive qualities. One of the strengths of The Cleaning Lady is the way it cleverly subverts expectations. At its core, the show is a crime thriller, but it also explores deeper themes around identity, conflicted loyalties, and the emotional cost of violence. The show constantly challenges the viewer’s moral compass, asking them to grapple with difficult questions around what is right and wrong, which is what makes it such a powerful and engaging watch. Overall, The Cleaning Lady is a superb crime thriller with a humanistic touch that makes it stand out from others in the genre. With brilliant performances, gorgeous cinematography, and a thrilling plot, it’s a must-watch for anyone looking for a gripping drama that offers both substance and style.
