What I liked

The cast was real life janitors. This gave it unmatched moral power.

What I didn't like

Nothing. I loved it.

My overall impression

I loved the show. As an immigrant, it was inspiring to see immigrant women janitors bring to life the real life struggles they face as they try to carve out a better future for themselves and their families. But this was not just a show- this was true life; this was the courage that I’ve seen janitors bring to the battle for their rights as workers and now for respect as women. It made me laugh; it made me cry to hear their words of the abuse they’ve encountered; and it made me rejoice to see them stand up and fight back.
