Mo (prods. Mohammed Amer & Ramy Youssef).
Netflix’s family-based Palestinian-American comedy series inspired by Amer’s real-life experiences as a refugee seeking asylum in Houston after fleeing the first Gulf War in Kuwait is full of hustle. Featuring many colourful characters, the show finds humour in specific cultural details about Muslim and Arab life in Texas and the experience of desperation after reliving past trauma over and over again.
Being “stateless” and belonging nowhere reverberates within the series with rich explorations of the complexities of Islam and the Palestinian diaspora in today’s world. It’s a very fun show based squarely on family with more than a few dramatic thrills to its episodic unfolding.
