Can the low ratings have something to do with the fact that the series centers around a Palestinian/Arab family? Of course it does. If you know you know. Watch it, great show, great acting. I have to write 600 characters, for it to be long enough. But that was the only thing I wanted to share. Are we there yet? 600? Watch it. It's good. Well acted. Watch it. 600 characters. That's a lot. But I'm gonna keep going. Palestine. Great acting. Love the scene in where the mother makes the olive oil. Great song while at it. 600 characters. Are we there yet? Mo is a good actor. Why does this show scores only a 7? It's obvious. It should get an 7.8-8.2. Are we there yet?
Entertaining, funny and real. I have seen Moe's standup show and I enjoyed it. I didn't really know what to expect when I started the series, without even noticing I was already in. It's very short! If there's one thing i'd complain about, I would've loved to see more. For some reason most stand-up comedians when they do fiction it's really bad. Not many comedians can do both stand up and fiction, Mo is officially now one of those few. Also this series gives a voice to a group of people that the world never really was able to empathize with since your voice is hardly heard, and to have that be entertaining in the same time I would call a great success.
Mo covers a lot of ground, making the political personal, vivid and wholly involving. Amer is a bewitching - I thought long and hard about that word and it's the right one - performer, who keeps tight and grounded what could sprawl. If he occasionally sucks up a little too much of the oxygen at others' expense, it's a price worth paying - especially if it gets corrected in what hopefully will be a second series.
He's at the centre of a strong cast filled with actors who are well known in Arab-language media and rising Arab American stars who are all as able as he is when it comes to negotiating the deeper, darker emotional, cultural and political waters the show ventures into.
Its compelling warmth, however, never leaves it. It is impossible not to become instantly invested in Mo's life and that of the rest of his family, to feel the petty humiliations inflicted on his brother Sameer at work, even if Sameer himself (who, it is suggested, is autistic) seems not to.
You will want to put a fist through the screen at several points on fiercely loving and frustrated Maria's behalf. All while laughing with them. It's a wonderful thing.

I really enjoyed Season 2 of "Mo" and watched it all in one go. The series is based on a true story, which makes it even more impactful. Mo Amer's acting is outstanding-he brings both humor and deep emotion to his role. The show feels real, heartfelt, and full of genuine moments that stay with you. The balance between comedy and drama is perfect, making it easy to connect with the characters and their struggles. Every episode kept me engaged, and the storytelling felt raw and honest. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a series that offers both laughs and meaningful insights while shedding light on real-life experiences.
Interesting view into something culturally different than I am used to. Great pacing, cinematography, and love the H town music influence. Dj screw, and the crews songs are placed nicely throughout the show.
Engaging plot with some pretty funny situations/scenes. Lot's of good actors and especially hats off to Mo.
Went into this with no knowledge of the plot and bo expectations. Really delivered on an enjoyable experience. Unique and flavorful. Highly recommend and hope it is renewed for a second season. Pretty real feeling situations. Believable.
Unique shows are hard to find and I wish Mo and his team all the best.
