Fresh off a fight with his girlfriend Maria (Teresa Ruiz), worried sick for his mother, Yusra (Farah Bseiso), and in disbelief that his Palestinian refugee family might actually be getting the asylum they\u2019ve needed for so long, Mo\u2019s so overwhelmed and impatient that he can barely stay in his seat. As with most every episode of \u201cMo,\u201d Netflix\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> created by Amer and Ramy Youssef (\u201cRamy\u201d), the stakes are as high as Mo\u2019s escalating blood pressure. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But \u201cMo\u201d is also a comedy with a fast-talking lionheart at its center, and as such, even this incredibly stressful time can vibrate with frissons of the ridiculous. Mo tussles with a security guard who refuses to share his water when the vending machine breaks. Yusra, who\u2019s spent years waiting for this day, can\u2019t stop fixating on Mo\u2019s accusation that her giving Maria a cuff bracelet to hide her crucifix tattoo was not, in fact, an entirely altruistic act. Their flighty former lawyer (Cynthia Yelle) smugly parades her current client in front of their new lawyer (Lee Eddy), who\u2019s perfectly competent but im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely loses points for not being Palestinian.\u00a0Meanwhile, Mo\u2019s brother Sameer (Omar Elba) briefly goes missing to chase an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently rare finch. Even as they\u2019re all doing their best to keep themselves and their family in one piece, the show keeps finding ways to let\u00a0Mo and the rest of the Najjar family remain entirely themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Over eight half-hour episodes, \u201cMo\u201d drops us into Mo\u2019s life in Texas in the months before he gets to this hearing. Years after his family fled Kuwait, and unable to return home to Palestine, Mo\u2019s now an affable hustler selling designer replicas out of his trunk while juggling jobs that will look past his lack of U.S. citizenship.\u00a0Director Solvan \u201cSlick\u201d Naim finds a loose rhythm that swings between the Najjars and occasional flashbacks to Mo\u2019s childhood when Mo\u2019s father (Mohammad Hindi) was still alive\u00a0with lived-in ease. Shot on location in Houston, \u201cMo\u201d approaches every location \u2014 whether a boxing ring, s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> club, $6 million mansion, or bucolic olive grove \u2014 with the same possibility of a story waiting to be told.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Mo\u2019s devoted relationship to his family is immediately believable and clear, as is his breezy dynamic with best friend Nick (Tobe Nwigwe) and close bond with Maria (played with grounded charm by Ruiz). Even when the show throws Mo into deeper waters \u2014 particularly with local gangster Dante (Rafael Castillo) or accidental joyride to Mexico \u2014 his deeply relatable \u201chow the hell did I end up in all <em>this<\/em>?!\u201d reactions make him a solid guide through every surprising turn. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As most anyone who knows Mo well enough can tell, though, his ability to joke through any situation belies a sharp sadness he refuses to acknowledge to the point of the aforementioned sweaty meltdown.\u00a0Because, yes: \u201cMo\u201d might be a comedy, but it\u2019s still following the journey of a specific experience of unprocessed grief and trauma that follow refugees like the Najjars around their entire lives. That Mo still finds so many reasons to laugh anyway\u00a0is a credit to the show\u2019s ability to tell a truly nuanced story of a man, family, and Palestinian experience that television rarely acknowledges at all, let alone spotlights with half as much consideration and style as \u201cMo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>\u201cMo\u201d is now available to stream on Netflix.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
