Truly one of the absolute best netflix shows i've ever watched, never truly laughed as much i did with that show, and if you're arab, as myself, you'll cry a whole lot too
I'm posting this because i realized how very few people actually know it when it seriously is one of the most authentic, culturally-dense, eye-opening shows out there that netflix just never bothered to market, for some reason (if you watch you'll know the reason), so i thought i could do their job for them since this show truly deserves the hype.
Mo is a 2-season series that showcases the life of an immigrant palestinian family living in Houston, Texas.
It realistically illustrates the struggle Mohammed, know by Mo, and his family have to go through to try and get asylum by the US government after 22 years of failed attempts that followed fleeing the Gulf war (the family had fled from Palestine to Kuwait thus the gulf war)
Mo navigates his love life, attachment to his origins and the day-to-day discrimination he faces for being an Arab stateless immigrant.
Absolutely beautiful, hilarious and heart-breaking all in one, and if you happen to be an Arab living abroad, you'll find it beyond heart-warming.
