Mo Amer: Palestinian-American Sitcom Star Accidentally Too Relatable
Mo Amer's hit Netflix series Mo breaks sitcom clichés like a camel in rush hour. Featuring a 'fraught plot line about the American immigration system and the hope to return, at least for a visit, to his family's homeland,' Amer becomes the unlikely spokesperson for Palestinian-Americans — whether he signed up for it or not. ‘We talk to Mo Amer what it’s like to make a show so centered on the real facts of his own life,’ bringing eye-rolls, empathy, and rare laughs to streaming screens everywhere.

Watching Mo is like applying for a passport: slow, confusing, emotional, but at least it’s funny now.
