Why is no one talking about this show?! It depicts the reality of the many struggles, set backs, and strong cultural identities faced by Mo, an Arab-american. I love that this show is equally funny and light as it is deeply telling of how exceptionally challenging it is to seek asylum in this country. When shows like Mo highlight a marginalized experience that the media has frankly white washed, filtered, or chooses not to invest in at all does is it lets these characters and their multi-faceted stories take full shape so we, the audience, can recognize these people for more than what short sound bites the media dilutes them to be.

Beautiful story visually and emotionally

Wow this movie is phenomenal. Crazy acting chops from the leads and everyone involved. Twisted, complicated, unpredictable story where your siding with the main character flip flops towards the middle. Great irony at play throughout. And shoutout to the casting director because the attention to diversity in casting everyone was noticed and loved!

so good. laughed out loud and really unpredictable plots

One of the best shows I've ever seen. The writing is so brilliantly witty, the characters embody so much dimension, and grow so much throughout the season. Very impressive balance of how the show achieves introducing each character, allowing the audience to see each character's flaws/shortcomings, and building off of that where each character benefits from the relationship of each other. Love it. Season 2, waiting for you.

Such a good movie ! The twists and storyline were so unpredictable but really added to the depth and unique package of the movie. Will definitely be watching this next year

Let’s talk about the diversity in these characters! From socioeconomic background to ethnicity, this show was intentional with casting these characters to not be stereotypes, but instead have dimension. I loved that the most. The script is incredibly written to show the honest truth in what it’s like to be in poverty, sure, but also the reality of how your circumstances can be anchoring and preventing you to seek out new heights. Alex is diligent, responsible, stoic, and incredibly lonely throughout being the most sensible between her coworkers, mom, and ex. Even through her courage and plans to climb out of poverty for herself and daughter, she is met with resistance and obstacles beyond her control between her in denial mother, the government’s strict limits on aid, and her relentless ex. It is not as simple as a capitalistic society claims to climb out and stay out of poverty. The truth is, people are born in less than fortunate environments that don’t set them up for success. This show inspired me to have more compassion and see the impacts of the wealth gap in our society

Ahh!! Great movie with stunning fight scenes, something I wouldn't describe fight scenes as, but the action is very artistically thought out. The characters have depth and grow within the movie. The laughs and heart are in this movie and I definitely had my jaw dropped through the last battle scene. Simu Liu you killed it and so happy this movie highlights the talent and dedication in the asian community! The martial arts in this movie is astounding.

If you were never into politics before, watch one episode of this show and you will be engaged. Hasan delivers a lot of depth into one topic and allows the audience to take it all in with jokes to break the seriousness of the content. This political comedy show delivers what others can't and that is Hasan's charismatic storytelling.
