Mo Amer described his new Netflix series “Mo” as a “therapeutic” way to revisit his own family history.
The nerves were in the early writing stages, because it’s so personal. My father’s torture was real. That is something that happened to my dad, and you feel very vulnerable talking about something like that. The world, do they even want to hear it? Should we talk about it? It’s just scary — I don’t know how to describe it — whenever you’re sharing something from your own history and putting it out on a global platform.You mentioned earlier that there are a lot of storylines to balance here.
My brother named Sameer [his counterpart on the show]. I didn’t want him to have a character where he disliked the name. I had my mother name my fictional, on-screen mom. I made sure they were happy with the names, at least.“Mo” is set in Houston, where you’re from, and part of what I love about it is the natural interplay of different cultures. Tell me about your approach to grounding the show in reality that way.It was very simple: I had to film it in Houston for it to feel that way.
