Co-created by Amer (who also stars) and Youssef, the comedy centers on a 30something Palestinian refugee trying to get by in Houston, Texas.
begins, Mo Najjar and his family — including Yusra , his devoted mother, and Sameer , his cat-loving big brother who seems to be on the spectrum — have spent 22 years in Houston waiting for their application for asylum to be approved after fleeing first Palestine, then Kuwait. At the moment, life is good enough, though not without its challenges: Mo’s status as what he calls a “refugee free agent” without citizenship in any country has him in limbo, allowed to remain in the U.S.
As might be expected from a series that bears his name, centers on a character named after him and is inspired by his own real-life experiences,ultimately lives or dies by Amer’s charisma, and fortunately he has it in spades. The onscreen Mo is a teddy bear of a dude with an easy smile and an admirable sense of protectiveness toward his friends and family.
In contrast to Mo’s nebulous legal status, or to the confusion that he keeps getting about his heritage — strangers frequently mistake Mo for Mexican, or assume Palestine is the same thing as Pakistan —is nothing if not specific about the cultures that have shaped its lead. Storylines follow Mo as he attends anwith his family, or sits around a hookah bar arguing about hummus with other Middle Eastern expats .
