Mo

Chinese immigrant here. I love the show so much that I signed up for IMDB to write this review. My husband, an eastern European immigrant, likes the show too.

Mo, you are great, but Maria's acting is phenomenal. The show has just the right amount of everything for a good drama. East Asian director, learn a thing or two from this show, PLEASE! But... I wonder if a Palestinian immigrant who watches the show may have the same feeling as when I watch the TV show fresh off the boat. The storyline is that we can't become lawyers and doctors, so we started to sell yummy dumplings. That's okay!

Anyway, keep up the excellent work! I am waiting for season two.

The negative reviews are little more than religious policing. The one star reviews for Mo are the same one star 'blasphemy' reviews you'll find on The Life of Brian. While Mo isn't a satire - it doesn't mock religion - it works as a comedy because it's about a story of ridiculous contradictions and the distinctly familiar, muddling human attempts to make sense of it all and survive.

99% of the bellyaching reviews are critical of the characters not being Muslim enough, the situations not being true to scripture and strict observance of Islam.

But is this not demonstrably true of most religious people today? Most Abrahamic religions do not adhere to ultra orthodoxy, most seek a modern sensibility because dogma denies the personal purposes of faith. I don't need anachronistic dogma to legitimise my beliefs, in fact I blame it for a lot of problems.

Mo is realistic, modern and deeply funny series that is first and foremost about people. It works because it's about experiences we share as humans regardless of - or because of - politics or religion. It works because it gives a perspective we don't often see but with a humanity that we very much understand.

The direction is brilliant, and the pacing keeps you engaged. The dialogues are authentic and relatable, mixing humor with heartfelt moments. The cast delivers phenomenal performances, making you root for their characters. I love how it tackles important themes while maintaining a lightness that makes it accessible. It's a shame if people miss out on such a well-crafted story. "Mo" is not just a series; it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression. It truly deserves all the love and recognition! G "Mo," and it's one of the best dramas I've seen! The direction is brilliant, and the pacing keeps you engaged. The dialogues are authentic and relatable, mixing humor with heartfelt moments.

Entertaining, funny and real. I have seen Moe's standup show and I enjoyed it. I didn't really know what to expect when I started the series, without even noticing I was already in. It's very short! If there's one thing i'd complain about, I would've loved to see more. For some reason most stand-up comedians when they do fiction it's really bad. Not many comedians can do both stand up and fiction, Mo is officially now one of those few. Also this series gives a voice to a group of people that the world never really was able to empathize with since your voice is hardly heard, and to have that be entertaining in the same time I would call a great success.

Interesting view into something culturally different than I am used to. Great pacing, cinematography, and love the H town music influence. Dj screw, and the crews songs are placed nicely throughout the show.

Engaging plot with some pretty funny situations/scenes. Lot's of good actors and especially hats off to Mo.

Went into this with no knowledge of the plot and bo expectations. Really delivered on an enjoyable experience. Unique and flavorful. Highly recommend and hope it is renewed for a second season. Pretty real feeling situations. Believable.

Unique shows are hard to find and I wish Mo and his team all the best.
