Mo - Kritiken

With its slice-of-life, vérité style that’s rooted in the sights and sounds of Mo’s actual Houston community, the series deftly stitches together the varied patchwork of what his American existence looks like.

...it is impossible not to become instantly invested in this warm, moving comedy.

We are instantly invested in his story, laughing at every joke and empathising when struck with tragedy.

...[tackler] tunge emner på en relaterbar måde i en muslimsk verden, som bygger broer i stedet for mure.

It’s a gorgeous, 40-minute ode to the West Bank, to Palestine, to olive trees and family and God, culture, heritage, and memory. Where we come from informs who we are each day and lives on in the back of our minds.

Mo Amer’s provocative yet sweet comedy, about an asylum seeker in the US, holds a mirror up to 21st-century America while delivering belly laughs at a regular clip.

Mo's world immediately feels fully realized.

...det er umuligt ikke at holde af den bombastiske mand med skægget og kasketten.

...[føles] som at sætte sig til bords med en familie: Man griner, man græder, man skændes, man forenes.
