The series "Mo" follows the life of Mohammed Najjar, a Palestinian man living in Houston who uses his charm and persuasion skills to navigate various challenges. The story begins with Mo selling fake designer goods from his car while dealing with the weight of a longstanding asylum case that limits his opportunities. Flashbacks reveal his family's traumatic history of displacement, paralleling with co-creator Mohammed Amer's own life experiences. While Mo maintains relationships and humor, the pressing issue of his legal status remains a poignant theme throughout the show's narrative.
Despite their outward differences, he's an easy mark for Mo, a heavyset Palestinian dude who can commiserate about back pain in a Texas twang.
Mo knows he can cajole, disarm, persuade. His quick thinking has been an asset to his family since his childhood.
The greatest encumbrance in his life - his asylum case, which has been pending for more than two decades, preventing him from finding legal work.
Season 1 of 'Mo' debuted in the summer of 2022, borrowing freely from the biography and family history of its co-creator and star, the comic Mohammed Amer.
