New on Netflix: Mo

Comedian Mo Amer’s new show, Mo, co-created with Ramy Youssef, is a semi-autobiographical look into the experience of people who resettle here after being forcibly displaced, per Leila Fadel and Phil Harrell of NPR. Set in the suburb of Houston where Amer grew up, the show follows the life of an asylum seeker “in immigration limbo” and reveals “the comedy and tragedy in his family’s tale.” Said Amer, “Millions of people are going to relate to this and it can empower them to better their lives. And also people who didn’t go through it can relate to it and have empathy for it.”
