Mo, Season 2

One of 2022's most important TV shows, comedian Mo Amer's excellent Netflix series Mo has returned for its second and final season. Created by Amer with Ramy Youssef, Season 2 picks up with Mo Najjar (Amer, playing a version of himself), a Palestinian refugee living in the U.S. who accidentally deported himself to Mexico without a passport last season (those olive trees!). Mo's struggle to get back to the U.S. is a timely depiction, taking him through an unfeeling embassy, a dangerous border crossing, and a horrendous detention facility on the Texas border — and that's all before he learns the love of his life, Maria (Teresa Ruiz), is seeing someone else back home. But somehow, beyond all belief, Mo finds levity in the dark. More timely than ever, Mo examines both the institutional dehumanisation of immigrants and the varied experiences of his Palestinian family — all while being a hilarious, superbly written comedy show about a guy just trying to succeed. — S.C.
