Andrew Male The Times (UK) 10/24/2022
Neither worthy nor sentimental, at its core this is a show about love, friendship and family... Go to Full Review Proma Khosla IndieWire 10/18/2022
Somehow, “Mo” manages to be a family comedy, a romance, and occasionally a crime drama without compromising or switching tone. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone 09/30/2022
Assuming Netflix orders more seasons of this excellent new show, it’s not hard to imagine Mo experimenting more with spotlight episodes down the road. Go to Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) 11/15/2022

Very funny and also eye-opening. Go to Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye 10/14/2022
Amer handles the weight of being another first with laudable aplomb and pathos, transposing the unique Palestinian pains with a carefully calculated mix of anger and dignity – a balance that is arguably the show’s strongest asset. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

EM L Nov 17 From beginning to end, hilarious and moving. A must see :) See more R D Oct 24 The show is pretty boring, and the plot around the olive oil is not well thought out. Its a dramady with very little comedy, if you are a "river to the sea person", then you will love it because of your politics, not because it is actually good. Critics are wrong with the 100, which should tell you this show is all about politics over substance. See more Esra Y Jul 17 It's bittersweet, nuanced, depthful without leaving the cute, warm moments out. Episode 7 & 8 as far as i'm concerned are masterpiece. See more Be S @besimple May 27 A deceptively light looking show that is quite profound. See more Natalie P Apr 23 Such a beautiful, empathetic take on the world we live in right now. And hilarious on top of that. I had to come to review this show as it's meant a lot to me. See more Ryan K Apr 10 Heartwarming and disarming. Funny and quirky. A deep and meaningful TV show that your friends and family should watch. See more Read all reviews
