The series finale of Mo brings its titular character home to the West Bank
TV critic Saloni Gajjar talks about the final episode of the Netflix dramedy
Mo is a dramedy series created by the stand-up comedian Mo Amer. It premiered on Netflix in 2022.
The series ran for two seasons, and it's loosely based on Amer's life. Amer stars in it as himself — that is, a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Houston, Texas.
Given today's political climate, it's difficult to separate the realities of Gaza in 2025 from the fictional world of the show while watching the final episode of Mo, which is set in the West Bank.
Today on Commotion, TV critic Saloni Gajjar talks about the series finale of Mo, and why it was so powerful to see the titular character return to his homeland.
You can listen to the full discussion from today's show on CBC Listen or on our podcast, Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, available wherever you get your podcasts.
