Season 2 Review:
Its only fault – if there is one – is that it seems to end too soon, with loose ends still to tie up, and surely more screen time needed for unhinged patriot Hameed (Moayad Alnefaie). Still, if this is the final season after all, Mo at least leaves us with the feeling that all good meals do – full to the brim but still greedily eager for more.

Season 1 Review:
Like any good iteration, Mo takes its audience places the original [Ramy] didn't.. ... If you're expecting a series about a Palestinian refugee living in a U.S. border town to have its political moments, then Mo won't disappoint. Having said that, the show's greatest virtue may be that it rarely forgets that it's a fast-paced, breezy sitcom that doesn't linger too long on our conscience.

Season 2 Review:
Endearing, tender-hearted and quietly bingeable, this is the best possible riposte to Donald Trump’s worldview. It’s a comedy that reminds us that – whether we’re a jilted boyfriend, a worried parent or a stressed border guard – the one thing we all have in common is our humanity.
