What follows is one of the most poignant scenes of Mo Season 2, the latest instalment of the Netflix comedy series, which follows the lives of a Palestinian refugee family navigating the complexities of life while awaiting asylum in the U.S.
In what might be one of the best series finales of 2025, the show takes viewers to the West Bank in Palestine, showing the family finally reconnecting with their roots after 20 years of grappling with America’s immigration system.
Season two, which dropped on January 30, doubles down on the absurdity of immigration bureaucracy but also takes on even heavier cultural weight amid the background of Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestine, as well as increasing hostility toward undocumented migrants in the U.S.
It’s a moment that feels too real — highlighting the grief and helplessness felt by many in the Palestinian diaspora but also many more who have watched the tragedy unfold on their social media feeds in the last year and a half.
Co-created by comedians Amer and Ramy Youseff, Mo is a semi-autobiographical series and the only one that puts a Palestinian family front and centre.
