Mohammed “Mo” Amer is no stranger to a national audience. Between solo comedy tours, his Netflix stand-up specials The Vagabond and Mohammed in Texas, and a role in Ramy Youssef’s award-winning Hulu comedy series, Ramy, Amer has been around, often drawing from his own life as a Kuwaiti refugee growing up in the Alief neighborhood, on the west side of Houston. It’s no surprise, then, that his show, Mo, a scripted dramedy series that premiered August 24 on Netflix, pulls from the same well, with more than a little bit of Houston in the scenery.
