Mo watchseries. Can the low ratings have something to do with the fact that the series centers around a Palestinian/Arab family? Of course it does. If you know you know. Watch it, great show, great acting. I have to write 600 characters, for it to be long enough. But that was the only thing I wanted to share. Are we there yet? 600? Watch it. It's good. Well acted. Watch it. 600 characters. That's a lot. But I'm gonna keep going. Palestine. Great acting. Love the scene in where the mother makes the olive oil. Great song while at it. 600 characters. Are we there yet? Mo is a good actor. Why does this show scores only a 7? It's obvious. It should get an 7.8-8.2. Are we there yet?

Truly trulyyyyyy loved this show! It's both funny and realistic! Keep it up Mo! We love what you're doing!! The acting, the small jokes, everything is just to perfection! We want more of you and we want more Palestinians on Netflix, or Television in general! Keep it up! And by the way my parents know you and your family from Ahmadi, they are super super proud of you.

Palestinians everywhere are proud of you!

Even if this weren't based in my home town, I would have loved this show. It's just an added bonus to get all the Houston in-jokes and location spots.

Finally, a show that does not sugarcoat the reality of many people who struggle throughout their lives to fit in, chase a dream, show their perspective on the constant challenges throughout the show, the reality, is this will make you laugh, cry and feel happy that evolution of different cultures can be displayed, with no warrant of aggression, but showing a case of love and unity while hoping not to be causing too much criticism from extremist groups. I am excited to see the new up-and-coming season and hope that more networks would learn from what Netflix does right!

This show seriously exceeded my expectations. For some reason, I expected the usual stereotypes and cringe-inducing humor that comes at the price of Arab-American dignity BUT instead found a brilliant, funny, poignant human story told with grace and subtlety. So many laugh-out-loud moments (Sameer is the breakout comic star for me!) alternating with heartbreaking sob-caught-in-my mouth moments. Although I'm not Palestinian, I am Arab, so I found the depictions of music, family, culture, identity powerful and deeply resonant - I'm curious to know if non-Arab audiences will feel the same heart-strings tugged? Either way, I'm convinced there's something in this show for everyone. Pure genius. Bring on Season 2 Ba'a!!
