There’s always pressure to deliver on the person who creates and stars in a TV show. But in the case of Mo Amer — the co-creator, star and showrunner of the Peabody Award-winning Netflix series, “Mo” — there is an added burden most will never bear.
And that is, as Amer explained in our Salon Talks, “Mo,” co-created by Golden Globe winner Ramy Youssef, is “the only Palestinian show on American television that is run, produced and created by a Palestinian.” He added, “the intensity of that” is part of the fuel that drove him to “put every fiber of my being into” the second season, available now on Netflix.
