That Lived-In Look

I love that when you enter the world of MO it feels like it's been on the air for years. This pilot isn't clunky or jammed with backstory. That background comes out when characters are pushed into a set up and How they react to it's payoff.

Even better are the family dynamics. They look and act like real-life people. Mo's mother is riddled with angst because she loves him so much. She's just in the wrong century. His odd brother and aunts.

What's even better is being set in a red state like Texas and embracing that.

Also the intersection of three languages is used so well to hide information at the right times.

Love this show - moving onto the second episode.
