Netflix fans demand third season of 100% mini-series that's left viewers 'laughing and crying'

Fans say the show is 'easy to digest'

A Netflix series hailed 'absolute perfection' by subscribers has left them wanting more.

The world's largest streaming service has thousands of titles available to stream, from Steven Spielberg's 'harrowing' piece of cinema to the fifth and final season of crime thriller You.

But chances are, this particular comedy-drama series might have series slipped under your radar.

Which is surprising, considering both of its seasons have earned 100 percent scores from Rotten Tomatoes critics.

And despite fans begging for more, unfortunately, its creator felt it was best to leave the show be after two season and 16 episodes.

Still, it's the ideal TV show to binge-watch - and will have you both 'laughing and crying,' according to viewers.

The show's first season, which premiered in August 2022, follows the life of a Palestinian refugee as he adjusts to moving to the US.

Its second instalment landed back in January.

Starring comedian and actor Mo Amer, the series is aptly titled MO.

Co-created by Poor Things' Ramy Youssef, it also stars Farah Bsieso, Teresa Ruiz and Tobe Nwigwe.

MO's synopsis reads: "Mo Najjar straddles the line between two cultures, three languages and a ton of foolishness as a Palestinian refugee constantly living one step away from asylum on the path to US citizenship."

It's loosely based on Amer's own life as a Palestinian refugee descendant living in Houston, Texas.

MO explores the toll of the US immigration system on families, as well as cultural identity crises.

And its blend of comedy and hard-hitting, real-life issues has struck a chord with both fans and critics.

"Absolute perfection! The MO show on Netflix is a MASTERCLASS in storytelling, comedy, and heart," one fan penned, adding: "Mohamed Amer's raw honesty, vulnerability, and humor had me laughing, crying, and nodding my head in solidarity."

A second wrote: "I binge-watched the entire [first] season in one sitting and can't wait for more! 10/10 would recommend."

A third reckoned: "Season one was brilliant, but the final episode of season two, was so relatable and no dry eyes in this house," while a fourth described it as 'easy to digest.'

Back in January, Amer confirmed why MO wouldn't be continuing for a third go.

He told Netflix Tudum: “I feel like season 2 fully fulfils what I wanted to do and accomplish."

However, in an interview with Vulture, he revealed he's 'open to potentially doing a third season'.

"It is such a difficult story for me to tell, emotionally," he explained "There’s so much more I want to do and accomplish, and I think there’s so much more to this story.

"But for now, here is where we have to leave it."

Both seasons of MO are streaming now on Netflix.
