I'm an Arab-American who was born and raised in Sharpstown, so this show is relatable to me on more than one level. I grew up really close to the shopping center where he works on gessner and bellaire where high times is. I also personally know the guy who plays his dad, we used to play basketball together when we were kids. Mo's standup is hilarious. Other than the fact that I'm not Muslim, Mo's experiences and family stuff are incredibly similar to mine. Really hope we get a second season.

Houston is not fancy enough to get TV shows, so this is a bit of an anomaly. Good thing is, the show is pretty good. When people who know Houston can identify spots and say "yeah, that's pretty accurate," then it's a good show. I'm halfway through the first season. Hope it gets a season 2.
I'd be interested in what kind of ratings it's drawing from across the country.

Props to mayor Turner and Lina for bringing in this show.
Mo is gonna be at Houston Improv the 14th-16th of this month before he leaves on his nationwide tour.
Dammit! We will bebout of town. My wife really likes him and this would have been a perfect date night.

Are you old enough to go to bars now? My, time really does fly.swimmerbabe11 said:

*but seriously, no more commentary when we're discussing places we hung out at while you were in elementary school.
It's nice to finally watch a streaming show that's actually pretty well paced and only 30 minutes an episode. I've been watching about 2 a night. Got burned out on "slow burn" streaming shows that take 7 hours to introduce characters and set up the episode 8 cliffhanger that reveals nothing.jetch17 said:

The tunnel scene in episode 8 is a real tunnel at turkey bend off of navigation just east of downtown.
Not only am I old enough to go to bars, I don't even get carded anymore. I'm ten years older than my coworker in the office next to me.
You are SOOOO old.

Tine Til I Die and Leo-pointing-at-the-TV GIF and stuff like everyone else here, but one thing that I didn't see coming while watching this series was how newly invested I am in finding, using, and consuming really good olive oil. It's been my biggest and most impactful takeaway so far. Weird AF.
So I had never seen "Ramy" on Hulu but knowing Mo was in it I decided to give it a shot. Finished season 1 last night. Pretty good show. Believe its in its third season now.
would 1000% watch a video of him in an H-E-B trying every olive oil and rating it / explaining why it is or isn't good. Would probably donate to this video.
There is a very good likelihood that at some point today I go down a research rabbit hole on olive oil.

Not sure If it helps but this is the only olive oil my 100 year old Lebanese grandmother would use.

I NEED IT.
You can find it at Phoenicia
Ha, watching the olive oil episode, I could hear every Houstonian watching it go....
Wait...where is that olive farm?
Mo is also not wrong about finding good olive oil. Truly great olive oil is absolutely next level. Good olive oil and a little salt on piece of bread can be all you need to carry you away to a better place.

Agree 100% on the good quality olive oil. We've been buying this brand for a while now and it's a game changer. Kind of like the first time I had homemade mayonnaise or HEB vanilla ice cream as an adult. "WHAT IS THIS CRAP THEY'VE BEEN FEEDING US THIS WHOLE TIME?!!"

What was the "she foo" joke? Is that a reference to something from a 90s movie?
I thought it was a tine type joke like "****, fool"

It's not a good look right now, but there is going to be a lot of investment in the East End in the coming years. The Harris County Sheriff's office complex will set a lot into motion.
Found this on reddit. Someone made a map of all the locations they filmed at in Houston.
