| Mo |
Danger zone! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 24!
Our Top Pick tonight is the new comedy Mo (Netflix, 3 a.m.). The show stars comedian Mo Amer as Mo Najjar, a Palestinian refugee who goes to Houston with his family and struggles to adapt to life in America. I've always enjoyed Mo Amer's stand-up, and he was quite good as the cousin in Ramy. This show is loosely based on his real life experiences.
Elsewhere, Archer is still a show, the Paranormal arise from a burial ground, the Dogs go to a conference, Ollie searches for its home, Grown-ish pledges Gamma Psi Delta, HBO follows-up with Katrina Babies, and Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney get into football.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
