    We’re a blended Polynesian and Arab family….the show is so relatable for us. We laughed and cried and reminisced on how we met and despite being raised differently in faith, education, social status we share strong family roots and values. There better be a season two!

    Mo... You hit it out of the park! and then some! Hilarious and relatable. As an immigrant who went through similar struggles, I laughed and cried watching the 8 part series. His faith and love for his family is priceless and keeping hope at the time of hopelessness and searching for the non existent light at the end of tunnel. Mo's facial expression when he sees a "dog with the passport" tells you every immigrant's story. A dog has what a human cannot have.. irony of life!! Excited to see what season 2 brings!

      If one of your ancestors is from Spain, than most Andalusian took the chance to flee that area when they had the chance, and probably you're an Umayyad too, they were smart and brave branch of the Arabs, hated by their enemies

      Los españoles no son árabes. Los árabes y los católicos de aquella época no se mezclaban porque tenían guerras de odio mutuo desde la época de los templarios estuvieron luchando en tierra Santa para expulsar a los musulmanes y no dejaron de hacerlo nunca. Conquistaron España y Portugal para gobernar y expandir el islam rn paises catolicos. No para crear un mestizaje con católicos eso no lo podían concebir hace siglos, no es como hoy en día que uno se convierte a otra religión y ya.. para los musulmanes los judíos y católicos eran los infieles, el enemigo y era recíproco.. Estamos hablando de un odio inmenso, los musulmanes en sus leyes de la Shaíra no se podían unir a los católicos ni judíos y los católicos y judíos tampoco, ademas que para los católicos de aquella época apostatar para convertirte al islam estaba penado con la muerte. Todos los habitantes de países del Mediterráneo tienen un aspecto similar no por estar emparentados es que el ser humano evoluciona adaptándose al medio donde vive y así son en el Mediterráneo. A usted lo confunden con árabe porque será barbudo como todos los del Mediterráneo y por nuestros antepasados indígenas será prietito y si junta esas dos cosas pues parece árabe. Los descendientes de los árabes tenían que ser musulmanes por ley, no católicos, con apellidos árabes, y no castellanos,
