What does Ah Mou mean in English?

I've been watching a lot of Japanese shows and I've noticed the phrase "Ah Mou" being used frequently. Could someone please explain what it means in English? Thank you!

there’s no direct English translation but “aah” is like *sigh* or “ooh”, and “mou” means something like “already, anymore, or more” as in “a little bit more” as in amount or time.

so “aa, mou?” could mean “oh, already?” “hmm, now?” that’s the clearest i can explain it.

ああ、もう? is what it looks like when written in hiragana form.

ああ、もう!

It’s basically an expression of exasperation and/or regret. It may be used in a variety of different ways and I’ve seen it translated variously as “Oh!”, “Oh no!”, “Gee!”, and even “Alas!”
