#COVID-19 CATCH UP TV - Maxxx

Maxxx is my latest binge. Like Betty from yesterday it's an six 21-25 minute episodes. Super easy, super brief. The series resolves around a formerly famous boyband star turned drug-shamed tabloid laughing stock. Maxxx played by The Handmaid's Tale's Luke,  O. T. Fagbenle is exceptional in. a very different role to the Hulu's screen adaption of Margaret Atwood's novel.

The cast has a mix match of crazy players alongside O. T. Fagbenle from his famous supermodel ex-girlfriend to his adopted teenage son, Amit, who falls in love with the gender neutral son of his new manager. Alongside his immediate family there is his cousin-slash-superfan-slash-stalker Rose and Tamzin, with her dreams of becoming an internationally respected manager despite being extremely amateur.

Does this show ring true for guys (or ladies for that matter) after they leave their respective groups? Could the Backstreet Boys or NKOTB be this dysfunctional? I reckon yes.

Showcasing the outrageous, rude and peek behind the pop world's curtain at the drugs, sex, insecurity and fragile narcissism of those who were once on top of their game, now, not so much.

As my blog now celebrates over 200 posts for a year where everything has gone rather south, at least there is still some TV on the radar to catch up. Coming up soon, how confused did I get with Raised by Wolves on HBO Max and a few US major shows like Station 19 and The Blacklist return later this week...

Until next time, boy bye.
