Honeysuckle Weeks in Maxxx

The simple, short description of 'Maxxx' is that Maxxx is a former star of a popular boyband who longs for the life he once had before deciding to launch his solo career.

A somewhat more expansive way to describe the comedy is that it is a transgressive comedy, starring O-T Fagbenle, playing a washed-up former boyband member alongside a barely-recognisable Christopher Meloni as his former manager, a visual distillation of Tom Ford, George Michael and Clive Davis which still isn’t the most alarming part of the show. Funny, scabrous and fast Maxxx has the distinct air of a comedian making his name and there’s nothing Fagbenle won’t mine for laughs in this British version of – language alert – ‘cuntourage’.

I don't know what you think of this description, but you can be sure it's... different.

Honeysuckle Weeks will appear as Christy in the episode 'The House Party', where Maxxx and Tamzin get an exclusive invite to a party Don is throwing. Maxxx feels the pressure to engage in some questionable activities in order to catapult his solo career. With the place bursting full of industry celebs it's time for Team Maxxx to turn on the charm and land a record deal, which is a difficult task to uphold in Don's labyrinth of drugs, music and sex.

Is it just me or is the name of her personae Christy eerily akin to that of Agatha Christie?

Can't wait to see how Honeysuckle Weeks behaves in this supposedly wacky comedy.

Supposed to be aired on April 9, 2020, but postponed because of 'responding to our audience's evolving viewing habits'. Which probably should be translated as 'hardly anybody watched the first episode and those who did view it found it not remotely funny'.
