Maxxx review - can a tired hasbeen take on the charts?

After several false starts, O-T Fagbenle's satirical comedy finally arrives to shine new light on to the well-worn topic of celebrity excess and post-fame blues.

Maxxx review

O-T Fagbenle delivered a hilarious send-up of the bloated celebrity ego in Maxxx (E4), the sitcom he wrote and stars in, about a washed-up boy band singer trying to revive his career after years of self-indulgent excess.

O-T Fagbenle is on career-defining form as washed-up former boyband member Maxxx, looking to relaunch his career and win back the affections of his ex-girlfriend, the supermodel Jourdan Dunn, in this new comedy series. Reduced to playing grimy nightclub PAs after destroying his early 2000s R&B group with his drug-fuelled antics, Maxxx is determined to get his life back on track and support his adopted son Amit - but first he has to convince a public who largely think he's either dead or a Craig David lookalike.
