<![CDATA[Among the winners at 2013 RTP awards ceremony was X.O.X.O., the dark horses grabbing the prize for best television series in a heavyweight category of familiar titles that have been around much longer. X.O.X.O., title inspired by a youth digital slang for hugs and kisses, is an urban-centred programme that stands out for its compelling themes and scenes as well as an array of beautiful young ladies.
From the creativity of accomplished writer/producer of the X.O.X.O. series, Edward Seddoh Jr, with an experienced crew led by ace director Eugene Kpakpo Addo and a cast of scintillating first timers at this level including the likes of Harold Amenyah, Pearl Darkey, Kayila Kedze-Kaditey, Tony Nkwocha and others in what has become a regular Saturday late afternoon delight on Viasat1, this programme has all the makings of a hugely competitive series with a massive following and discussions on social media.
In its third season since its inception about a year ago, the plot is untypically unpredictable and often inspired by feedback from viewers in the form of text messages on which direction they want the story to go, depending on dilemma questions asked at the end of each episode where viewers get to text X or O to MTN shortcode 1756.
Currently, the story mostly revolves around the central character, Josh (Harold Amenyah), the ladies’ man whose personal life is beginning to take a toll on his working life and is on the verge of losing everything, thanks to a plan hatched by two aggrieved guys working in the shadows, both of whom not only consider Josh a threat to their own personal relationships, past and present, but would also publicly label him as one of Accra’s Baddest Boys in an online publication.
X.O.X.O., produced by FINESSE-LXG STUDIOS, shows every Saturday on Viasat1 at 5.30 pm and is sponsored by MTN with support from Schweppes Malt and No Yawa.
