ENO | Showmax Original | Starts 3 March, new episodes every Thursday
Abena Baafi is a single mother who is determined to meddle in her three daughters’ lives by steering them towards the path of rich suitors. However, her girls have a mind of their own and soon a mother’s dream becomes a daughter’s nightmare.
ENO is Ghana’s first Showmax Original title, now streaming on Showmax across Africa, and also available to subscribers in the UK.
Abena is played by Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice (AMVCAs) winner Gloria Osei-Sarfo (The Perfect Picture – Ten Years Later). According to Gloria, Abena had a very rough marriage and therefore had to raise three daughters on her own.
“Her singular obsession in life is to see her daughters well settled, and, most importantly, with rich men. It’s not a bad intention; the bottom line is that she wants the best for her daughters,” Gloria says.
Emelia Asiedu plays Tessa, of whom much is expected because she is the firstborn daughter. Esi Hammond plays Safowaa, perhaps the most stubborn of the girls, a bookworm who doesn’t shy away from flaunting her smarts even in front of those her mother reveres. Miss Malaika 2018 Mariam Owusu Poku plays the lastborn daughter, Kendall, a fashionista whose looks get her a lot of attention, much to the delight of her mother. According to Mariam, Kendall is also the one who’s most naturally like her mother, Abena.
Directed and produced by Sparrow Studios’ award-winning filmmakers Shirley Frimpong-Manso and Ken Attoh respectively, ENO also stars award-winning actor John Dumelo (The Perfect Picture, A Northern Affair), Godwin Namboh (Dede, 21 Days Inside), Peter Ritchie (Azali, Terminus), Brian Angels (Inspector Bediako, The Burial of Kojo), Michael Katahena (Sankofa), and newcomers Kabutey Ocansey, and Kelvin Sarpong Jr in supporting roles.

The show’s instantly lovable cast includes Nicole Byer (Nailed It) and Echo Kellum (Arrow’s Curtis Holt/Mr Terrific), while Garrett Morris (2 Broke Girls) narrates.
As The Mary Sue says, “The whip-smart comedy is one of the best new sitcoms on network television… During the pandemic, many viewers have been returning to their favourite comfort shows like The Office and Friends. Grand Crew is a welcome new entry into the genre and is hopefully on its way to becoming a new classic. So sit back, grab a glass of wine, and meet your new friends.”

Brave New World won Royal Television Society Awards for its costumes and visual effects, but be warned: unlike the book, the series isn’t going to make it into any high school syllabus. Brave New World carries an 18SN age restriction, with The Guardian suggesting that it should have been renamed Brave Nude World and adding, “Not since Game of Thrones have I seen so many nude scenes so happily, lavishly and gratuitously staged for our viewing pleasure.”

As TV Fanatic says, “Can you think of a show that better encapsulates the feeling of living in the disaster year that is 2020? … A Million Little Things is akin to Chicken Soup for the Soul…as if you were snuggling up with a warm blanket, eating comfort food, and spending time with beloved friends. In times like these, you learn to cherish any moment that gives you that feeling.”
