Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and interpret the relationship between signifier and signified in verbal and visual aspects on posters, trailers, and scenes of the Netflix series XO, Kitty. The research method used by the researcher was descriptive qualitative analysis with a semiotic approach.
