Review: Produced by Luti Fagbenle and Andy Amadi of Luti Media, the series delves into the lives of young, outgoing couples as they embark on relationship therapy sessions. With a blend of unique and universal issues faced by couples today, "Blue Therapy" offers entertaining and revealing insights into conflicts surrounding money, trust, and sex, all unfolding within the four walls of the therapy room.
The format of the series revolves around five young, diverse, and aspirational couples who explore their relationships through therapy sessions. Set in a country house, these couples engage with relationship coaches to confront conflicts tied to various topics such as race and interracial relationships, social class, children, careers, and gender role expectations.
Originally launched as a six-part reality show on YouTube in 2021, "Blue Therapy" quickly gained online popularity, amassing millions of views across multiple territories.
The series presents the couples in candid discussions about their difficulties while the therapist aims to mediate and help them overcome their differences, fostering growth within their relationships. However, the challenges go beyond what meets the eye, with unreasonable arguments, unwillingness to compromise, and unrealistic expectations making the process even more demanding. Throughout the series, viewers are exposed to verbal clashes, cutting comments, and shocking moments that provide an added layer of intrigue and tension, even for the therapists themselves. While tackling serious relationship topics, the show also balances its tone with humour and viral moments, offering a dynamic viewing experience.
Rachel Job, SVP Non-Scripted Content at All3Media International, has commended "Blue Therapy" as an innovative and trailblazing couples therapy series. She highlights its ability to immerse viewers in the lives and relationships of culturally diverse couples, revitalizing the topic of dating. For this reason, the series stands out as a platform for underrepresented voices and cultures that are rarely portrayed on screen, particularly within the realm of reality television.
