If you’re looking for a romantic comedy that you can watch at home, this Showmax production, which debuted on February 12, 2024, is a nice choice.
The Counselor chronicles the lives of Aisha (Teniola Aladese) and Gbenro (David Eyo), a couple who are recovering from “breakfasts” that their lovers gave them right before Valentine’s Day. Reluctantly, they find themselves thrown together on a non-refundable vacation retreat that was initially scheduled with their ex-partners.
The drama doesn’t end there, though, as Gbenro’s mother—a marital counselor—demands that they attend couples counseling before she will give her blessings.
