In Love and Toxic: Blue Therapy

Five aspirational and diverse millennial couples enter a luxurious therapy setting to unpack their issues in intimate detail, reveal secrets, and make outrageous demands of each other in front of a relationship coach. They're smart, sassy, straight-talking and prepared to bare their souls in a last-ditch attempt to save their relationships. Nothing is off-limits as they delve into hot topics: race, gender roles, threesomes and money. As the sessions progress some issues resolve but further problems arise that will either make or break the young lovers as they ask, "Can we save this relationship, or have we hurt each other too much?". Each episode is a mix of intense confrontations, shocking revelations, and moments of both humour and heartbreak. Each couple is introduced by their backstory, giving an insight into their often extravagant lifestyles and we meet them as they embark on the first of their sessions, learn about what makes them tick, hear about their expectations and discover their nuances. The sessions take place in the safe space of the therapy room, situated in a luxurious countryside retreat. The two relationship coaches provide the backbone of the sessions. They're not just there to listen, but also to challenge, advise, support and try to get to the root of the problems. Bombshell after bombshell is dropped. We get to know each individual on a deeper level as we join them outside of their sessions, when they meet friends and family to discuss the trials and tribulations of therapy and the future of their relationships. But will their loved ones help, or drive a further wedge between the toxic lovers? As the sessions draw to a close, we discover if the couples in crisis have made it though - has getting to the core of their issues made them, or has it broken them? And finally, we find out how they're all doing 2 months later.
