A few years back, we looked forward to TMC every Friday on Red TV on YouTube. Oh, Aminu, the love of our lives, whom we shared kids with, took us on vacations, leaving us smiling from ear to ear; boy, did he make us fall in love with the idea of love. Directed by Tola Odunsi, TMC was first released in October 2018 on REDTV's YouTube channel. It has had 4 seasons, with some holiday special editions. The Men's Club revolves around four male main characters and how they relate with their partners through the ordeals that they face in their everyday lives.
