Synopsis

Bob Hearts Abishola (2019) is a CBS sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. Bob runs a compression-sock factory in Detroit and collapses from a heart attack in the middle of a bad work week. Recovering in cardiac care, he falls hard for Abishola, the nurse checking his charts — about two days of IV drips and he's smitten.

The catch: Abishola is a Nigerian immigrant and a single mother, working double shifts and not looking for romance with a patient. Bob courts her stubbornly and clumsily, while two loud families weigh in — his domineering mother and sister on one side, her aunt and uncle on the other, each sure they know what a proper marriage looks like. Billy Gardell plays the gentle lug, Folake Olowofoyeku the dry, guarded Abishola, and the gap between them powers the whole show.

Created by Chuck Lorre with comedian Gina Yashere, the series turns a standard multi-cam setup into a warm story about a culture clash that slowly pulls two people together. An easy, many-episode comfort watch with kindness instead of cynicism. Stream every episode of Bob Hearts Abishola online on iFILM.
