What it is about
Kasia’s relationship is coming apart. Her boyfriend is unfaithful over and over, and as she copes with the damage, her mind keeps drifting to a man she knows is off-limits: her stepdad. The pull is all-consuming, and the synopsis leaves no doubt that it is tangling up every part of her life.
Why the length matters
Only 11 series on Candy go beyond five episodes, and this is one of them; the added length fits the premise well. A story about a relationship collapsing while an attraction builds is naturally a slow burn, and ten episodes give it space a five-parter could not. Her cheating boyfriend also hands Kasia a motive to look elsewhere, which makes her a more sympathetic lead than a character who simply gives in.
The drawback
What the synopsis describes is a state of mind, not a sequence of events. We learn how Kasia feels rather than what takes place, with nothing on how the stepdad reacts or whether anyone else discovers it. Stretched over ten episodes, that might mean a carefully paced build or plenty of repetition. Our explicitness scale has not rated it yet, so the payoff is unknown to us as well.
Free versus locked
You can watch episodes 1 and 2 free to size up the setup and Kasia’s predicament. The other eight episodes are locked, 12 tokens apiece. Candy’s only tag for it is Taboo.
The cost to finish
Eight locked episodes add up to 96 tokens, roughly $3.84 if you pay yearly, $8.64 quarterly and $13.44 monthly. That tops a five-parter’s 36, yet 96 tokens still fit within the 100 that one month of any plan includes, leaving 4 spare. Our breakdown of Candy’s plans walks through the options.
Should you commit?
- Yes, if you are after a longer taboo story with an emotional motive at its center and do not mind spending a whole month of tokens.
- No, if you would sooner sample two or three short series with the same tokens, or if a stepdad storyline is out of the question for you.
Other longer series
The only other 10-episode choice is Your girlfriend’s younger sister, also 96 tokens. Dad’s New Girlfriend is shorter, 6 episodes for 48 tokens. If you want a far bigger commitment, Mona’s Worst Enemy stretches to 15 episodes at 156 tokens. Every series length is listed in our full episode list.
The takeaway
Addicted to my stepdad gives a taboo premise more length and more feeling, anchored by a lead with a reason for her desire. Because the synopsis stays vague about events, use the two free episodes as a genuine tryout before you commit a month’s worth of tokens.
