The story so far
Bad weather forces you off the road, and the nearest refuge is a chapel far from anywhere. Two nuns live there, long isolated from the outside world, and their curiosity about the surprise visitor goes well beyond anything their vows would allow. Candy pitches it as hospitality of a thoroughly unholy sort.
A couple of details stand out. One is the second-person narration: you play the traveler, so the viewer takes the lead instead of watching a named character. The other is the openly playful tone. Think of it as a forbidden-fruit fantasy delivered with a wink, not an earnest drama about faith.
Why it stands apart
On Candy, a Taboo tag nearly always points to family: stepmothers, stepsisters, in-laws. The Nuns Took Me In draws its taboo from a completely different source, religious life colliding with temptation. That by itself makes it one of the most distinctive titles carrying the tag.
Being stranded by a storm is an economical setup, too. No one can go, no one else will arrive, and the entire series can unfold in one secluded spot. The flip side is that the synopsis gives no second hook, so the premise is the whole draw and a twist beyond it looks unlikely.
Free episodes and price
Episodes 1 and 2 cost nothing to watch; they cover your arrival at the chapel and show whether the tone suits you. Each of the three locked episodes is 12 tokens, so finishing takes 36 tokens, which a yearly Candy plan brings to roughly $1.44, a quarterly one to $3.24 and a monthly one to $5.04. It lands at 3 out of 5 on our explicitness scale.
Who it is for
- Go for it if you enjoy point-of-view stories, cut-off settings and taboo themes with no family angle.
- Give it a miss if playful use of religious imagery bothers you, or if you want the top explicitness rating we give.
Other series to consider
Fans of the stranded-with-temptation idea can try Got Stuck With My Girlfriend’s Stepmom, a standard five-parter we rate 4 out of 5. My Stepmom Needs A Plus One costs the same and takes the Taboo tag to its most explicit, earning 5 out of 5 from us. And for a well-known face, My Stepmom’s Weekend is a performer series costing 90 tokens, likewise rated 5 out of 5.
Verdict
The Nuns Took Me In rests on a single joke, but the joke is a good one, and it offers a real break from the family-taboo stories that crowd Candy. The second-person angle suits the fantasy, it costs the usual amount, and a couple of free episodes quickly show whether it works for you.
