The premise
Kasia’s relationship is on its last legs, and her boyfriend’s betrayals never seem to stop. While she absorbs the hurt, her thoughts keep wandering to the one man she knows she shouldn’t want: her stepdad. The synopsis makes plain that this attraction has taken over her mind and is making a mess of everything around her.
What the extra length buys
Addicted to my stepdad belongs to a small club, the 11 Candy series that run past five episodes, and this premise benefits from the length. A story of a relationship unraveling while a forbidden pull grows is a slow burn almost by necessity, and ten episodes supply the breathing room a five-parter lacks. The unfaithful boyfriend earns his place too: he gives Kasia a real reason to look beyond him, so she is easier to root for than a lead who simply caves.
The weak spot
The synopsis sketches a mood more than a plot. You find out how Kasia feels but not what actually happens; the stepdad’s side goes unmentioned, and so does whether anyone else catches on. Across ten episodes, this could add up to a patient build or a lot of treading water. It is not rated yet for explicitness on our scale, either, so the payoff remains a question mark.
What’s free, what’s locked
Episodes 1 and 2 come free, which is enough to weigh the setup and the bind Kasia is in. Everything after that is locked, eight episodes at 12 tokens each. Taboo is the only tag Candy gives it.
Cost of the full run
The eight locked episodes total 96 tokens, which in dollars is roughly $3.84 for yearly subscribers, $8.64 for quarterly ones and $13.44 for monthly ones. Well past a five-parter’s 36, the total still squeezes into the 100 tokens every plan includes each month, with 4 to spare. Our comparison of Candy’s plans lays out each option.
Should you commit?
- Yes, if a longer taboo story that carries some emotional weight appeals to you and you’re fine putting a full month of tokens into it.
- No, if you’d rather spread the same tokens across two or three short series, or if a stepdad plot is off the table for you.
Longer series to compare
Your girlfriend’s younger sister is the one other title with 10 episodes, also at 96 tokens. Dad’s New Girlfriend is a shorter pick at 48 tokens for 6 episodes. If you want something far longer, Mona’s Worst Enemy runs to 15 episodes and 156 tokens. Our complete list of episodes gives the length of every series.
The bottom line
Addicted to my stepdad brings extra length and extra feeling to a taboo setup, built around a lead with an actual reason for what she wants. The synopsis is thin on events, though, so give the two free episodes a fair trial before a month’s worth of tokens goes in.
