Payback drives it all
Sienna’s boyfriend has left her for someone else, and she has no intention of moving on quietly. Her idea of payback is his father, a silver fox she can’t keep her eyes off, and seducing him becomes the plan. Word of the affair gets out fast, turning it into open warfare across the family, and every flare-up drags another buried secret into view.
Smarter than it sounds
The title reads like a one-line gag, yet the synopsis promises more than that. Wanting revenge makes Sienna the one steering events, rather than a character things simply happen to. Her affair is aimed at someone, too: the man who left her, with his own father turned into the weapon. Add a family at war and secrets coming loose, and the story looks set to carry actual consequences instead of stopping at a setup.
It also inverts Candy’s usual angle. Most of the catalogue’s taboo series put a younger man with an older woman; here a woman leads and the older partner is a man, a combination Candy offers far less often.
What five episodes may not fit
Five short episodes is not much room for a full family war. Expect the consequences to arrive in a rush rather than build slowly, and the secrets may stay sketchy. The synopsis never mentions the woman Sienna was dumped for either, a hint that the ex’s side of things could end up thin.
Price, free episodes and a rating still to come
Episodes 1 and 2, both free, cover the breakup and the start of Sienna’s scheme. It has no score on our explicitness scale yet, and its lone Candy tag is Taboo. The three locked episodes are 12 tokens apiece, so the whole run costs 36 tokens. Yearly subscribers are looking at roughly $1.44 for that, quarterly ones at $3.24 and monthly ones at $5.04.
The right viewer for it
It rewards viewers who like revenge stories, a heroine with a plan and an affair tangled up in family drama. If what you want is the classic stepmom setup, the series listed below will serve you better.
Other taboo series, and how they differ
Most taboo titles on Candy revolve around an older woman. My Stepmom Needs A Plus One carries our 5 out of 5 rating, Got Stuck With My Girlfriend’s Stepmom and My Bachelor Gift was My Fiancée’s Mom both land at 4 out of 5, and all three cost 36 tokens. My Ex’s Hot Dad is the pick when you would rather see the roles reversed.
Final word
My Ex’s Hot Dad hides a decent amount of story behind a disposable title: a scorned woman with a reason, an affair engineered to cause pain and a family that splinters as a result. The synopsis hints at more than five episodes can deliver, yet at 36 tokens it is a clever change of pace for anyone who has had enough of stepmom setups.

Does My Ex's Hot Dad belong with the stepmom series?
No. It reverses that formula by making Sienna, a woman, the lead and putting her ex’s father in the older partner’s role. Its only Candy tag is Taboo, and it is still waiting for an explicitness rating from us.
