How it begins
You are caught in a storm with nowhere to go, and the only shelter for miles is a remote chapel. The chapel houses two nuns who have spent years apart from the world, and their interest in the unexpected guest strays a long way from what their vows permit. Candy’s synopsis calls it some thoroughly unholy hospitality.
Two choices shape the series. The narration is second person, so you are the traveler and the viewer holds the lead role, not some named hero. And it is plainly meant to be fun: a forbidden-fruit fantasy served with a wink, not a serious story about faith.
A different kind of taboo
When Candy tags a series Taboo, family is almost always the reason: stepmothers, stepsisters, in-laws. The Nuns Took Me In finds its taboo elsewhere, in the clash between a religious calling and temptation, and that alone ranks it among the most distinctive titles under the tag.
The storm also keeps things tidy. Leaving is impossible, no one else is expected, and all five episodes can stay inside one lonely building. The downside of so lean a setup is that the synopsis has no second hook: the premise is what you are buying, and nothing hints at a twist beyond it.
The price after the free episodes
The two free episodes see you arrive at the chapel and settle whether the tone works for you. After them, three locked episodes at 12 tokens apiece bring the cost to 36 tokens. Expect to pay around $5.04 on a month-to-month plan, $3.24 if billed quarterly, or just $1.44 if you pay for a year up front. On our explicitness scale it scores 3 out of 5.
Who will enjoy it
- A good match for viewers who like stories told from their own point of view, remote settings and taboo that has nothing to do with family.
- Not a match if religious imagery played for laughs makes you uncomfortable, or if only a top explicitness rating will do.
Series to try next
If being stuck somewhere with temptation is the appeal, Got Stuck With My Girlfriend’s Stepmom, a standard-price five-parter, gets a 4 out of 5 from us. My Stepmom Needs A Plus One costs the same 36 tokens and pushes Taboo as far as it goes, sitting at the very top of our explicitness scale with 5 out of 5. For a famous face, there is My Stepmom’s Weekend, a 90-token performer series that also scores 5 out of 5.
The last word
There is really only one joke in The Nuns Took Me In, but it is a joke worth telling, and it steps away from the family-taboo plots that fill so much of Candy. Casting you as the traveler fits the fantasy, the cost is the standard one, and two free episodes are a quick way to see whether it works for you.
The Nuns Took Me In, briefly answered
What's the setup of The Nuns Took Me In?
Fleeing bad weather, you take refuge in a far-off chapel. Its two nuns have gone years without male company, and the hospitality they offer is anything but saintly. You see it all as the main character.
How many episodes are in The Nuns Took Me In?
Five. The first pair is free, and each of the other three needs 12 tokens to unlock, 36 tokens for the set.
How can I see the full series of The Nuns Took Me In?
Candy is the only place to see them, and the last three have to be unlocked there. Anything posted on other sites as the full series is usually just free episodes or trailers, as our page on leaked episodes sets out.
Is The Nuns Took Me In one of the family taboo series?
No. The Taboo tag is there, but here the forbidden element is the religious setting rather than a relative, which makes it the odd one out among series with that label.
