Episode finder: reading the bars
The list above can be narrowed down to the series that suit you, and each entry carries a row of bars. Here is how to read them without reaching for a calculator.
Low bar: free episode. Tall bar: paid episode at list price.
What a row of bars tells you
Each series gets one bar per episode. Count them first, since the count decides everything else: five, six or seven are the only lengths noted so far. On all eight series, the first two places are free. Whatever follows is paid, at a list price of 12 tokens apiece. Treat a bar as a place in the ladder and nothing more. It will not tell you what happens in that episode, and we only hold a running time for the first one.
From bars to a bill
Remove the 2 free places, then multiply what is left by 12.
- Five bars: 3 paid, so 36 tokens. This is the largest group, with six series in it.
- Six bars: 4 paid, so 48 tokens, which applies only to Kiss My Enemy.
- Seven bars: 5 paid, so 60 tokens, which applies only to Isabella's Revelation.
Since those are list prices and a promotion may undercut them for a time, read the price shown on the day rather than trusting our sum.
Choosing by patience
If you want to know quickly whether a show is for you, sort out the opener first. My Wife's Dance Instructor asks for 48 seconds, and three more sit near the minute mark: Under the Chief at 60, Dragon Queen's Dark Desire at 61, My Neighbor Stopped Closing The Blinds at 62. We keep those together as quick starts. For a slower opening, My Girlfriend's Mom runs 73 seconds, Isabella's Revelation 81, Kiss My Enemy 83 and Trapped Desires: Island Swap 91, all gathered under the longer openers.
An order that avoids regret
Set your ceiling in tokens before anything else. If 36 is the limit, two series drop away at once and six remain, all with an identical bill, so price can no longer separate them. Opener length can, and after that the title is a fair guide to whether the premise interests you. Then stop choosing and start watching: the free pair will answer questions that no row of bars can, and it costs nothing to find out that you were wrong about a title.
