First episode length / Longer openers
Longer openers
Long is relative here: these first episodes last between 73 and 91 seconds, which is still shorter than most queues, but gives a premise a little more room to settle.
First episode, in seconds
The slower starts, and their bills
Unlike the shorter shelf, this group does not share one total, so the running time and the final price are worth reading together. Every figure below refers to episode 1 only, the single episode we timed.
- My Girlfriend's Mom, 73 seconds: 36 tokens to finish.
- Isabella's Revelation, 81 seconds: 60 tokens to finish.
- Kiss My Enemy, 83 seconds: 48 tokens to finish.
- Trapped Desires: Island Swap, 91 seconds: 36 tokens to finish.
Run together, the four openers take 328 seconds, which is a little under six minutes of free viewing, before you count any of the second episodes.
A longer start is not a longer series
The obvious assumption fails on inspection. The longest opener here, at 91 seconds, belongs to a five episode series, while the seven episode title starts ten seconds sooner. So use the clock to judge pacing, and use the episode count to judge cost. They are separate columns in our ledger, and one does not predict the other.
All four give you two free episodes and then charge 12 tokens per episode at list price, though promotions can lower it for a while, so check the current price. If what you want is the quickest possible taste, the one minute shelf will serve you better. If you want to plan the spending first, our page on finishing costs sets out the three totals and how each one is reached, without any guesswork about what the later episodes contain.
