What is on the bench

Fourteen series have been through the shop so far. Thirteen run five episodes and one runs thirty, and each of them opens with two free episodes before charging twelve tokens per paid one. The spec library lists every title in a single table. Once the specs stop being the deciding factor, you are left with the question that matters, which is whether a given premise deserves your evening. Each sheet says what the setup is, how it paces itself, and who should probably skip it. Candy.ai does not run this site, and nobody here is grading on a curve to please it.

Three ways into the catalog

  • By genre: sort by setup, from household rules that keep getting tested to elven courts and a queen's guard who is in serious trouble.
  • By mood: the mood shelves sort by how a series feels to watch, whether you want to wait, be led, relax or guess.
  • By order: if you would rather be told, the starting order gives you five titles in sequence, with a reason for each one.

None of these routes is the correct one. They are the same catalog viewed from three angles.

A few sheets worth opening first

For scale, try Yes Ma'Am, the one long drama here, in which a commanding officer takes a low-ranking recruit under her wing while married to the Colonel above them both. For a mystery with a short fuse, Room 742 begins with a keycard that opens the wrong door and a wife who seems unsurprised. For fantasy, Trespasser of the Sunken Court catches a thief inside an elven realm and declines to execute him. For something gentler, Under Her Armor follows an office worker who finds out what his quiet coworker does online. Four very different pitches, with an identical price per paid episode.

How to use this without overthinking it

Pick a shelf, read one sheet, then watch the free episodes. That is the entire method, and it is the same one the desk uses. A premise that sounds clever on paper can still drag on screen, and only the openers will tell you. If the second free episode leaves you curious, the remaining three cost a known number of tokens. If it does not, close the tab and try another shelf. Everything on this site is for viewers aged 18 and over, and nothing here is written to rush you.
