My Girlfriend's Stepmom

Jake is a boyfriend on his first day at the family house, where Chloe's stepmother Dana runs things on a principle of openness. Dana is relaxed, amused and unbothered by awkwardness, which is the opposite of Jake's current state. Chloe knows the household better than she let on. The stakes are mostly about composure: a nervous guest, a hostess who sets the pace, and a girlfriend who may know exactly where the visit is headed.

Right away, Dana introduces herself and tells Jake, soothingly, that this house keeps nothing hidden. It becomes clear what she means: she has already met him in the shower, Chloe tries to stop her mid-sentence, and Jake wonders why he was not warned. The second episode brings Chloe's explanation, a family tradition involving Dana and her boyfriends. Dana then sets terms, two minutes, no moving, and a pair of rules about touching and staring, while Chloe encourages him and Dana says a little fear is good for him.

Playful and consensual in tone: Chloe is in on the game, so it plays as a teasing ritual rather than a betrayal. Expect plenty of innuendo, rules and lingering looks, with the free episodes holding back and cutting away before anything explicit appears.

A fit for fans of the confident older woman who like their tension built from rules, banter and a very nervous boyfriend. Press play on episode 1 to find out what Dana means when she promises a house without secrets.
