How we timed them
Candy serves each free episode as an ordinary video file, and every such file records its own length in its header. We read that value for episodes 1 and 2 of all 123 series on 2 October 2026: 246 measurements, no estimates. The paid episodes sit behind tokens, so they are not in the count, and we have not tried to work out their length from the free ones.
What the numbers say
Forty-eight free episodes come in under a minute, 182 sit between one minute and a minute and a half, and only 16 go past 1:30. The longest single free episode belongs to Stepmom Summer Fling at 1:58, with Mia Malkova's Private Lessons next at 1:43. At the other end, My Best Friend's Mom Has One Rule opens with 45 seconds.
Add the two free episodes together and the shape holds: a typical series lets you watch for 2:12 before it wants anything from you. Twenty-three give you under two minutes, 93 between two and three, and seven more than three. Stepmom Summer Fling tops this list too, with 3:50 of free viewing, ahead of Mona's Obsession at 3:13.
Newer series run shorter
Sort the catalogue by age and a trend appears. In the oldest third of the series a typical free episode lasts 1:13; in the middle third, 1:04; in the newest third, 1:02. Not one of the 41 most recent series has a free episode longer than a minute and a half, while 26 of their 82 free episodes finish inside a minute. The platform has settled on roughly a minute an episode, and the long, unhurried openings belong to its earlier titles.
That is worth knowing when you pick something to try. A recent release gives you about two minutes to decide; an older title can give you three.
Is a longer opening a better series?
Not by itself. A long opening gives a story more space, and the series that use it well are often the ones people finish. But some of the shortest openings, Riley Reid's titles among them, are short because they go straight to what the audience came for: they spend their minute on the performer rather than on a plot. Our reviews weigh the opening against everything after it.
Subtitles, and the sign-up prompt
Nearly every free episode carries subtitles in six languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. The 27 most recent series add Japanese as a seventh. Only the two oldest titles in the catalogue have none.
Episode 1 played without an account on every series we checked. Episode 2 is free too, but during our measurements about half of the page loads asked for a free account before it would start, so expect that prompt.
