Nine episodes instead of five, which makes this one of only two series in the catalogue that run long. Amanda's husband is hardly ever home, always between flights, and the new neighbour picks up on everything he has stopped seeing. Those four extra episodes are spent on the build-up, and that is the reason to choose it.
A slower burn
With nine episodes the series can take its time over the build, and it does. The free pair covers less of the story than it would in a five-part title, so you are further from the turn when the free part runs out.
The bill
Seven locked episodes at twelve tokens make eighty-four to finish, more than double a standard series. Amanda Langford remains as someone to chat with when it ends, and she also leads a shorter title, My Stepmom Needs A Plus One.
