Blackout at My Yacht Party: ten episodes, and you are holding the camera

The setup

Riley is hosting a summer party on a yacht. The theme is Black Out. You are the camera operator she has hired to film it for her audience, which means the series is shot in first person and you never appear.

That conceit is the most formally interesting thing in the catalogue. Everywhere else you watch two people; here you are addressed, handed instructions, and occasionally told where to point. For the first few episodes it genuinely changes how the thing plays.

Where it runs out

Around episode five. A party is not a plot, and once the series has established the premise it has nowhere to take it except more of the same, with more people. The back half is longer rather than larger.

Ten episodes is an ambitious length for a format built on ninety-second units, and this is the series that shows why most of the catalogue stops at five.

How explicit it gets

Five out of five. Explicit once the party starts, with group scenes from the middle of the run onward. All participants are generated adults.

What it costs

No free episode. Premium opens episodes 1 and 2, then eight episodes at 50 tokens each: 400 tokens to finish. At the token rates in circulation that is around forty dollars, on top of a subscription, and it is the most expensive single run we track.

That price is the problem. Fifty tokens an episode is the catalogue ceiling and this is the only series that charges it eight times.

Where to start with Riley instead

She appears in seven series. My Step-Sister’s Dormitory is five episodes with two free and the best-built of them. If the first-person idea is what appeals, try this one’s opening episodes on a month you already have Premium and stop when it stops developing.
