Best Candy Shorts: the top series, picked by the numbers
"Best" here means something you can check. We rank series by how much they give for free (the length of episode 1), by length of the story and by cast, and every list says which criterion it uses. The longest free opener right now is Stepmom Summer Fling, at 1:58.
Most "best of" lists are taste dressed up as ranking. We cannot rate how good a story is in a way you could verify, so we do not pretend to. Instead each list below is sorted by one measurable criterion, stated at the top, using the files and prices from today's catalog. Taste is yours: every pick has its episode 1 one click away, free, so you can judge in a minute.

The most searched Candy Shorts
A different kind of "best": the titles people look up by name on Google. These are Under the Boss, YES MA'AM, Mona's Worst Enemy, Under Her Watch, My Best Friends Mom. Popularity says nothing about whether you will like them, but it does mean they are the series most people are talking about.
Why free minutes come first
Every regular series follows the same rule: Episode 1 plays free with no account, episode 2 is free with a free account, then 12 tokens per episode (30 in star-twin series). So the only free part that differs between series is how long that first episode runs, from 0:31 to 1:58. A longer opener lets you judge the story better before deciding to pay, which is why it leads most lists here. The full set of openers plays back to back in the free feed.
What these lists do not measure
We do not rank by explicitness. In our team's viewing the nude scenes start with the first paid episode in every regular series, so explicitness does not separate them; the series-by-series ratings are on Candy Shorts nude. We also do not rank Spicy series, whose episodes are hidden until sign-up. And we do not rank by quality of writing, because we would only be guessing. For a broader verdict on the service, see the Candy Shorts review.
