The set-up could not be plainer: a woman stranded on a desert highway, and the least remarkable man imaginable pulling over in a truck that has seen better decades. I Picked Up a Hitchhiker is five episodes at twelve tokens each after the free two, and it is one of the titles we score 5 out of 5, the top of the scale.

Two episodes on the road

The free episodes are the drive: the pickup, the small talk, the sense that she is enjoying his awkwardness more than he realises. Nothing explicit appears, and the desert gives the series a look unlike anything else in the catalogue, which is mostly interiors. Forty per cent of the run for nothing, and it is the most likeable forty per cent on the platform.

The turn, and how far it goes

Episode three is where the paid episodes and the explicit content start, and this one does not hold back: a 5 out of 5, as explicit as the format gets, sustained across the last three episodes. The road-movie framing continues, so the setting keeps changing even as the story narrows to two people.

After the ride

Thirty-six tokens finishes it. Colette Ramsey, the hitchhiker, stays on as a chat character when the fifth episode ends; she is written for the series and is not a real person. Given the price, this is the cheapest 5 out of 5 in the catalogue, tied with the other standard-rate titles at the top.
