Second Helpings

Two best friends, freshly divorced, a week all-inclusive, and an entertainment rep they both have secretly on their list.

Episode 1: Aqua Gym

Episode 1 plays here for free. From episode 2 onwards you need a Dreamy Shorts membership.

What Second Helpings is about

She asks whether the rep is already taken. Her friend says no idea and looks the other way. Both are lying. Second Helpings is set in Benidorm, in a hotel with a pool, a buffet and an evening programme, and both women are here to celebrate their divorces. Loudly, proudly, with cocktails from eleven in the morning. The young entertainment rep runs the aqua gym class in the mornings and, under house rules, is not allowed to touch a guest. That makes him interesting. Each of them decides to have him. Neither tells the other.

Episode 1 is the water aerobics: two women in the pool, a man at the edge with a microphone, and looks that last longer than the exercise. In Turndown Service he knocks on a door in the evening, officially about the towels. For a while the series runs on two tracks, until the friends catch each other out. Episode 3 is called Why Are We Taking Turns, and the title is the whole twist. Instead of a row there is a decision: they share him for the rest of the week. The hotel staff must not find out.

Closed for Cleaning and Staff Only move the meetings into rooms where guests do not belong. Farewell Night is the last evening before the flight home. Second Helpings sits in Getaways, MILF and Taboo, and the mix fits: sun, experience, an arrangement nobody talks about back home. The series is funny, not dark. It shows two women who no longer let anyone tell them no, and a young man who finds his own way between the rota and the house rules. No nudity on screen, plenty of suggestion.

Questions about Second Helpings

What is the taboo in Second Helpings?

Two friends and one man, by agreement. Plus an employee who is not allowed to touch guests. The series handles it lightly and with humour. There is no violence, no coercion, no family, just adults on holiday who let different rules apply for a week.

Is Second Helpings free on DreamyShorts?

The first episode, yes. It plays right here, no sign-up. For the rest you need the premium membership. There is no hidden catch: you watch the first couple of minutes of the series and then decide whether the remaining episodes are worth the subscription to you.

How long is Second Helpings in total?

Around ten minutes for all six episodes. Each episode ends on a cut that pulls you into the next one. You can switch subtitles on and mute the sound. After the last episode the story is complete. The two women fly home, and what they take with them, you see in Farewell Night.
