What Sitting Pretty is about

She asks who he is. He says he is the house-sitter. She says that is her. Both are holding the same key, both are standing in the hallway of a house in Hampstead that belongs to neither of them. Three floors, a walled garden, an Aga keeping the kitchen warm, and an agency that only says on the phone that it is looking into it. It is Monday. Her husband is joining her on Saturday, that was the arrangement. Until then she is alone. Or so she thought.

He is young, he is polite, and he has nowhere else to stay. She is married and has a house full of other people's beds she is not really supposed to sleep in. The early episodes are about two people dividing up a house and moving closer together while they do it. One Bed is the title of episode 2, and the title tells you how well the dividing goes. Then the Aga goes out, the house turns cold, and there is only one room left that is warm.

Sitting Pretty plays with the fact that she behaves in a stranger's house as if it were her own. The owners' bed, the wine cellar, the rules nobody is there to enforce. Episode 1 sets up the double-booking mistake and Saturday as the deadline. What happens in between runs under Scandals on DreamyShorts. The question that remains: how is she sitting when her husband unlocks the front door on Saturday? Tidied up, or not at all?

Questions about Sitting Pretty

What is Sitting Pretty on DreamyShorts about?

A married woman house-sitting in Hampstead, and a young stranger the agency has given the same job. Both stay. Her husband arrives on Saturday. The six episodes tell what happens in the week before that, in a house that belongs to neither of them.

Can I watch Sitting Pretty completely free?

Not completely. Episode 1 plays here in the player without an account. From episode 2 you need the Dreamy Shorts premium membership, at 19.99 USD a month or 119.88 USD a year. There are no more free episodes than that, and we are not going to claim otherwise.

How long is an episode of Sitting Pretty?

One to two minutes, in portrait format, like a clip on your phone. The whole series is done in a coffee break. Each episode ends at a point that makes the next one necessary. That is the principle on DreamyShorts, and with this series it works well.
