The Prodigal Daughter

Hour-long title vignette from Pure Taboo has fine acting by an ensemble cast (including several NonSex performers), but the story moves from drama to utterly unbelievable behavior. It's the same old fault with this series, where credibility is constantly sacrificed in order to move on to the XXX sex.

Jane Wilde plays the teen reunited with her parents (Dee Williams and Derrick Pierce) after a dozen years away, presumably kidnapped. Suspense is generated, and the skepticism of the parents' relatives Brock Slayden and Venice Rose turns out to be accurate, as Jane is soon revealed to be an imposter.

So far, so good, but when the young schemer blackmails Dee and Derrick into having sex with her, their acquiescence and her power over them is phony and unconvincing.

Thanks to Dee we have a hot threesome scene, making up for the overall defect. I was impressed with statuesque actress Venice Rose as an in-law and would like to see her in a major role.

Supporting program is a clunker titled "Daddy's Golden Rules". Derrick Pierce is the mean stepdad who gives his kid April Aniston a rough time, punishing her to establish his dominance. It's one of Pure Taboo's trademark mean-spirited vignettes, piling on the misogynistic abuse, presumably as part of producer Bree Mills' tiresome "men are bad" campaign. It even begins with one of Bree's major fetishes: April urinating (her slacks getting all wet) when daddy won't let her visit the bathroom.
