What Term Time is about

It starts with a promise at the airport. His best friend is flying off to another city for a master's degree and asks him a favour: look in on her now and then. On the woman in whose house his friend grew up, divorced for two years, alone in a place with too many rooms and blocked gutters. He is 26, works at the DIY store, and has known her since he was a lad as the one who always set one plate too many. He says, sure, will do. He means it as a duty. The first episode is called Set for Three, and even then you can tell the third plate will not stay empty for long.

Autumn takes its course. Gutters, leaves, a dinner he meant to turn down, a second one he no longer turns down. On Sundays the friend calls on video, and the two of them sit side by side on the sofa pretending nothing is going on. In Leaf Pile they fall literally, in Fallen in the other sense. After that the question hangs in the room that neither of them asks: what is this, and how long does it go on? The answer has a date. The friend is coming home for a week off, and by then whatever should never have started has to be over.

Term Time runs in the MILF category, but the series tells a slow autumn drama rather than a scandal: closeness born of loneliness, guilt towards the friend, the pull of knowing it cannot last forever. Let It Ring and The Tap are the episodes where the tension peaks, and Night Before Landing says in its title what everything is heading towards. All the characters are adults, and whether the affair really ends before the plane lands, you only see at the very end.

Is Term Time explicit on Dreamy Shorts?

No, the series shows closeness and hesitation, not skin. One plate too many, a hand on the ladder, a video call where the two of them sit too close together. The tension lies in the forbidden and in the date by which it has to stop. Still, the same applies as everywhere on DreamyShorts: adults only.
