This pair of Pure Taboo dramas is a waste of time, with (left-handed compliment alert!) the sort of saving grace being the show only lasts a measly hour. Quite an insult to the rapidly shrinking universe of DVD buyers.
Title scene is utterly straightforward, that means cornball. Anny Aurora is the overage babysitter who seduces her dad's stepbrother (how's that for stretching the concept of faux incest beyond recognition) when he comes back with his drunken wife from their wedding anniversary evening out.
Nothing interesting happens here due to Fistopher Nolan's lousy script, and uncle Brad Newman gives in to Anny's seduction almost instantly. No twists and a nothing ending to a nothing scene, which also wastes Karla Lane, a plus-size porn star, in the nothing role as wife.
Nolan encores with a dumb screenplay for the supporting vignette, both segments blandly directed by David Lord. Olive Glass plays a bad girl, caregiver to Nicol Sage, who's paralyzed in bed, awaiting an operation. Her husband is played one-note by Seth Gamble in phony anguish over carrying on an affair with sexy Olive.
He gets enough backbone going to fire Olive, unwilling to continue cheating on helpless Nicole, but Glass won't take no for an answer. Quicker than you can say Glenn Close (or the late Jessica Walter), she returns and slips Nicole a sedative, declaring to Seth that his wife will be unconscious for hours, so it's time for more sex.
It's completely unconvincing how Seth turns on a dime and glumly humps Olive for the rest of the show, doomed to be under her control -hence the title of the vignette: "Wrapped Around Her Finger". Boring and beyond predictable.
