For me, the era Hannah and Garrett are entering in season 2 is so buzzy. Maybe it’s because this is probably the first show in years where I’ll actually get to see what a couple is like after they get together. In today’s shows, the storyline usually ends once the couple gets together, or if it has multiple seasons, it’s just constant breakups, misunderstandings, or characters trying to tear the couple apart. I think I’ve simply grown out of that whole “I want you, but in the next episode I don’t want you anymore” kind of dynamic.

The creators knew exactly what they were doing with that strategic leak and by choosing that particular type of scene. They didn’t reveal much at all, but they definitely managed to lure us in.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Off Campus debuted on Prime Video on May 13. Since then, the romance series has proved itself a global streaming sensation, and the same holds true when it comes to Prime Video's nationwide chart, where the show just passed an impressive milestone. Off Campus has crossed the 100-day mark on Prime Video's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the United States. The 2026 series has been trending on the streaming service nationwide for 111 days, which is considerably more than nearly every other TV show on the chart. Only The Terminal List: Dark Wolf ranks higher at 122 days.

Based on that milestone, Off Campus has been trending on Prime Video in the US since its release, acting not only as an instant streaming sensation, but showing the kind of legs that a TV show with 13 books to pick and choose from needs to adapt the whole franchise it is based on. Additionally, Off Campus shows no signs of slowing down, as the new series is holding strong as Prime Video's 4th most-watched TV show in the US. Given how The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is currently at 9th and dropping, Off Campus could soon pass its number of days on the chart.

I’ve been thinking that Logan and Grace’s book storyline probably wouldn’t work exactly the same way in the show. Let me explain. If they followed the book, Logan would have to become frustrated with Hannah and Garrett pretty early on, probably within the first few episodes, and then we know that shortly afterward he becomes intimate with Grace and eventually goes back to her, mainly because he wants to prove to himself that he can make a woman orgasm.

I don’t think that would work at all in the show, mainly because they haven’t given Logan the background of someone who regularly has casual hookups. Also, the whole scene in the book feels very impulsive, and that’s not really how the show has been using intimate scenes to tell its stories.

Even with Allie and Dean, who are characterized as the most impulsive, the show changed things so that Allie had time to think about whether she even wanted to pursue anything with him. So I’m really curious to see how they handle Logan and Grace. But if they follow the book version closely, I’ll be very surprised — and I’ll stand by my point that if they wanted to use the book storyline, they should have established Logan’s background a little differently.

Hannah and Garrett are a challenge for each other in their own way, and that’s exactly why their relationship works so well and doesn’t need the typical TV drama. Episodes 2 and 3 demonstrate this really well, in my opinion.

I’d break it down into several parts: the tutoring at Garrett’s house — I think this scene is underrated but so well done because it shows exactly when another spark of Garrett’s feelings for Hannah ignites, right when he realizes that this girl isn’t going to simply fall at his feet and that she can actually match him and challenge him.

Then there’s their banter about the costume, another underrated scene that adds so much to their dynamic. Their first kiss in the gym is basically the definition of both of them challenging each other from both sides.

And finally, we have karaoke. Hannah Wells, you are an icon. 👑

There’s a small but funny moment in episode 2 when Garrett takes a selfie with Hannah’s phone, looks at the picture, and goes “nice” 😂. Hannah gestures for him to give her phone back, but he doesn’t even hesitate and starts looking through her schedule instead.

Of course, Hannah gets her revenge later in the same episode when she starts replying to a message from a Puck Bunny right in front of him.😂

The point of this post is basically that a post popped up on my Twitter, and I realized I hadn’t even noticed that he said it. So I rewatched the whole scene and had a good laugh. Feel free to ignore me 😂

Yes, Garrett and Hannah are definitely my comfort couple. The Deal once pulled me out of a reading slump, and the Off Campus TV show​ reminded me after a long time what it feels like to truly enjoy a show and actually want to rewatch it (I'm not much of a TV person, at least when it comes to most shows these days).

Having my comfort couple in two different versions​ both of which I genuinely love, feels like such a privilege.

I’m not really someone who likes rating certain scenes because I can never make up my mind, and I think every scene deserves its own appreciation. But after xy rewatches and comparing it with the book (I will never stop saying that E and B are the queen and king when it comes to translating inner monologues onto the screen), I’ve figured out which scenes are my absolute favourites, and I’d like to share them with you:

The “Show Me” scene — and I don’t mean just the act itself, but the entire build-up, including the conversation they have. It is simply TOP TIER.

The “I love you” scene.

The karaoke scene and the entire sequence that follows afterwards.

The first kiss.

And one scene that definitely deserves a mention is the conversation in the bedroom in episode 2.

Feel free to share your thoughts

Belmont mentioned in yesterday’s interview that season 3 is part of his upcoming work plans (in the context of hoping that they get renewed). This most likely confirms that the cast has multi-year contracts.

So I think we can relax a little and stop manifesting worst-case scenarios.

From a certain point on, I honestly can't imagine or even want to imagine anyone else playing Hannah and Garrett.

Ella Bright about Belmont Cameli:

"It’s so comfortable with us, we're so close. he’s just the best— he’s amazing. i’d never even kissed anybody on screen. so, to have him— to have someone that i’m so comfortable with, doing these new, crazy scenes for the first time is just a dream come true. he’s the best.”

Reminder: I’m saying this in terms of what they were able to bring to the screen and their professional working relationship. So please don’t bring any real-life shipping into the comments under my post. Thank you.

I know the general opinion is that Off Campus gets better as the season goes on, but I guess I'm the exception. I really loved Episode 1, and as book reader, my heart melted several times. My favorite moments:

"Mona" scene

Banter scene at Malone's

"The B*tch Is Back" scene

The Deal scene

What is your opinion on this episode?
