We Need to Talk About Off Campus

About this episode

The hosts discuss their impressions and analysis of the TV adaptation of Off Campus, inspired by the popular hockey romance book series.

We couldn’t just NOT talk about Off Campus, so two episodes this week it is! We binged all of Off Campus, the brand-new TV adaptation inspired by the hockey romance book series that took BookTok by storm. Now, we’re breaking down our first impressions, favorite moments, casting choices, what worked (and what didn’t), and whether the show lives up to the hype of the original books. From iconic scenes to character chemistry, we’re discussing all the drama, romance, and adaptation choices fans are already talking about. Did Off Campus stay true to the books? Which characters stole the show? Are we officially obsessed? Join the BYO book club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Our May 2026 pick is Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune!
