About this episode

The episode explores the obsession of millennial moms with the show 'Off Campus' and the reasons behind it.

Pamela has officially reached the point where every conversation somehow circles back to "Off Campus." Karen cannot understand the obsession. Pamela cannot understand how Karen is not watching. So naturally, we had to dedicate an entire episode to it. This week on Motherish, we’re diving into why so many millennial moms are completely hooked on "Off Campus." Is it the nostalgia? The teen drama? The emotional support characters? The escape from real life? Probably all of the above. From teenie-bopper energy to full-blown emotional investment, we unpack why this show has moms everywhere staying up too late, texting their friends theories and feeling entirely too attached to fictional teenagers.
