8 articles · Updated · Forbes · May 20
Off Campus posted a 96% critic score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, giving Amazon’s series the highest combined total among romance shows released in the past year.
That 186-point mark edged HBO Max’s Heated Rivalry at 185, while Netflix’s Forever followed at 183 and Apple TV’s Platonic season 2 reached 177.
The show has already been renewed for season 2, with Heated Rivalry also returning and both expected back within a year.
On Amazon overall, Off Campus ranks third by combined critic-audience score this year, behind Fallout season 2 at 192 and Invincible season 4 at 187.
The rankings also highlight a broader pattern: audience scores usually trail critic scores, making Off Campus one of the year’s clearest cross-audience streaming hits.
