What is the podcast episode about?
hello and welcome to shameless the pop culture podcast for smart people who love dumb stuff you are joined as always by melbourne writers michelle andrews hello zara mcdonald hello hello to nobody in the producing chair we're alone we're all alone alone with one and a half voices good luck to us no as we said on friday's episode billy and gil in sydney they're in sid They'll be back. Off gallivanting. Gallivanting without us. We miss them. Oh, so much. It's kind of funny. As soon as a gill and a belly leave the room, Zara and I look at each other like two dummies. I'm like, how do we do a podcast? Yeah, even though that's how we did it for like five years. I know. Anyway. Today on the show, Mishimu. We're reviewing Off Campus.
This has been a highly demanded episode from you guys. We have said on previous episodes that we both binged Off Campus. We've also said it's like the show of the moment that everyone's talking about. All of the listeners came back to us and our DMs have been on fire. They said, where is the review then? Where's the review? We want a comprehensive chat about Off Campus. We said, sure, we can do that for you. Sure thing, Queenies. We can absolutely do that. Before we get into it, a quick shout out to our sponsor, Squarespace, the all-in-one platform that helps you build a beautiful website and launch your passion, project or business. Thank you, Squarespace. Thank you so much to Squarespace. Where do you want to start with Off Campus Mish?
Because I think while we touched on the show the other week, the numbers that have been published from Amazon about the success of this TV show since then have been quite amazing. Yeah. So last week it became the third most watched TV series for the streamer in its history, beaten only by Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power and Fallout. Off campus, and this really took me by surprise, is significantly bigger than The Summer I Turned Pretty. That has also taken me off guard. The Summer I Turned Pretty was huge. It felt like... The Samurai Turned Pretty enveloped culture like we did an emergency episode about the finale. Did we? I'm like more than sure we did. Oh my God, that does ring a bell. Yeah. Well, like.
Because don't you remember we got in and then we rushed Belly and she didn't have notes. And then we realized. And she watched the wrong episode. She realized that in her watching of the show, she'd accidentally skipped an episode. So it missed like all these plot points. But yeah, this is massive. Off campus hit 36 million viewers in just 12 days. For context, season three of The Summer I Turned Pretty hit 70 million viewers in the first 70 days. So it's on track to beat it. on track to absolutely smash it. We also have this from Variety. Among female viewers aged 18 to 34 alone, Off Campus is Prime Video's number one debut of all time. It's funny when a show is this ubiquitous this fast because it feels like the rise is so astronomical that almost the fall away feels quite quick too that it just like spikes so fast but then also these people feel like they've been famous forever.
Yeah, you're so right. I also felt like with Off Campus, I went from not seeing it at all, literally having no idea what it was. One day on my TikTok, I saw a couple of videos where I was like, what is this thing that's getting quiet? Like I saw the cut down of the J-Lo scene. Yeah. where Ali and Dean are like sexy dancing together. I saw that and I was like, what is this show? And why has this gone so viral in my feed? And then all of a sudden, by the next day, it was like if you hadn't binged off campus yet, you were so out of the loop. It's funny because I think the first thing that piqued my interest and had me raising an eyebrow was actually seeing the press tour or the premiere unfold on social.
I noticed that Prime Video had flown. And just before I actually get into this, I do want to acknowledge we've worked with Prime Video in the past. We'll work with them again in the future. This is not in any way sponsored. Oh yeah, this whole episode is totally unsponsored by Prime.
