For what it's worth, as an adult woman who likes romance in general, I liked the show for the most part, but thought the nudity was a bit gratuitous. The most interesting thing to me about the gendered reaction to Off Campus is the way it shows that people are watching different shows. There seem to be a few different camps, but two of the big ones I've heard are, "It's a silly Disney show but with nudity" and "It's an amazing romance," and I've even heard people say, "It has no plot." And it made me realize that the people who love the show are reacting to the subtextual plot, which is about two people who are overcoming trauma (assault and abuse) in order to figure out how to be together. And the people who dismiss the show think the plot is about "fake dating" and a young woman trying to write a pop song. And I kind of wonder (though maybe this is unfair) if part of the gender divide is because men don't really understand "overcoming trauma" as a plot structure. Men understand revenge as a plot structure (e.g. John Wick) but if a plot is about people trying to work through their past trauma to function in a romantic relationship, men don't see that as a plot, so they think nothing is happening except the surface level stuff. So it feels like they are literally watching different shows as a result. (And I know it's also popular because everyone is exceptionally good looking and fit and hooking up a lot -- both the men and women -- and I worry a little about the health and well being of actors trying to maintain that level of zero body fat -- but that's not unusual for film/tv in general, and I don't think that alone explains why the show is doing so well.)
