Resumen
Reviewers say 'Overcompensating' is a mixed bag with strong positives and significant criticisms. Many praise its humor, relatable themes, and standout performances, especially Benito Skinner's portrayal of Benny. The show's exploration of coming out and college life resonates with some viewers. However, common criticisms include poor casting choices, with older actors playing college students, and issues with pacing and writing. Some find the humor forced and the characters one-dimensional. Despite these flaws, many hope for a second season, appreciating the show's attempt to blend comedy with meaningful themes. Overall, 'Overcompensating' offers a fun, if flawed, take on college life and self-discovery.

As someone who's seen a lot of television and is bored by most of it due to how slow the plot progresses, I appreciate when I finds a show where literally every episode and you're 100% in. Every episode explores a new story arc and I love that I can't stop watching. I've followed Benito Skinner for years and his humor is so specific and funny that I was having 2010s flashbacks 😂 He stars and wrote it so we have Benny's quick wit to thank for creating this gem. And convincing Charli XCX to be in it. Also love breaking down the stereotypes of college, growing beyond labels and how we are all human going through the same experience.
I stumbled on this show and it's unexpectedly funny and easy to watch. Good storytelling, relatable characters, great packaging. I haven't enjoyed a comedy series like this in a while.
We're experiencing college through the eyes of the two freshmen protagonists, Benny and Carmen, who come with their own baggage which could be a deep well of plots and storylines for subsequent seasons. I appreciate that some of these potential stories might have to be set off-campus which is refreshing in itself.
Also, credit goes to the secondary/supporting cast for being just as compelling. Peter's storyline may be only second to Benny's in terms interest.
Very good show.

This whole thing is exactly my kind of humor! These are my kind of characters, my kind of style. I absolutely loved all of this so much. OH and the SOUNDTRACK like HELLO?? Banger slay needle drops. There's lots of silly jokes, clever jokes, stupid stuff, and lots of bits, even down to the editing and over the top language at times, and it all works super, super well. It's nonstop laughing and nonstop emotion-cried in episode five 🙏🏼- I also love how classic it feels. Instantly iconic and quotable. It's also not afraid to make messy jokes while coming from a place of care and love. Cannot wait for more!!!
The Gen Z humor is so over the top that it's not even cringe anymore it's actually funny. The references are so well done. The characters are not one dimensional and I'm seriously invested in everyone's POV. Every character is a little unlikable and I love that because everyone is a villain in someone's story.
I'm really hoping it's not one of those shows that only gets a singular season. The standout performance for me was Holmes(Hailee) the character stole the spotlight in every scene they were a part of. I can't wait to see more of Hailee.
I really think that the whole cast is having a lot of fun on the show and you can really see that.

The talented Benito Skinner not only stars, but also created and wrote this college campus comedy about being chameleons in one's peer social surroundings in order to survive the humiliation of being a nobody freshie. In Benny's case, he is gay, and in this day and age he attempts to hide it under the facade of a high school football star from Ohio (or was it Idaho?) Nevertheless, Benny has a hard time coming out, and along the way he befriends another freshie, Carmen, who together navigate their new world in an overblown send-up of college life and all the ridiculous situations that come with it, but with an emotional depth that surprises with each episode...
