Overcompensating

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!!!

Overcompensating (2025) is a fun and wild ride - a clever mix of American Pie, Mean Girls, and Glee (with less singing but just as much drama and attitude). The series delivers plenty of hilarious moments, sharp dialogue, and over-the-top college chaos that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Charli XCX's music is a perfect fit for the show's energetic tone. The cast has great chemistry, and the show doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries in all the right ways.

If you're into teen comedies with bite and flair, this one's for you. Here's hoping Season 2 turns the volume up even more - we're ready for it.

I hope this is the formidable beginning to a very successful career in writing as well of course, acting! I've come upon this by chance and took a chance and was impressed enough to pay closer attention to the credits and low and behold.... It's touching and thoughtful enough to make me nostalgic for college as well as seeing the other side of the experience for LGBT students and individuals. It's poignant as well as awkward and cringe enough to draw the viewer into the two main characters lives and situations, in a manner that is intelligently considered - I truly truly have enjoyed my time - thank you... Good luck in life.

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.

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.
