Overcompensating Reviews

super realistic, very validating, one of the best shows ive watched, cliffhanger was too big for the first season but also this story is beautiful and has sm life lessons ; amazing soundtrack too - i binged the entire thing 😭

i expected to hate it so bad but it was so fucking funny and honestly perfect mix of gen z humor and adolescence blues like ugh and the whole the actors are 30 yo playing college people just adds to the vibe of it for me just could’ve maybe focused a bit more on carmen? but idk

This was so good and obviously like Benny and Carmen are both kinda fucked up but literally carmen needs to get it together bc she’s literally making a fool of herself

So good, feel like I wouldn’t like AS much as a rewatch but I feel like that’s just cause it’s a comedy, and… why do I want a Peter character development?? help me that scene where party 4 u played, I love Benny and Carmen they’re so cute

Carmen needs to die

Anyone who said Adults was better than this is a LIAAARRRR. Not comparable first of all. Actually funny and the characters are somehow likable through all their flaws. Also feels realistic and relatable and has real issues for a comedy. Addicting & binge-able.

i had to retry watching this & get past the first episode. i enjoyed it once i got passed how cringe it can be, the first episode truly sucked lol but it’s a decent watch if you’re not in too much of a judgmental mood

like... i would watch the next season but ... did i really like it?

I really enjoyed it, it was funny and had some good lines. It really made me hyped for season 2 as well! It has some relatable moments and it for sure is an up-and-down kinda show.

Omg this was sooooo funnyy loved it!!! If u know any similar shows let me know !!

Overcompensating is one of the most refreshingly original shows to hit the screen in years. It's equal parts chaotic, clever, and emotionally resonant—balancing absurdist humor with surprisingly sharp commentary on identity, ambition, and the masks we wear. The cast is phenomenal

Hi, my names Benny. On the outside, I may be white, upper middle class, tall, handsome, fit, popular (even despite my qUiRkY and aWkwArD personality), and pretty much perfect in every way. But on the inside? I have one HUGE ASS secret…

6.5/10

i honestly really liked it, which is really surprising because i’m not all about “tiktok” shows. it was really entertaining and funny, and all their problems are so minute, but it adds to the humour. hailee is the BEST character hands down. (didn’t love the full frontal scene). 😩

loved this - but I do think the first half is better than the second half

It was alright. The humor did feel forced at times

I LOVE this show. It is so hard to watch because everyone is really awkward but it feels like an outward representation of how things feel in your head. Everything is dramatic which reminds you that everyone is probably overthinking normal interactions as well.

6.8/10

La verdad creo que le tenía mucha expectativa a la serie por que dijeron que se parecía a adults, pero me ha decepcionado un poco la Carmen es un poco mala amiga pero el Benito no se queda atrás la verdad.

What the fuck is that cliffhanger?!
