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.
Opiniones destacadas
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.

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 had low expectations based on the description but since it was A24 produced, I gave it a chance. Is it revolutionary? No. Is it deeply thought provoking? No. But it IS highly entertaining. I could relate to Benny in so many ways as a gay man who had very similar struggles when coming out. A lot of the plot is classic early 2000s era raunchy comedy, but there's something nostalgic about it. Even though Benny is a very privileged white male, I liked seeing a gay lead protagonist. Also loved Baram and Barone. Great character arcs in a single season. The gratuitous male nudity doesn't hurt either. I hope there are more seasons and really hope this doesn't become another one-and-done show that gets cancelled for the next big idea flop. Overcompensating left me wanting to see what happens next and it's a lighthearted, funny comedy that fills a niche that's been empty for years.
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!!!
Which of these scenes were not included in Animal House, a 1970s flick about post-50s, early 1960s collegiate life?
Freshmen expectations, beer, fake IDs, beer, partying, beer, blood, beer, cafeteria drama, beer, scoring, beer, fraternity antics, beer, confusion, beer, change in academic plans for lust, beer, etc.
With many "out" people and groups on campus today, the coming out fears expressed relate to a few (while in the time period of Animal House, most were mocked, shunned, or worse).
Which begs the question: who is the intended audience of this series?
I'm not really sure. And what is its redeeming value? Haven't discovered it yet, but I'm only midway through episode 4.
