Daniel Fienberg

The Hollywood Reporter

It’s a confident and generally funny series-creating debut for well-regarded content creator Skinner, and the cast is packed with breakout performances from lesser-known co-stars, amusing turns from more familiar stars and cameos aplenty.

Robert Lloyd

Los Angeles Times

All in all, it’s a nice place to visit, energetic and good-natured, with lots of funny business around the edges, even as it makes one glad to have put one’s own college days in the past.

That Shelf

A genuinely heartfelt, sweetly funny, and refreshingly raunchy coming-of-age and coming-out-of-the-closet story.

Overcompensating, albeit a bit too over-the-top sometimes, is extremely entertaining and thoroughly relatable.

Rated: 3.5/5

VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)

Overcompensating is a hilarious, touching, heartbreaking comedy with just the right amount of sexy and some downright smart, silly raunchiness that makes the series shine.

Rated: 5

For years, we've been looking for a series similar to the tone of Blue Mountain State, and Overcompensating is the closest thing we've gotten to it.
