Overcompensating
College. Come as you aren't.
Created by Benito Skinner
On Prime Video
A warm, energetic comedy about self-discovery and friendship in college, where two misfits navigate identity, attraction, and belonging through humor and mutual support.
Closeted former football player and homecoming king Benny becomes fast friends with Carmen, a high school outsider on a mission to fit in at all costs. With guidance from Benny's older sister and her campus-legend boyfriend, Benny and Carmen juggle horrible hookups, flavored vodka, and fake IDs.
