A hilarious dive Into queer college life* *Overcompensating* showcases Benny's journey as a closeted college student, finding his tribe and love interests along his chaotic path. With Wally Baran playing Carmen, Benny's new friend, and Rish Shah as his crush, Miles, it's a whirlwind.

One Twitter user exclaimed, “Didn't think *Overcompensating* would hit this hard. Came because Charli XCX, stayed because comedy and chaos—it was like a love letter wrapped in queer college vibes. I need more, like ASAP.” Other fans are urging friends not yet watching, calling it “so queer and fun and funny,” emphasizing that laughs are guaranteed each episode.

Charli XCX steals her scene*** As herself, Charli XCX's appearance in *Overcompensating* adds a delightful subplot with her college concert scene.
