Overcompensating is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy created by and starring Benito Skinner, the comedian and internet personality known for his viral character sketches. Produced by A24 for Prime Video, the series follows Benny, a former high-school football star and homecoming king who arrives at college harboring a secret he has spent his life burying: he is gay. To keep up appearances, Benny throws himself into an exhausting performance of heterosexual masculinity, even as he forms an intense, complicated friendship with a fellow student who is hiding insecurities of her own.
Skinner mines his own experiences for a story that is at once raucously funny and unexpectedly tender, capturing the specific anxiety of a young person terrified that the elaborate identity they have constructed might collapse. Wally Baram co-stars as Carmen, the friend whose bond with Benny anchors the series, alongside Mary Beth Barone and Adam DiMarco. The show is threaded with pop-culture references and a scene-stealing cameo from Charli XCX, giving it a hyper-current, extremely-online sensibility.
Debuting on Prime Video in 2025, Overcompensating earned warm reviews for its blend of broad comedy and genuine emotional honesty, marking a confident scripted breakout for Skinner beyond his short-form internet fame. Funny, heartfelt, and sharply observed, it streams on Prime Video.
