Overcompensating (Season 1)

Overcompensating (2025) is an American comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Benny used to be the football star and homecoming king. All that armor served one purpose — hiding from everyone the fact that he is gay.

At college Benny clicks with Carmen, just as much an outsider and just as willing to do anything to finally fit in. Guided by Benny's older sister and her campus-legend boyfriend, the two freshmen flounder through dreadful hookups, flavored vodka and fake IDs. The leads go to series creator Benito Skinner and Wally Baram, with Megan Fox turning up along the way.

The show was dreamed up by comedian Benito Skinner, known for his internet sketches, who drew much of the story straight from his own youth. Made for Prime Video, it runs one season of eight episodes, with Desiree Akhavan among the directors. The result is a loud campus comedy about how terrifying it is to be yourself, packed with the awkward Gen-Z humor Skinner trades in. It'll click with fans of coming-of-age shows like Sex Education, while older viewers may tire of the loud, meme-driven delivery. Watch every episode of Overcompensating online on iFILM.
