Los Angeles Times"Benny’s struggles are emotionally poignant..."
Chicago Tribune"Despite the occasional unevenness, it’s one of the most promising comedies to hit television in recent memory."
RogerEbert.com"The show is an equal-opportunity satire stacked with great performers."
The Washington Post"Just don’t come to Overcompensating expecting wall-to-wall comedy; this is a thoroughly charming show with a very sensitive soul."
The Guardian"The track record of social media stars translating their success to television isn’t great... Overcompensating is good enough to have a shot at bucking that trend."
Rolling Stone"All in all, it’s far from a remarkable comedy, but it’s certainly a sound one."
IndieWire"Conveys the messiness and awkwardness of early-college years..."
A.V. Club"They are you and me and every 18-year-old who ever thought they were going to conquer adulthood in a single stroke."
