Season 1 Review:
Over the course of eight episodes that go down like spiked punch, Overcompensating pulls out all the stops.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a testament to Baram’s chops as an actor and comedian that she [Wally Baram as Carmen] holds her own against Skinner and Barone; by the end of the season, she emerges as a full co-protagonist. “Overcompensating” nicely captures the larval grabbiness of this stage of adulthood, and the specific ways Gen Z uses each other to craft a public image and a private identity.
