Perhaps the funniest streaming comedy since “Hacks,” Amazon Prime Video’s “Overcompansating” presents as a wild, profanity-filled “Animal House”-style bacchanal. But at its heart, the eight-episode series is an endearing coming-of-age story centered on two good people trying to find themselves.

Age mismatches crush the heart of Overcompensating. The viewer cannot invest in Benny’s college realizations, primarily because he doesn’t look like he’s in college. Nor can they invest in the show’s side characters, simply because their ages are splattered across two decades, destroying any sense of realism. Sure, the jokes land. But the emotional resonance that Skinner clearly wants to strike has gone missing. Maybe some better casting would have helped.
