In Overcompensating, Benny (Benito Skinner) arrives at college and isn’t eager to share a part of himself – that he’s pretty sure he’s gay – with his new community, and latches on to Carmen (Wally Baram), who is going through her own issues, to find a way to feel like he fits in.
Awards Buzz spoke with Skinner about the built-in audience he might already have for the show and how he pulled from and modified his own life experiences. Watch the video above to hear his take on some of the season’s rollercoaster moments and how he’s already planning – and patiently waiting – for a potential second season.
Season one of Overcompensating is now streaming on Prime Video.
