'Overcompensating' comedy series

Broke DL's character limit with that italic tag following the long-ass show title, sorry about that. Hope you get the gist.

Trailer.

May 15th.

He's cute, a less hot Taylor Zakhar Perez with an equally great body, but he is nobody's college freshman.

Looks like they got some neat cameos in this.

The dude looks 30. College freshman my ass.

His bod is incredible, though. And why not play himself, give it more of a personal touch. Also, people (Zoomers!) would be in uproar if they got a teenage actor for such a raunchy role, times have changed.

r3 I think his facial features are actually more pleasing than Zakhar's, who has a bit of a Cro-Magnon thing going on.

Thanks, OP. I will alert my grandchildren about this.

As if you have kids, bitch.

You're an idiot

And you're blocked.

What was said above. THEY LOOK TOO OLD. The closet case is way way too old. Unless this is a christian college, no tall handsome stud is going to be a tortured closet case in 2025 or it he was, he'd be quite a sad sack.

Benito Skinner is 31.

I wan't bothered by older casting in Riverdale and I'm not bothered here. It's called suspension of disbelief. Let the kiddies be in school where they belong and let the adults act.

And as has been said, it's not appropriate either if they intend to deal with smut. Look at the Young Royals shithow whenever they did anything sexual.

R12 Exactly! It ain't that big of a deal. The industry has done that since forever. Yeah, we made jokes about it, but as long as the show was entertaining, it was all good. This need for perfect 'authenticity' these days is just unnecessary.

I especially loved it in PEN15, where Erskine and Konkle played middle schoolers and they used the insane age difference with the kids around them to great comedic effect. God, I miss those two on TV together.

I loved Pen15 and I also liked Nasim Pedrad's show Chad where she played a middle school boy

All eight episodes out today. I thought the first one was decent at the start, but got a lot funnier as the episode progressed, especially that running Amanda Knox gag.

There are three love interests for the lead I can spot already, can't wait to see that develop further. He actually pulled a mini Felicity for one of them at the end. Which is preferable to the full Felicity I myself pulled as a young and highly dumb fucking bitch. Never go full Felicity, it'll fuck up your life real good.

The extremely straight Adam DiMarco plays an aggressively straight Guido jock. Which, choices.

This was awful. The gay love interest turns out to be straight. A show about sex and we don't get to see the main gay character have sex. Oops... sorry, we actually do see him go down on a woman! And the breeders get to have plenty of sex. Yet the gay character doesn't. The funniest part was when we spent 7 episodes getting attached to the love interest only to find out he's straight. Yeah... that was fun. IJBOL. This show sucked. I'm sad I won't get those hours back. It doesn't deserve a second season. I hope it gets cancelled because it was actually borderline offensive. Why did Benito Skinner, an out gay man, straightify the show? What the actual fuck?? It wasn't very gay at all. His hag got more screen time ffs!

He's very believable as a college freshman.

They're really undercompensating with that terrible cast.

Just watch Crashing on Netflix if you want to see closeted gay overcompensation run amok.

Kyle still looks pretty good.

He's very believable as a college freshman.

Im really enjoying this, the creator/lead is quite charming and talented. But the guy who has been making big sappy puppy eyes at his character since the first episode ends up being straight? How bizarre.

A closeted football player?

Sorry, that's too implausible, no one will buy it

When did Kaia Gerber morph into Zendaya?

R23 Yup. He's straight.
