Lena Dunham Releases Second Netflix Series Too Much

Lena Dunham returns to television with the Netflix series Too Much, a semi-autobiographical romcom inspired by her move from New York to London and her relationship with British musician Luis Felber, who co-created the show. The story follows Jessica, played by Megan Stalter, a sharp and self-absorbed New Yorker navigating heartbreak, culture shock, and an unconventional romance with Felix, a flawed indie musician facing sobriety and family issues. Critics note the series blends humor and honesty, depicting modern romance with rawness and surreal moments, while echoing Dunham's signature confessional style seen in Girls. Too Much offers a fresh take on romcom clichés, mixing grit, awkwardness, and charm, supported by a strong supporting cast including appearances from Richard E. Grant and Andrew Rannells. The show’s authentic portrayal of flawed characters and its exploration of personal growth and love amidst chaos have resonated with viewers and critics alike. Overall, Too Much is praised for its life-affirming and witty examination of contemporary relationships and self-discovery.
