**NEW YORK, NY** – Lena Dunham, creator of the groundbreaking series “Girls,” returns to television with “Too Much,” a new romantic comedy praised as one of the year’s best. The show follows Jess (Megan Stalter), a disillusioned New Yorker who escapes to London after a breakup and professional burnout.
Trading Brooklyn for Hackney, Jess seeks a fresh start but finds herself still haunted by her ex and his influencer fiancée. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a charming but unconventional bar singer.
“Too Much,” co-created with Dunham’s husband Luis Felber, breathes new life into the rom-com genre by exploring the characters’ past traumas and family dynamics. While maintaining Dunham’s signature satirical edge, the series offers a softer, more hopeful perspective than her previous work.
The show highlights the messy realities of modern relationships, with humor and heart, Jess and Felix navigate their insecurities and baggage. Despite red flags and questionable decisions, their connection shines through intimate moments and shared musical experiences.
“Too Much” also critiques the idealized expat fantasy, showcasing the unglamorous side of life in London. With its relatable characters, sharp writing, and exploration of millennial anxieties, “Too Much” is a must-watch for fans of Dunham’s previous work and anyone seeking a fresh take on the classic rom-com.
