I didn't research any of the actors/producers/writers/creators before watching. Not too long into the first episode, I immediately clocked Lena Dunham's touch. If you've seen Dunham's "Girls" (HBO) you will get immediate Hannah energy from the main character. From what I've seen so far, a lot of the situations Jessica herself into are very similar to Hannah from Girls. BUT, it does not have quite the same wit and bite as the dialogue in Girls. Girls felt messier without TRYING to be. Jessica is just a tinge over the top to where it's borderline unbelievable that anyone is friends with her or wants to be with her. Lena's previous characters, like Hannah Horvath, were more fleshed out. They are trying TOO HARD to make Jessica a "mess".

There are some really beautiful scenes in the show, but there's also lot of other things that get in the way of the good parts. For example, there are way too many musical "filler" scenes, sex scenes, main character being intentionally awkward and whiny scenes. When she's not acting like a child, she's outstanding, but most of the time, she's a little annoying. Thankfully, the rest of the characters are interesting and give exactly what they are supposed to for their parts. Overall, I like the show, just wish it weren't so chaotic, but maybe that's the point of it all. Obviously she feels out of control of her life and everything that happens to her is a reflection of that.

After watching the entire series, I realized it felt like a social commentary on our individualistic and narcissistic culture. It made me sad, and I think it was supposed to make me laugh. It felt like everybody was so egotistical in this series there was not one redeeming character, including the protagonist. I wanted to like her a little more, but I just couldn't. She just kept sabotaging herself. Also, this series felt like it lacked a really good, strong plot sometimes it felt quite boring and like they were stretching the series for more episodes. I gave it a higher score because I loved all of the actors performances. It was nice to see Lena again, and I know she created this. I would say this had a beautiful moments and very disturbing moments, but I'm not going to be recommending it overall.

So many wasted talents in this yawn of a comedy. Will Sharp is the reason for two of the three stars, hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things.

The ensemble characters are a bunch of stereotypes, choosen to complete a checklist of visibility.

The biggest problem is the total unlikeability of the main character. You really stop caring about her crash life in London very quickly. The "funny" social situations are so contrived they become just silly. The written tries too hard to cover issues, emotions etc.

A special mention for Jennifer Saunders playing an unfunny version of Abfab Eddie

It tries to too hard and fails dramatically, if you want to see a well written female lead comedy watch Fleabag (or even Miranda)

The main character jokes around and makes looks so much that it's not even believable as a real person. Even when she's supposed to be heartbroken it is a farce. Cringy. I'd like some character with substance. No one in the world acts the way these characters do but the main character more so than others. No substance at all just one "joke" after the other.

Watching Too Much felt like someone had taken a snapshot of my past and turned it into a series-minus the emotional hangover, but with all the red flags. Created by Lena Dunham, Too Much is not just a title-it's a warning. This show delivers a painfully honest, sometimes hilarious, and often uncomfortable portrayal of what it's like to be entangled with someone who demands constant emotional attention but offers very little in return.

The central character is everything you'd expect from someone who has made their own inner world the main event: charming, quirky, intense, unpredictable-and ultimately exhausting. At first, she seems like a vibrant person, full of life and spark. But as the series unfolds, the curtain lifts, and you begin to see the real cost of loving someone who is always on stage, who confuses drama with depth, and who hears only their own echo.

For those of us who have been through a relationship like that, Too Much is triggering in the best way. It's not exaggerated-it's accurate. The emotional overload, the one-sided conversations, the way your own needs start to dissolve in the tidal wave of theirs-it's all here. The series doesn't try to make this kind of personality cute or harmless. It shows you the emotional erosion from the inside out.

There's one scene in particular where the partner tries to express something serious, something raw, and she interrupts-not out of malice, but because her own thoughts feel more urgent. That moment gutted me. It mirrored every time I tried to speak, only to be emotionally bulldozed by someone who thought her pain mattered more than mine. It reminded me of trying to hold space for someone who couldn't hold even a sliver for me.

The writing is sharp, the performances layered, and the aesthetic intentionally messy. It captures the chaos of being in love with someone who's "too much" in all the wrong ways-not because they feel deeply or care too hard, but because they never stop needing. It's not about women being loud or passionate. It's about what happens when someone turns their emotions into weapons of control, using sensitivity as a shield for selfishness.

The show doesn't offer easy answers. It doesn't villainize the main character, nor does it let her off the hook. That tension-between sympathy and frustration-is exactly what makes Too Much land so hard. You want to care about her. You want her to grow. But you also want to shake her and say, "You're not the only one in the room."

If you've never been in a relationship like this, you might see it as quirky or sad or even romantic. But for those of us who have survived it, Too Much is a mirror we didn't ask for but maybe needed. It validates the quiet kind of heartbreak-the kind that doesn't come from yelling or betrayal, but from slowly realizing you've disappeared. That your voice has been drowned out by someone else's monologue.

This series won't be for everyone. But if you've ever loved someone who made everything about themselves, who performed vulnerability without offering real intimacy, who left you drained instead of nourished-then Too Much will hit home. And it might even help you breathe a little easier, knowing someone finally put that madness on screen.cPS remove the jewish parafernalia its annoying and insensitive given the state of the world.

Overall, a good storyline and premise but there are so many unfortunate issues with everything.

1. The way the lead female has been written as an insufferable, overly dramatic, whiny "quirky" girl is frustrating to say the least. It unfortunately leans into so many damaging stereotypes of women.

2. Costumes for lead female - what were they thinking?? Not justice for her at all.

3. Generally not the lived experience of "chubby" girls. I hate that it insinuates this is the lived experience of a confident woman who feels sexy and pulls men instantly. This is NOT the experience for 99% of larger women, and it's ridiculous to suggest so. I am so glad there is space for stories like this, where larger women get the man & enjoy sex and are confident in themselves. But I think this is overdone and almost offensive.

4. The script. Just frustrating and annoying. Tries too hard to be whimsical, quirky and candid but again, comes across as trying to hard and it's so obvious.

I'm only 3 episodes in, this is not a show to binge while scrolling. So far I love it. In between the chaotic, comedic pieces are moments of sweetness and honesty. And don't write Jessica off! Yes, she comes off as a lot, but she is smart, confident, and changing her own life! Megan Stalter is fantastic (a little close to her role in Hacks but i still have episodes to go).

Can definitely see Lena Dunham's voice in this but I wouldn't compare it to Girls. These characters are at a completely different stage in their lives.

Very disappointed to see the early negative reviews and really hope this show reaches the right audience.

I can see the Netflix boardroom conversation now: "Hey, remember how well last year's series One Day did? People loved that cute guy from The White Lotus-Leo Woodall. Let's grab another cute guy from The White Lotus-Will Sharpe this time-pair him with a quirky but relatable girl, drop them in London, throw in some hipster melancholy and emotional turbulence, and voilà! We've got our next streaming hit."

That's more or less what Too Much feels like.

The ingredients are all there: an acclaimed indie darling (Lena Dunham), a cool urban setting, plenty of yearning, offbeat dialogue, and a cast that looks great in soft lighting. But while One Day built genuine emotional weight over time, Too Much often feels like it's trying to reverse-engineer the same success rather than create something fresh.

Will Sharpe does his best with what he's given-he has a quiet magnetism that keeps things watchable-but the writing never quite gives his character the space or depth he deserves. The same goes for the lead female role, which vacillates between charming and frustrating without ever landing with much emotional impact.

There are nice moments. A few scenes have a rawness that feels honest, and the London backdrop is used well. But overall, it's a show that feels like it was made by checking boxes. It's not terrible-but it's trying too hard to be something we've already seen.

I heard so many people say they were binging this. And when i saw Andrew Scott on the picture i was sold. I tried, for four episodes, but spaced over 3 days because I quickly realised i had to have brakes. I found it extremely annoying sadly. Not for me at all. If you like non stop talking and grating personalities then maybe you'll have more luck. Possibly just the point they tried to make with the characters in this series, but its just rubbing me in all the wrong ways. And i havent seen Andrew Scott yet so thas was wildly misleading and possibly just a way to clickbait me into giving the series a chance.

It got better and better....and even had some more deeper messages to convey in the later episodes. I was sad when it came to an end! I really appreciated Felix' character which I thought was really well played.i thought it was very well scripted and acted throughout. Yes the main character is loud and a little overbearing but I understood that that was meant to be the point. I really came to love Jessica and Felix. At times it felt like a cross between Bridget Jones Diary and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Some crazy over the top characters and chaotic scenes. It really brought a smile to my face.

There are good moments because of Will Sharpe and Megan Stalter but I feel like the scripts needed another pass. Also Andrew Scott's cameo is not great - his accent eventually arrives at a Jamie Dornan type dialect. Good to see Rhea Perlman as Grandmother and Rita Wilson as the mum. I like that it's a bit different and weird and seemingly sort of biopic for Lena Dunham. Just feel like the script needed an editor who could say no or be ruthless and cut out flabby stuff. I don't mind the series. It's always good to see Will Sharpe in a production and his character gets more interesting as we meet his mother and sister. Anyhow, worth a try.

I love Megan Stalter in 'Hacks'. She's a genius...so, what is this? It should be a vehicle for her considerable talents, but instead it's unfunny, unfocused and improbable. It was just plain boring for most of the episodes I could bear to get through. And it suggests that it's going to subvert American stereotypes about England and ends up reinforcing them. Such a waste. What is Will Sharpe doing in this? Again, he's a massive talent but he woefully underused and the lack of chemistry between him and Staler is painfully visible on screen. How did something so disappointing not bet challenged more in development?

I really wanted to love this. I loved Girls. I really felt Lena Dunham was the voice of a generation and I wanted this to be every bit as good. But it wasn't. In fact it was bad, REALLY BAD. Like student film or GCSE drama devised piece bad.

Firstly, Dunham can't write British dialogue at all, or British characters. All the British characters lacked well, character, and they also lacked nuance, originality and believability. They were all tired tropes. Some of their dialogue was just awful. Especially in the work scenes. Poor Richard E Grant did his best with terrible dialogue but he had nothing to work with. None of the work team characters came across like any real British person or spoke like any real British person. You could see they knew the show was going to flop.

Add to that the two leads were just unlikeable (and I've never disliked Will Sharpe in anything but this loser musician character is just plain unlikeable and you could see Sharpe's heart wasn't;t really in it) and the female lead character is both unlikeable and irritating in the extreme. It was hard to care about them, their romance or anything really. They also had zero chemistry which didn't help.

The show is also unbelievably slow and devoid of any plot. So no character, no plot, no originality and absolutely no Com in the Rom. I didn't laugh once. Didn't even crack a smile.

The whole thing felt off, like a mish mash of Baby Reindeer, Notting Hill and wanting to be but totally failing to be the brilliant Shrill. But Shrill had charm, nuance, actual comedy and pulled the heart strings. And a lead actress who was incredibly watchable. This does nothing. Didn't make me feel anything except infuriated about wasting my time watching it!

I'm sure off the back of the success of Girls Netflix just said off you go Lena, make whatever you want to make and never gave a single note. They must be regretting that now.

Netflix have had a string of British hits lately but this sadly is not one of them.

The premise of this show - moving to a different country for a fresh start - is always an interesting setup, and the meet-cute early on was genuinely cool and believable. It pulled me in right away and made me curious to see how things would unfold.

However, the main character, Jessica (played by Megan Stalter), is likely to divide viewers, and unfortunately, I landed on the negative side. While some people loved her performance, I found the character mostly insufferable in the first half. Jessica came off as self-absorbed, whiny, and often made her own life more difficult. Later in the series, I did begin to feel some sympathy for her, especially after we get a bit of backstory involving her ex and see her becoming more caring toward Felix. Still, I never quite warmed up to Stalter's acting. Her interpretation of the character often felt strange, with facial expressions I couldn't quite read. One scene in particular - where she takes ketamine - stood out as especially cringeworthy for me.

Felix was unrealistically cute, but I guess that's part of the rom-com fantasy. I never really noticed Will Sharpe before, even in shows like The White Lotus, but in Too Much, his acting was outstanding and he was perfect for the role. He looked perfectly "not put together." I loved the messy hair, his outfits, the nail polish, everything. I loved that his character was lost, damaged, vulnerable, but also understanding, healing and sweet.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the side characters. Auggie was a great addition - quirky, but not in an annoying way - and I appreciated how his friendship with Felix helped reveal more depth in Felix's character. I also loved the brief appearances from Stephen Fry, Naomi Watts, Andrew Scott, and Kit Harington. And while Adwoa Aboah only had a tiny role, so I can't really judge her acting from this, I have to say I'm completely obsessed with her voice.

While the show tried to be witty, most of the jokes didn't quite land for me. That might be because English isn't my first language, so it's possible some of the humor didn't translate. Still, at some point, the characters and the storyline started to feel a bit too stereotypical and cliché. Also, unfortunately, the ending felt extremely rushed.

I have been waiting for this and Lena has delivered, the writing is top notch, fantastic casting overall but especially Meg Stalter, she is the perfect heroine for this smart and funny yet romantic and thoughtful story, it also contains so many clever cultural references to previous work that shaped us as women, it is truly a rom com we all deserve in the XXI century... I hope it gets the credit it so much deserves unlike girls which in the moment was met with so much unfair and misogynistic hate, I will definitely rewatch many times just as I did with girls, and I hope this you becomes as iconic as her previous work, you go Lena!

The biggest issue for me was the main character. She comes across as incredibly over-the-top and grating. It's frustrating that the "big girl" trope still leans so heavily on being loud, overly dramatic, and supposedly funny, while also trying to present her as someone the audience should root for romantically. Her personality was exhausting, and it had nothing to do with her appearance (though the heavy rouge didn't help).

Felix, on the other hand, was a standout. He was kind, grounded, and genuinely likable. Frankly, she didn't treat him well, and he deserved better. I really wanted to enjoy this show because I was a fan of Girls but the writing just didn't land for me this time.

I'm in ep 6 and loving it! In cap 5 we understand more about Jessica and all the things she is keeping inside. I found her very complex but, are we a little bit of that? I think so.

The only thing that worries me is the drugs. Call me grandma, but can people take drugs so easily like that? I mean, there is no a little worried about what could happen? That's my worries.

I like the actors, and others I recognize from Girls, loved this!

I love the writing from Lena, I hope she keep bringing more and more episodes. I think that she has an amazing introspective about the young and complex woman's mind.

Maybe it's because i'm from a country in Europe and the protagonist is the exact stereotype of an american girl we hate here. I don't understand why the whole show has to be so dramatic without showing a reason. I can't get into the character's head to understand why she is behaving like that, she just seems annoying to me. No hate to the actress, she's gorgeous, i just don't like the way her character is written. Also some episodes seem very slow, like the plot is not moving forward and i'm bored. Also she has these dramatic episodes, screaming, where she is completely wrong and somehow it's okay?! It all seems very unrealistic but not interesting enough to keep me watching.

I really enjoyed the show, it felt familiar, then lo and behold I find out it's written by Lena Dunham, so of-course it felt familiar, her style is unique, unhinged and raw. 10 episodes was just right.

I believe this will do for Will Sharpe what Girls did for Adam Driver.

Some scenes really hit hard. Some moments were heart breaking, especially the flash back episode of Jessica and Zev's relationship.

I enjoyed all the characters overall, Megan Stalter (Jessica) was charming, I've seen her in Hacks so I was excited to see a show where she's the main character, I especially liked the French Polly, she made me laugh out loud.

Loved the ending too.

I impulsively clicked on this one today. I went into it completely blind. It was almost like watching a speeding train that you can't stop. I thought I was getting a cute story of an American girl moving to London. I did get that, but also got way more. The main character was a big girl with an ugly wardrobe and actually a bigger mouth. She's gone through a life changing breakup and it's made her a bit messed up. Or more than a bit. I was unfamiliar with the actress that was the main character, but appreciated the awkwardness of her personality in both her personal life and with her new romance. Her new romance was a London indie singer with problems of his own. I wasn't familiar with this actor, but I think we're going to be seeing a lot more from him as far as his acting career. He was certainly memorable. There's a whole group of important to the story characters to enjoy or even dislike here. This was a series-another thing I was surprised by as I thought initially that I was watching a movie. I watched all ten episodes today. There was no cliffhanger which makes me wonder if there will be another season. I think it ended perfectly and should be the end of the story. Just my opinion.

This show is tough to get through. It's essentially a loose biographical version of how Lena Dunham met her current husband while trying to recapture the amazing HBO show that was Girls. The main character is played by an actress who's great in Hacks, but she might as well have been played by Lena, she would've done a better job at playing herself. So many great actors in this show, too, which desperately tries to elevate the story, but i have suspicions that they felt obligated to sign-on to the show as a friendly gesture, or they had some downtime between projects. Just do yourself a favor and (re)watch Girls.
