Too Much (Lena Dunham, Netflix) TV Show

From Lena Dunham. Starring Megan Stalter (Hacks) and Will Sharpe (The White Lotus season 2, A Real Pain). 10 episode season releases July 10 on Netflix.

A New Yorker whose relationship just ended abruptly moves to London to try to live out her British Rom-Com fantasy and finds the reality to be much different.

 

It took me until the Gracie Abrams song to realize this wasn’t gonna be wrapped in like 10 layers of irony or absurdism. Looks like a pretty down the middle rom com type of thing, which will be interesting to see Stalter star in

The smash cut to spitting in each other’s mouths was quite the breakneck tone shift lol

 

Staller and Sharpe are great, but the dialogue/humor in this so far isn't hitting that well.

 

my wife pulled the plug after episode 2. had a few laughs just ambiently listening in the background but overall didn’t seem great

 

Honestly pretty excited to watch this based on how much love I still have for Girls even if LD has said some questionable stuff in real life. Need to resub to Netflix though first lol
