It’s here! Netflix’s new romantic comedy, Too Much, premiered on July 10 on the streaming platform. The series, produced by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber, is already generating buzz among viewers; if you haven’t watched it yet, here’s what it’s about, who stars in it, and everything you need to know.
What is Netflix’s Too Much about?
Too Much tells the story of Jessica, a New York career-driven thirty-something who, after a painful breakup, accepts a new job and relocates to London seeking a fresh start and a way to move on from her past; however, everything changes when she meets Felix in her new city—a laid-back musician who prefers to sleep until noon.
As the plot unfolds, Jessica discovers that both love and the city are far from the romantic ideal she imagined, and London is nothing like the Notting Hill fantasy she had in mind.
