Netflix is Too Much's new comedy

Thirteen years after Girls put her on the Hollywood map, Lena Dunham is back with a new television series, Too Much, that’s once again inspired by her real-life experiences. This time around, the eight-time Emmy nominee has teamed up with British musician Luis Felber, her husband of nearly four years, to create what she describes as a classic “wherever you go, there you are” love story.

The 10-episode series, which is now streaming on Netflix, follows Jessica Salmon (played by Hacks actor and comedian Megan Stalter), a New Yorker who moves to London after a painful breakup with her boyfriend of seven years, Zev (Michael Zegen).

Not long after her arrival in the British capital, Jessica begins a relationship with a local punk musician, Felix (Will Sharpe of The White Lotus fame). By all accounts, Felix is dreamy, attentive and charming. Still, Jessica finds herself driven to the brink of self-sabotage by the Instagram posts of Zev’s new fiancée, Wendy Jones (Emily Ratajkowski), who happens to be a social media influencer.
