Lena Dunham's new Netflix series has moments of hilarity, great chemistry between its leads, and snappy star cameos. But its main character isn't quite sure who she is - so the show isn't either
Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe star in a London-set love story co-created by the 'Girls' mastermind and husband Luis Felber, inspired by their own whirlwind courtship.
Billed as a messy, modern rom-com, "Too Much" follows Jessica (played by TikTok star and "Hacks" standout Megan Stalter), a New Yorker in her mid-30s coping with the disastrous end of her seven-year relationship.
Wendy ends the conversation on a high note, telling Jessica she hopes she can find the perfect person for her.

When she says that it’s too late for them, Wendy encourages her to forgive him, which sends Jessica off to the races to find Felix.
