I Wasn’t Planning to Watch This New Netflix Show—Now After One Scene, I’m Telling Everyone to Stream it

Looking for your next easy-to-watch, laugh-out-loud rom-com series? Let me point you toward Too Much, a new Netflix gem created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber that embraces chaos, cringe and comedy in the best possible way.

The series stars Megan Stalter as Jessica, a heartbroken thirty-something New Yorker who decides—very impulsively—to move to London after a breakup leaves her emotionally wrecked. It takes less than five minutes into the first episode before my friends and I were already cackling and the laughs barely let up through the end credits.

The episode opens with a bang: Jessica wakes up in bed, sees a video on social media and instantly spirals. Then we rewind one month earlier to see how she ended up here. The flashback shows her sneaking into her ex’s apartment and catching him in bed with an influencer named Wendy, played by none other than Emily Ratajkowski. Their exchange is hilariously unhinged (including a play on that viral Wicked moment) and EmRata says, “I’ll hold space for your feelings.” That alone makes it worth the watch. This whole scene, in fact, is what got me fully invested. The comedic timing is just truly chef's kiss.

Reeling from the betrayal, Jessica packs up and moves to London to start fresh. But the emotional unraveling continues, featuring all-too-relatable behavior: doom-scrolling, crying, stalking her ex’s new partner and a full-on meltdown after seeing he ended up proposing to Wendy.
