We know that when Netflix is delivering television shows, they are doing their best to give us ones that we (the general public) can relate to. That’s the whole point of movies and television – an escape, but also the ability to believe that happy endings can happen.
Well, at least that is this writers thoughts.
But then there is a television show that comes from the mind of Lena Dunham and we know that it’s going to be a little/lot messy (we’ve seen girls) and that isn’t a bad thing. We appreciate things that aren’t tied up in pretty bows. And the latest thing not tied up in a bow?
Too Much.
Created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber, Too Much tells the story of, “Jessica (Megan Stalter) is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behaviour, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister. But when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe) – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language? From the creator of Girls and the producers of Love Actually, Too Much is an ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.“
