Season 1 Review:
It’s hard not to say that Netflix has another Nobody Wants This, albeit a quirkier and more unconventional one, on their hands. Thanks to Stalter and Dunham, Too Much is a winning comedy that will remind you to adjust your expectations for finding a match, but keep your heart open.

Season 1 Review:
“Too Much” doesn’t entirely abandon Dunham’s impulse to make her lead character an extension of herself, and if you’re not a fan of hers, this may be a barrier to entry. In this case, it should not be, and I say this as someone who doesn’t particularly like Lena Dunham for a variety of reasons. .... Dunham’s smartest move was choosing Stalter to be this comedy’s voice.

Season 1 Review:
When Jess and Felix spend all night watching movies and talking about themselves, it gives Dunham a chance to do some of her finest writing: funny, natural, a touch too honest and deceptively intimate. And there’s real heat here thanks to Stalter and Sharpe’s chemistry.

Season 1 Review:
The emotional core of Too Much, two people trying to connect in their 30s with the weight of past hurt heavy on their shoulders, is moving and messy and compelling. And it’s done well enough that, by the end, I had almost forgiven the fact that the Brits-vs.-Americans shtick was, for me, too much. Too Much works best when it’s not emulating the fish-out-of-water approach of Emily in Paris. Let it just be, and we may just have our long-awaited successor to Girls.

Season 1 Review:
She excels at short-form storytelling. The smaller the unit, the sparklier her writing gets. Her episodes are plays. Taken scene by scene, her writing is even better: rangy and unexpected, and filled with the surprise pleasures her creative anarchy — the more detached it is from the pressures of plot — makes possible. That remains true here, even when her longer arcs deliver more predictable (or conventional, or simply less satisfying) fare.

Season 1 Review:
The pacing isn’t always smooth, and a few character arcs lose their tether to the Earth, but Dunham delivers enough salient insights about self-acceptance and sharp jokes about, well, everything to elevate her third TV series above many of the medium’s typical love stories.

Season 1 Review:
The more I’ve come back to the show, the more its slack, unromantic approach to love looks intentional. Jess and Felix couple up not because they’re giddy with feeling, drunk on proximity and intimacy and connection, but because each offers something specific that the other person needs. .... In the place where the show’s heart should be is instead pure pragmatism: This is love for a cold climate.

Season 1 Review:
Whether with Felix or on her own, Jessica is a bit all over the map, with her behavior frequently feeling like it’s meant to meet the needs of a particular scene or joke rather than as a consistent throughline for the season. Maybe this is on Dunham as writer-director, or on Stalter, or a bit of both, but that inconsistency leaves Too Much feeling like less than the sum of its impressive parts.

Season 1 Review:
At its best, Too Much offers a candid portrait of modern dating and the challenges of coming to terms with trauma. At its worst, the series loses its charm when it deviates from the main pair to focus on side characters and celebrity cameo appearances that detract rather than add to the story.

Season 1 Review:
As you might expect if you know Dunham’s work, it is sharp, knowing and often funny. But it’s also a self-consciously hip romcom with the whiniest leading man. By the end, I didn’t care if they lived happily ever after or not, as long as they weren’t doing it in my earshot.

Season 1 Review:
“Too Much” is nowhere near as thorough or tricky [as "Girls"], and it seems happiest in its most pat moments. It’s as diaphanous as one of Jessica’s nightgowns, weirdly long but barely there. Though Felix and Jessica’s relationship moves at warp speed, the show itself does not. Its 10 episodes, which range in length from 31-56 minutes, meander and repeat themselves until the season re-accelerates at the very end.
