With Too Much she’s done it again. .... Gleeful silliness can be found in each one of the 10 episodes. But the real marvel here is the performances.

Funnier and more of a rom-com, “Too Much” largely isn’t too much in the way “Girls” was, thanks to Dunham leaning into a lighter tone and the likability of star Megan Stalter. ... Stalter is a riveting performer.

This charming, idiosyncratic show preserves Dunham’s gift for effortlessly distinct, joke-laden dialogue while evolving the “Girls” ethos for a new phase of life.

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.

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.

Too Much is nothing if not candid, analyzing its leads’ red flags with the clear-eyed empathy of a seasoned therapist. But it struggles to lose itself in its emotions, yielding a romance that’s sweet enough to like but too cool to fall head over heels for.

Dunham aims for her trademark realism – but without Girls’ inherent bleakness it just makes things tonally jarring for the viewer. It abandons any thoughts of innovation and hits cliche after cliche.

I really liked the first half of the season, but the second half failed a bit. ****/2025/07/14/too-much-review-lena-dunham-does-it-again/

I've only watched the first 3 episodes - so, I feel bad writing a review - but, it is going to take a long time before I get around to watching all of season 1.
-
The issue for me is that I really like Meg Stalter as an actor - but, only in small amounts. Meg Stalter as a lead actor is "too much" Meg Stalter.
-
And, besides that - my evaluation is that "Too Much" is a medium quality, traditional RomCom. The writing is just OK.
