Demasiado

I was waiting for this, hoping it would be as fresh as Girls used to be, but instead, it's surprisingly boring, dreadfully boring.

Surprisingly unfunny or trying too hard to be funny.

Those office characters-we've see them in every Netflix show that has an office.

There's nothing fresh about the show.

The Girls had such brilliant dialogue that if you missed any part of it, you were losing something; here, the conversations mean nothing to the viewer-they're empty, just private babble that makes you feel like you're wasting your time watching it.

Oh, and the main character feels like an extension of her character from Hacks - is that intentional?

Nope, just not it. Could not get in to the main character. I find her too be very egoistic, way too dramatic and very self-centred.

As a European it is way too much American exaggerated drama about feelings and making it all about you.

First episode started out strong but just didn't get picked up after. The obsessive part with the ex wavering on way too long during the season. With in the end kind of soft boring ending.

Did like a lot of the acting and the different characters, but the script can use a little less of the almost hateful main character.

Definitely way "too much". Would I recommend, no. Would I watch again, no. Would I wish for my time back, YES!

I can see the Netflix boardroom conversation now: "Hey, remember how well last year's series One Day did? People loved that cute guy from The White Lotus-Leo Woodall. Let's grab another cute guy from The White Lotus-Will Sharpe this time-pair him with a quirky but relatable girl, drop them in London, throw in some hipster melancholy and emotional turbulence, and voilà! We've got our next streaming hit."

That's more or less what Too Much feels like.

The ingredients are all there: an acclaimed indie darling (Lena Dunham), a cool urban setting, plenty of yearning, offbeat dialogue, and a cast that looks great in soft lighting. But while One Day built genuine emotional weight over time, Too Much often feels like it's trying to reverse-engineer the same success rather than create something fresh.

Will Sharpe does his best with what he's given-he has a quiet magnetism that keeps things watchable-but the writing never quite gives his character the space or depth he deserves. The same goes for the lead female role, which vacillates between charming and frustrating without ever landing with much emotional impact.

There are nice moments. A few scenes have a rawness that feels honest, and the London backdrop is used well. But overall, it's a show that feels like it was made by checking boxes. It's not terrible-but it's trying too hard to be something we've already seen.

So many wasted talents in this yawn of a comedy. Will Sharp is the reason for two of the three stars, hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things.

The ensemble characters are a bunch of stereotypes, choosen to complete a checklist of visibility.

The biggest problem is the total unlikeability of the main character. You really stop caring about her crash life in London very quickly. The "funny" social situations are so contrived they become just silly. The written tries too hard to cover issues, emotions etc.

A special mention for Jennifer Saunders playing an unfunny version of Abfab Eddie

It tries to too hard and fails dramatically, if you want to see a well written female lead comedy watch Fleabag (or even Miranda)

The main character jokes around and makes looks so much that it's not even believable as a real person. Even when she's supposed to be heartbroken it is a farce. Cringy. I'd like some character with substance. No one in the world acts the way these characters do but the main character more so than others. No substance at all just one "joke" after the other.
