Too Much may have only arrived on Netflix on Thursday 10 July, though the rom-com from Girls creator Lena Dunham is already climbing its way up the Netflix UK top show rankings.
A 10 part series starring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe, Too Much centres on the story of Jessica, an American who moves to London to escape her tumultuous life, with her intending to live out her life in the UK capital in solitude “like a Bronte sister”, as per Netflix’s synopsis.
Instead, she quickly finds a connection with low-key Felix who seemingly leads her into more trouble. Ultimately, the pair have to reconcile whether Americans and Brits have the same love language and whether the two are really right for one another.

Though what really stood out through the series was how impeccable the Too Much soundtrack is, featuring everyone from Kendrick Lamar to Fergie to JADE.
It’s little wonder the series tracklist is so exceptional given Felix’s musical background in the show in which we see him performing solo gigs around London. In fact, the premise for Too Much is loosely inspired by Dunham’s experience meeting Luis Felber when she relocated the UK. In an interview with Variety Lena explained “It’s certainly not quote-unquote based on a true story, but like everything I do, there is an element of my own life that I can’t help but inject.”
With appearances from the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Kit Harington and Jessica Alba, the show is as star-studded as it is addictive, with a stellar soundtrack to boot.
Oh, and did we mention that to honour the new series we also got this incredible new music video for Fergie’s ‘London Bridge’ which sees Fergie and Megan Statler straight vibing? You can watch it for yourself below:
