The scene in the third episode is typical of the entire series: the British indie -musician Felix (Will Sharp, “White Lotus”) shows his new American friend Jessica (Megan Stalter, “Hax”) The Paddington film.
While his tears in his eyes, she sits next to him and scrolls through Tikox from the groom of her ex. It is hardly clear that Felix does not notice how Jess watches a video with sound on his mobile phone. In turn, it is shown as an American cliche, completely focused on its own world.
Felix and Jess are the central main characters in the new series of Lena Danham “Too Most Large”. After an unsightly separation, Jess moves to London to get a distance from New York. Felix meets her on the first evening. After she accidentally lights up with a candle and goes to the hospital where he visits her, you are more or less than a couple.
The scene described at the beginning shows why a series that moves like Rome-com does not work. What both find together is not entirely clear during ten episodes.
After the great success of Girls (2012–2017), a series in which it was very specific to portray the life of a certain millennial mile and still remain timeless, it was a long time with respect to Lena Dunham, which was also the author, director and main accentuity of the Cult series. She wrote and produced several films and series and had several guest performances, but they flew mainly under the radar, were not a critic and/or an audience of success.
“Too many,” like the large production of Netflix with many famous actors (in support of roles includes Andrew Scott, Jessica Alba, Raya Perlman and Emily Rataykovsky), now should be your return.
Unnecessary farce
Unfortunately, the series fails at all levels. It works as if Danham wanted Emily in Paris as a drama like a shiny. “Emily” is a lot of nerves, but does not perceive a little serious in all their stunning; “Fleabag” focuses on the cosmic, maximum heroine associated with the ego in the center, but makes it an apparent open. Unlike “too much.”
There are a number of unnecessary farce elements, only in order to insert the storyline for cruelty to children, but they are not deepened. Or: One evening, Jess goes to a party in Coca -Cola at his boss, the next day she has so little idea of drug use that she stunes her whole face in mountain ketamine, and then runs through the zoop without cleaning.
Much is just written. For example, Jess takes answers to the groom Tikoks, which she shares only in her personal profile, and yes, exactly what you can think about with the video with the video.
“Too many” not only fights the fact that the series cannot decide who she wants to be, the characters also remain very superficial, but also wood, as well as the performances of the actors. Samana Megan Stalter manages to breathe into her mainly stubborn figure. Especially in the moments when Jess Hannah Horvat, the main character in the “girls”, reminds you that in the game of Stalter is not available both at the depths and on Edgin to make her character more complicated.
While Girls is a series that was converted for several years Gen Z, because it is one of the best drama of the 21st century, “too much” looks like Lena Dunham lost her spark.
But maybe this is a feminist achievement: where men were reserved in order for men to continue to write and produce mediocre for bad series and films with great tampas after success, women can do it today.
