Its protagonist is Jessica (Megan Stalter), an "obsessive, impulsive, neurotic and insecure" New Yorker who spends far too much time on her phone. Following a bad break-up, she moves to London and promptly falls in love with a Brit – a trajectory curiously similar to Dunham's own.

In Lena Dunham's new Netflix comedy, "Too Much," sex isn't treated in the way it is in the Victorian fantasies the show's protagonist Jessica (Megan Stalter) adores. There's no Mr. Darcy walking wistfully through the morning mist when she relocates her life from New York City to London following a break up.
