'Too Much' follows Jessica, who relocates to London after ending a five-year relationship with Zev. In her new life, she meets Felix, juxtaposing her struggles with self-perception against the backdrop of Zev quickly moving on with a model. The show's title stems from a compliment that Dunham's husband gave her, shaping its narrative. Dunham's reflections on her past relationship with Antonoff reveal her complex feelings, particularly in relation to the perception of beauty and normalcy in romance.
The show follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), who moves to London after a devastating breakup with her boyfriend of five years, Zev (Michael Zegen). There, she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a leather-clad indie musician who doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom.
During the press tour, Dunham revealed Felber was the one who inspired the show's name, after once telling Dunham she was "too much"- which he meant as a compliment, meaning "just enough and a little bit more," though she initially took it as an insult.
In 2018, Dunham spoke to The Cut about Antonoff's new relationship with Kohl: "I thought I was kind of proving weird girls can have love too," Dunham said. "And now he's dating somebody who looks regular and normal and like girls are supposed to look."
