What happens when a New York hot mess with a suitcase full of trauma crash-lands in London and falls for a charmingly dysfunctional British musician? You get Too Much. Yes that’s right Netflix’supcoming romantic whirlwind Too Much proves love can be just as chaotic across the pond. From awkward meet-cutes to pub bathroom pep talks, the trailer delivers a deliciously unfiltered look at dating disasters, emotional meltdowns, and the gloriously messy art of starting over.
Too Much stars Megan Stalter as Jessica, a mid-thirties New Yorker whose life is unraveling after a devastating breakup she thought was endgame. A classic workaholic with a flair for self-sabotage, she’s burned so many bridges in the city that even her favourite bagel shop feels haunted. Desperate for a reset, she flees to London with plans to channel her inner Brontë sister and embrace a quiet, reclusive life. But solitude takes a backseat when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a charming mess of red flags with a magnetic pull. Their chemistry is undeniable, even if it’s more combustible than romantic.
Jessica makes a chaotic entrance in the trailer by smashing a window and breaking into her ex-boyfriend’s apartment, where he now lives with his new flame, screaming, “Leaving me is the worst thing anyone’s ever done.” After that emotional meltdown, she skips town for London, hoping for a clean slate. There, she meets Felix, who’s performing in a local bar. When she confesses her heartbreak, he cheekily offers, “Do you want me to murder them?” Jessica deadpans, “Yeah. I want you to cut their heads off and sew them back on.” From there, their connection sparks and combusts as they dive headfirst into a whirlwind of flirtation, fights, and messy entanglements.
The trailer revels in the messy realities of adult dating, post‑breakup explosions, cringe‑worthy confessions (“50 UTIs a year?”), and unpredictable emotional oscillations. All delivered with humour that’s both sharp and deeply human.
Geek Verdict:
The trailer promises a rom‑com that leans into the beautifully awkward absurdity of real life and cross‑cultural love. It balances raunchy humour with emotional depth, delivering a story about starting over. One that’s messy, heartfelt, and very, very human.
