There’s a lot of buzz around Lena Dunham’s new show Too Much, which is set to launch on Netflix on 10 July. The British series, which spans ten episodes, follows Jessica, a workaholic New Yorker who comes to the UK following a devastating break-up, only to find her unexpected match in musician Felix (The White Lotus’ Will Sharpe).

Inspired by Lena’s own experiences with her husband Luis Felber, Too Much – which features cameos from Grazia favourite Andrew Scott, Kit Harington, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora and Jennifer Saunders – depict dating and falling in love in its raw, messy form.
