What is Too Much about?
The series follows Jessica (Stalter), a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties who is "reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows".

"But when she meets Felix (Sharpe) – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even when it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?"
The series is billed as an "ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is".

Meanwhile, her co-star Will added: "It has such an awareness of rom-com … but it also does have some rougher edges. That makes the sweeter aspects all the more powerful, because there's an honesty to it."
