Netflix romcom hailed 'greatest ever' available to stream this July

A brand new romantic comedy series already being described by some critics as Netflix's "greatest ever romcom" is set to arrive on the streaming platform this month.

Too Much, created by and starring Lena Dunham, lands on Netflix on July 10, marking Dunham's return to television after the success of her Emmy-winning hit Girls.

The ten-episode series follows the story of a young American woman who moves to London after a difficult breakup in New York, hoping for a fresh start. In the city, she finds herself navigating cultural clashes, friendships, and a brand-new romance with a charismatic British partner.

Billed as a sharp, funny and heartfelt look at modern love across cultures, Too Much is already generating huge buzz for its witty scripts and diverse, star-studded cast. Leading the ensemble are Megan Stalter (Hacks) and Will Sharpe (The White Lotus), with high-profile appearances from Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Scott, Emily Ratajkowski, and Stephen Fry.

The anticipation for Too Much is so strong that some reviewers have called it "Netflix's greatest ever romcom," praising its smart dialogue, modern sensibilities and Lena Dunham's honest, relatable writing style.

Set largely in vibrant, contemporary London, the show promises to blend moments of awkward humour with a genuine exploration of what it means to start over in an unfamiliar city.

There are reports of standout supporting roles and memorable cameos, giving it a rich and authentic feel that's expected to appeal to fans of Girls as well as newcomers looking for something fresh.

The series is part of Netflix's packed July line-up, which also includes the return of The Sandman for a second season, the wild documentary series Trainwreck, and the dramatic Brazilian political docuseries Apocalypse in the Tropics.

However, Too Much is emerging as the crown jewel among them, with early viewers hailing it as a perfect summer binge: funny, moving, and full of heart.

Dunham, who is both writing and directing episodes, has spoken about how the story draws on her own experiences of adapting to life in London, infusing the show with a personal and authentic voice. Fans of modern, honest storytelling - with a good dose of culture clash and messy romance - will likely find Too Much unmissable.

If you're after a warm, modern love story that reflects the ups and downs of relationships today, make sure to catch Too Much when it arrives on Netflix on July 10.
