Movies that match Jessica, the protagonist of 'Too Much' (Netflix)

Netflix’s hit series Too Much, created by Lena Dunham (best known for Girls, on HBO Max), keeps winning over more and more fans. Starring Megan Stalter — also praised for Hacks, on HBO Max — the show follows the charming Jessica through an emotional journey between New York and London. The cast features special appearances by Will Sharpe (The White Lotus), Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Adèle Exarchopoulos (Zero Fucks Given), Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), and Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers), among others. Jessica is obsessed with intense romances, existential dilemmas, and love stories set under cloudy British skies. She quotes Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility, cries over tragic endings, and finds comfort in tales of strong, imperfect, and dream-filled women. In this list, we’ve gathered the films she loves — or would absolutely binge during one of her emotional marathons: period dramas, dramedies, and modern love stories full of soul, humor, and melancholy.
