Lena Dunham is making her return to TV with Netflix’s “Too Much,” which comes with a soundtrack perfect for both crash outs and healing moments.
“Too Much” follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), an American who moves to London after a devastating breakup and meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a charming British musician — mirroring Dunham’s own experience of meeting her husband, British musician Luis Felber. So, it’s only fitting that Felber, who also serves as a writer and executive producer on the show, heads up music alongside Matt Allchin.
From party hits like “London Bridge” by Fergie, “Tap In” by Saweetie and “Girls” by the Dare to tender ballads like “Praying” by Kesha and “Slow Like Honey” by Fiona Apple, “Too Much” has something for everyone.
