Too Much, the 10-episode Netflix series from Lena Dunham, invites a series of unflattering comparisons to the Girls auteur’s earlier work.

There’s the shared cast (Dunham, show-stealer Andrew Rannells, Rita Wilson, and beloved character actor Richard Grant all make reappearances); the rapid-fire, zeitgeisty dialogue (Dunham wrote or co-wrote every episode); the messy, socially dysfunctional, yet ultimately lovable heroine at the center of it all (Meg Stalter, the social-media comedic phenom and Dunham’s on-screen avatar and somewhat eerie doppelganger).
