‘Too Much’ thoughts, Season 1, Episode 9: ‘Enough Actually’

Will she head back to him, or is Lena Dunham going to give us a rom-com with an unhappy ending?

Beats me, man. People often forget that though Dunham’s own character on Girls, Hannah, got a bit of a grace note, the show’s verdict on its protagonists was bitingly cynical. I wouldn’t put it past her to craft a five-hour America-dreams-of-England rom-com with a down ending, even if it is based on the real-life happy ending she found with her own husband, the show’s co-creator Luis Felber. But I doubt it. I think we’re headed for a kind of anti-Girls, in which the creator of a show all about how grand young romances are dysfunctional and doomed throws her lot in with love, actually.

I reviewed the penultimate episode of Too Much for Decider.
