Lena Dunham does not want you to comb through her new Netflix series, Too Much, searching for clues about the real events that may have inspired the rom-com’s storylines. And yet, as Savannah Walsh writes, the show is littered with bits and pieces that seem clearly ripped from Dunham’s actual life—from the macro (her whirlwind romance with a charming British musician) to the micro (the sad story of the rescue dog Dunham shared with ex Jack Antonoff). For those who just can’t help themselves, here’s a tongue-in-cheek guide to all the ways Too Much may have been inspired by its cocreator’s actual breakup, friendships, and eventual marriage.
Elsewhere in HWD, we present the cast of American Love Story, so you can decide just how closely they resemble John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette, and the rest of their inner circle; Rosie O’Donnell isn’t afraid of Donald Trump’s threats; Rihanna brings her very fashionable toddlers to the premiere of her new film, Smurfs; and, one day before the Emmy nominations, you’re invited to reread our predictions in every category. |
