A new Netflix series is leaving viewers in the 'feels' - so much so that viewers are joking that the 'hilarious' show should 'come with a warning'.
If you're a fan of romantic comedies then you should look no further than the latest to come out of New York, and the brainchild of someone who has worked on sets under Quentin Tarantino, Ryan Murphy and The Simpsons' Matt Groening.
I'm talking of Lena Dunham, a name you likely have never heard of, but the 39-year-old has cropped up in some of Hollywood's greatest productions - and when you're rubbing shoulders with the best, you're bound to have learned a thing or two.
She's teamed together with her husband Luis Felber, a musical composer and writing newbie, to bring one of Netflix's hottest new mini-series that features The White Lotus star Will Sharpe, as Felix Remen.

The show follows Jessica Salmon - played by Megan Stalter, who goes through a rough break-up and the New Yorker then sets out to move to London on her own.
After having followed through with her ambition to jet across the Atlantic Ocean, the workaholic soon meets Felix - a laidback musician who has a tendency to sleep in till noon. It causes her to reconsider her love life.
“When I first started coming to the UK for work … I thought to myself, ‘I want to write something about the experience of being a foreigner here, and the fantasies we have of [London] versus the realities', ” Dunham explained.
"Then when I met my husband, Luis, I felt like I was experiencing all of that, but in the context of a relationship."
The show, which boasts of having the producers of Notting Hill on board, is called Too Much... and it appears to be a fitting name, with viewers taking to Twitter to share that the show really is too much.
One user posted: "Episode 5 of Too Much should come with a warning for all of the emotions and feels you’re about to experience watching it."
While a second added: "I can tell Too Much on Netflix is already my jam 5 mins in. A new binge show."
With a third writing: "I loveeed Netflix #TooMuch especially to have such a gorgeous, brilliant, chaotic, hilarious plus-size lead whose story has NOTHING to do with her weight."
Before adding that it's a 'breath of fresh air'.
But not everyone is a huge fan of the 10-part mini-series, with one person slamming the show as being 'annoying'.
On the same social media platform, they penned: "I tried watching Too Much but it's a bunch of annoying characters trying to be quirky and cutesy pie."
