5 best shows to watch like 'Too Much' on Netflix, HBO Max and more
The streaming service dropped this new show on July 10, and it has landed decent reviews (81% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes). TG's Malcolm McMillan said the show was "one of [his] favorite binge-watches this year" so far, and it's just recently crept into the Netflix top 10 shows list, too.
With that in mind, it felt like a good time to highlight a selection of follow-up shows like "Too Much" for when fans get to the end of the whirlwind romance between Jessica (Meg Stalter) and Felix (Will Sharpe). Here are five shows like "Too Much" I think you should stream after watching bingeing it and where you can watch them right now.
Jordan Weiss's "Dollface" is, like "Too Much," a show that sees our protagonist (Jules, played by Kat Dennings) being unlucky in love.
After being abruptly dumped by her longtime boyfriend, web designer Jules sets out to reconnect with her two best friends (Brenda Song, Shay Mitchell) and reenter the world beyond her relationship ... with a little help from her out-there imagination.
I streamed both seasons shortly after season 2 premiered in 2022, and came away having thoroughly enjoyed this offbeat watch. Sadly, it was one of many series kicked off Hulu & Disney Plus during a "cost-cutting" initiative, but it's worth seeking out all the same.

"Love Life" was one of the first things I thought about revisiting the minute I finished "Too Much", and it definitely feels like a worthy follow-up.
Created for HBO Max by Sam Boyd, "Love Life" is an anthology show that follows a different person each season as they navigate the highs and lows of modern dating. The first series revolves around Darby Carter (Anna Kendrick), while the second follows Marcus Watkins (William Jackson Harper).
Similar to "Dollface," "Love Life" was removed from its original streaming home, but, at the time of writing, it's actually available to stream for free. If you were on the hunt for a new show and didn't want to shell out for another streamer, this would be my pick.

If you were on Netflix at some point towards the end of 2024, then you must have come across "Nobody Wants This," the streamer's acclaimed, incredibly charming series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. And if you haven't streamed it yet, prepare to fall head over heels for Erin Foster's brilliant rom-com.
"Nobody Wants This" centers on the incredibly unlikely relationship struck up between two very different people: an unconventional rabbi fresh out of a committed relationship (Brody), and an agnostic woman who co-hosts a sex and relationship podcast with her sister (Bell).
After being introduced at a dinner party, sparks fly between the pair, but they come from different worlds, have different outlooks, and face plenty of roadblocks to romance. How can this possibly work out? You'll have to stream it and see. And when you do fall in love with the show, you can join me in fondly looking forward to streaming "Nobody Wants This" season 2 later this year.

Tudum highlights "Survival of the Thickest" as one of Netflix's top feel-good watches, and I'm pretty confident that viewers who enjoyed "Too Much" will also enjoy seeing Mavis take on the world.
Created by and starring Michelle Buteau, the series follows Mavis Beaumont (Buteau), a 38-year-old stylist who dreams of taking the fashion world by storm along with her longtime photographer and boyfriend, Jacque (Taylor Selé).
When she stumbles upon Jacque in bed with another woman, Mavis' world is turned upside down. However, with the support of her friends, she commits to securing her break on her terms, no matter what the world throws her way.

Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble's HBO Max campus comedy "The Sex Lives of College Girls" could be another solid follow-up worth considering, if you've got access to HBO Max.
Premiering in 2021, this ensemble series follows four 18-year-old freshmen at New England's prestigious Essex College.
There, we meet four new randomly assigned roommates — Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Leighton (Reneé Rapp), and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) — who spend their time on campus navigating their new lives and all the drama, freedoms and trials that college life brings.

This week's TV lineup delivers a little bit of everything. Jason Momoa goes full warrior mode in the sweeping historical saga "Chief of War," while "Twisted Metal" season 2 brings back post-apocalyptic mayhem. For reality fans, "Perfect Match" returns with its most drama-inducing cast yet, including contestants from outside the Netflix bubble. Here are our top picks for new TV shows to watch this week. Stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan turns real-life heartbreak into sitcom gold in a new comedy based on her hit Netflix special, 'I'm Every Woman,' and co-created by Chuck Lorre. It's about picking up the pieces — while experiencing a hot flash or two — after your husband of 33 years leaves you. Morgan plays a grandmother suddenly thrust back into the dating pool. She leans on her loud, loving family, including sister Carol (Kristen Johnston), as she discovers it's never too late for a fresh start.

Her companion this time around is Sexton (Colin Morgan), a suicidal teen who's not exactly thrilled to be alive. Episode premieres Thursday, July 31 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix The stakes are even bloodier on this post-apocalyptic action comedy. John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) are diving headfirst into Calypso's no-mercy demolition derby, where one wish is up for grabs … if they can outdrive a bunch of lunatics. Cars will burn, clowns will kill and Anthony Carrigan will be smirking as the world goes up in flames. Dollface and Mr. Grimm crash back in for more mayhem, plus there's a scrappy kid in the mix. Episodes 1-3 premiere Thursday, July 31 at 3 a.m. ET on Peacock Jason Momoa goes full warrior-poet in this gritty, sweeping historical epic set during Hawai'i's fight for unification in the late 1700s. He plays Ka'iana, a high-ranking chief who returns home and gets swept into the brutal campaign to unite the islands. But soon, he begins to question what he's actually fighting for.

A Forgotten Dwayne Johnson Sci-Fi Movie Is Swallowing The Competition On Netflix
Dwayne Johnson's 2018 blockbuster Rampage is running amok on Netflix, hitting the streamer's top ten this past week, as viewers can't seem to resist the combination of The Rock and giant creatures destroying Chicago. According to FlixPatrol, which measures viewer habits on streaming services, the film has seen a spike after being added to Netflix's library. Rampage isn't usually top of mind when people think about The Rock, so it's not entirely clear why it's such a focus for viewers. The film features Dwayne Johnson as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who works with gorillas at a San Diego wildlife sanctuary. He's particularly close to George, a highly intelligent albino silverback gorilla who can speak via sign language. George is a gentle giant, but after a scientific experiment on a space station goes awry, the remnants come crashing to earth, where, wouldn't you know, it crashes into George's habitat, and a canister within exposes him to a strange gas. It isn't long before George grows to an enormous size, with fits of uncontrollable rage, and escapes the facility. To make things worse, canisters of the gas also land in Wyoming, creating other large, angry creatures out of the local wildlife. They're on a collision course with George. Of course, that means Dwayne Johnson is going to do Dwayne Johnson things to stop them, and the action and mayhem quickly get out of control. The film also stars Naomie Harris (No Time to Die's Moneypenny) as Dr. Kate Caldwell, a scientist who worked on the genetic experiments now affecting the animals, and she teams up with Dwayne Johnson to stop the threat. Malin Akerman (Watchmen) and Jake Lacy (The Office) star as Claire and Brett Wyden, billionaire siblings who own Energyne, the corporation behind the experiments, and don't want their secrets out. They send out some ex-military types to retrieve them, and the government soon gets involved as the creatures are drawn to Chicago (thanks to a convenient plot device) for a showdown. Justice League's Deathstroke himself, Joe Manganiello, stars as Burke, an independent operator hunting down the creatures for the Wydens, and a very entertaining Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) stars as a government agent trying to capture the creatures. Besides the outstanding digital effects (providing lots of angry monkey action), the movie also has a nice sense of humor, especially when Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dwayne Johnson go head-to-head and start trading barbs. Released in April of 2018, the film was a box office hit, despite critics who ripped the movie and gave it a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (viewers are more forgiving, giving it a 72% rating). It grossed over $100 million in the United States and over $428 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Rampage is based on the 1980s video game of the same name, and as you might expect, it has very little resemblance to the final film. The only common denominator is the creatures, who punch buildings in the video game until they fall. Players control the creatures in the game, but the movie version needed a human face for the lead, and the larger-than-life Dwayne Johnson is one of the few actors on the planet who could share the screen with giant CGI creatures and not look out of place. Viewers will likely catch a familiar face in the film's opening moments: Marley Shelton (Scream, Sin City) as the astronaut on the doomed space station where the pathogen is first created. Sadly, another familiar face didn't make the film's final cut: a scene featuring Alexandra Daddario, Dwayne Johnson's co-star in San Andreas, was shot but later discarded. She played a scuba instructor who encounters a mutated squid. Solve the daily Crossword

John Daly Is Playing Happy Gilmore's Brother in Netflix's ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Despite Only Being Worth $2 Million
John Daly is playing Happy Gilmore's brother in Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 — but the real shocker? Despite a decades-long career filled with major wins and high-profile sponsorships, Daly's net worth in 2025 is reportedly just $2 million. Once one of golf's most marketable (and unpredictable) stars, the 59-year-old two-time major champion has made headlines as much for his off-the-course lifestyle as for his powerful drives. Daly's known for doing things his own way — from his iconic Hooters sponsorship to gambling, drinking, and even performing country music. But that rockstar reputation has come with a hefty price tag. Over the years, Daly has openly admitted to losing between $50 million and $60 million through gambling alone. Add in four divorces and a fifth engagement — to longtime partner Anna Cladakis — and it's easy to see how the money has vanished. Now, Daly is heading to Netflix, taking on a prominent role in Happy Gilmore 2, nearly 30 years after the original Adam Sandler cult classic first hit theaters. 'I'm kind of Happy's brother. Hopefully, it's coming out July 25th. I haven't heard when the premiere is coming out,' Daly revealed on the Like a Farmer podcast. 'But I had a blast. And Adam's been a friend of mine for a long time. We just had a blast doing it. It's funny, funny, funny. That's all I'm going to say. It is awesome,' he continued. 'He's amazing. He's probably one of the best for-seeked actors right now. And he was more into this one. Maybe he produces a lot of his movies. I'm not for sure. I didn't ask him. We just [got] to meet his family and see how his beautiful daughter's grown up. It was really cool.' The casting came as a surprise even to Daly himself. 'My agent called me and says, 'Hey, I think you're going to be in Happy Gilmore 2.' I go, 'Really?' And most of the time, it'd be like, am I going to be on the range? Maybe 10 seconds? He goes, 'No, you're going to be his brother. You're going to get him back to playing golf.' So it's supposed to come out July 25th on Netflix. So get ready.' While it's unclear how much Daly will earn from his role in the film, one thing is certain — even if his bank account isn't what it used to be, his legacy (and personality) are bigger than ever.
