Netflix just dropped a trailer for its new star-studded romantic comedy series — and it looks like a hilarious watch
If you're a Netflix subscriber and a romantic comedy fan, you might be primed to fall in love with the streamer's upcoming series, "Too Much." That's based on the trailer, which the streaming giant just dropped for Lena Dunham's star-studded new Netflix rom-com this week, and promises to show the messy realities of falling in love. Check it out below: The trailer tees up the connection between our two leads — workaholic and New York expat Jessica (Megan Stalter) and Felix (Will Sharpe), a singer and so-called "walking series of red flags" — and shows off the sense of humor and some of the misadventures you can expect to see when the show hits the streaming service this summer. I've described "Too Much" as a "star-studded" show, and for good reason. Dunham described her cast as "an embarrassment of riches" (via Tudum), and you can expect to see appearances from Andrew Scott, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Fry, Jennifer Saunders, Rhea Perlman and many, many more in the show (you can find a full cast breakdown below). Excited? You don't have long to wait. The streaming giant has confirmed that "Too Much" will be available to stream on Netflix from Thursday, July 10. The "Too Much" trailer already helps sell the show's vibe and hints at some of the ups and downs that Jessica will face. If you want an even clearer picture of what to expect from the show, though, Netflix has already shared a full synopsis for the romantic comedy series. It reads: "Jessica (Megan Stalter) is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behavior, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Brontë sister. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "But when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe) — a walking series of red flags — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?" In addition to the above names, "Too Much" also stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Rannells, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Emily Ratajkowski, Janicza Bravo, Jessica Alba, Kaori Momoi, Kit Harington, Leo Reich, Michael Zegen, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Rita Ora, and Rita Wilson.

These are the 101 best restaurants in California
The enormousness of 'California,' as a territory and an ideology, is hard for any mind to contain. It's beautiful. It's complicated and divided and challenged. Among one of a thousand ways to define the Golden State: culinary juggernaut. Our spectrum of influence — from chefs, farmers, impresarios and dreamers who reimagined restaurant cooking into something synced with the seasons and personal identity, to the capitalists who gave birth to fast food — has shaped and kept reshaping how Americans eat over the last century. Los Angeles alone is boggling enough in its magnitudes for a critic to eat and think through. I've wandered a lot in my career, though. As the world emerged from the grip of COVID-19, a professional curiosity surfaced: What was happening in the rest of the state? What had remained and what was changing? Inquisitiveness evolved into a fevered question: What restaurants altogether tell the richest, broadest story of dining in California right now? The riddle can never be perfectly solved, and yet: This is a guide full of delicious answers. A year of driving up and down the California coast — steering inland and back, watching winter mountains bloom green and then fade to brown again by late spring — unfolded in a blur of taquerias, tasting menus, strip malls, remote highways, tostadas, dumplings, nigiri, falafel, pho, kebabs … . Moments crystallized. The triangles of buttery, corn-filled pasta that trumpeted high summer in a rustic dining room on a hilly corner of San Francisco's Financial District. The new owner who revived a 91-year-old diner in downtown Sacramento with a burger she calls 'Southern Daddy' and her calling-card sweet potato pie. The glamour-soaked San Diego dining room, all golds and greens and chiaroscuro lighting, that set a cinematic mood for an evening of modern Vietnamese cuisine. Attempting a statewide survey stemmed organically from the 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles project that The Times has published annually since 2013. I've written or co-written six of them now. 'Best' is a word for headline catnip that I live with but don't love. 'Essential' has always been more of a guiding precept for me. I want readers — you — to know about places for their incredible food, but I trust these very human endeavors also speak to something larger about dining and life in Los Angeles. Seven years in, L.A. feels like my home home. The San Francisco Chronicle employed me nearly 20 years ago; the Bay Area is a mainstay in my adult life. I've never been keen on the 'L.A. versus S.F.' tribalism. Isn't it kind of staggering that this wild state, slightly smaller than Morocco and currently the fourth-largest economy on the planet, has two uniquely different and world-class urban hubs? And there's so much more of California to see and taste. Too much, in fact, to fit into the usual framework. Yes, this is a list of 101 restaurants that serve many kinds of foods at every price tier. (I did leave off the three most famous tentpoles in California fine dining: Chez Panisse , Spago and the French Laundry . You know them. Go if they call to you.) Many of the entries put forth 'extra helpings' — corresponding pillars of excellence that also deserve recognition. It's the whole blessed state. There's a lot to recommend. These travels have likewise spurred fresh, deeper guides to popular destinations such as San Francisco , San Diego and Palm Springs . More are coming. No single person could filter through the infinite possibilities; gratitude goes to the many food-writing peers and some well-fed friends who gave me guidance at every major intersection. I did not rank these restaurants. This isn't about numerals or symbol ratings. It's one glimpse into our cultures and diversities — into cuisines that uphold traditions, or disrupt with originality, or inhabit some fruitful middle ground. Any endeavor like this is an invitation to savor and to debate. I crisscrossed plenty of California. It still feels like a beginning.

Not Even Republicans Want to Go to Trump's ‘Goose-Stepping' Parade
Donald Trump is throwing a lavish military parade on his birthday this year, but apparently many of his congressional faithful aren't coming to the party. Politico surveyed 50 GOP lawmakers, only seven of whom said they planned to attend the festivities in Washington, D.C., this weekend. The near $50 million affair, which just so happens to be on Trump's 79th birthday, will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Army. It's set to feature a daytime festival on the National Mall followed by a 6 p.m. military parade, a concert and fireworks. The Army expects as many as 200,000 people to attend. But apparently, not many Republican leaders will be among them. According to Politico, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Majority Whip John Barrasso aren't attending, nor is House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. House Speaker Mike Johnson's office didn't respond to Politico's inquiry. Among those who made clear they were not going was Rand Paul, the Kentucky junior senator, who told reporters he was not in favor of 'goose-stepping' parades. 'I've never been a big fan of goose-stepping soldiers in big tanks and missiles rolling down the street,' he said in the Capitol. 'So if you asked me, I wouldn't have done it. We were always different than the images you saw of the Soviet Union and North Korea. We were proud not to be that.' Lawmakers rarely spend time in Washington on weekends, returning instead to their families and districts. Several lawmakers told Politico they're skipping the event because they have prior commitments. Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma told Politico it's his anniversary this weekend, and 'I choose to be married.' Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Rick Scott of Florida are also planning to skip out, as will House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris. Marjorie Taylor Greene, however, plans to show her face. 'Yes, of course,' the Georgia Republican told Politico. 'I'm going to be there for the 250th anniversary of the Army.' Also from the House, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Elise Stefanik, Rich McCormick, John McGuire, and Lisa McClaim said they would make an appearance. The White House told Politico that Trump 'looks forward to a historic crowd at the Army Birthday Parade, where he will be joined by top military leaders, administration officials, congressional representatives, and most importantly, thousands of patriotic Americans to celebrate 250 years of honor, courage, and sacrifice by our United States military.' The event is expected to cost up to $45 million, but the spectacle may not get much airtime on several major TV networks that will reportedly stick to sports programming. Trump can rely on Fox News, however, for hours of special coverage. It'll come in the wake of an extraordinary series of events in Los Angeles, where demonstrators protesting federal immigration raids prompted Trump to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines over the past few days California Gov. Gavin Newsom has repeatedly called on the president to rescind his order, on Tuesday calling the deployments a 'brazen abuse of power' that 'inflamed a combustible situation.' Newsom also condemned the upcoming parade, accusing Trump of forcing the military to 'put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.' Trump said Tuesday any protesters at the festivities will be met with 'very heavy force.'
