Maren Morris and Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd Reunite for ‘A Beer’
Maren Morris and her ex-husband, Ryan Hurd, can amicably share a meal two years after their divorce.
“Sometimes you gotta get a beer with your ex and pretend it’s 2015,” Morris, 36, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 16. “Except now you’re coparenting.”
Morris uploaded a photo from across a table where Hurd, 39, was seen scrolling on his smartphone.
Morris and Hurd were married from 2018 to 2023. The two country singers finalized their divorce the following year, agreeing to share custody of 6-year-old son Hayes.
Maren Morris is opening up about her divorce from Ryan Hurd. The singer, 35, addressed the end of her marriage to Hurd, 38, on the Thursday, June 19, edition of the “Therapuss” podcast. “In Nashville, you know I’ve been divorced for a little over a year now,” Morris said. “It’s a small town and we’re […]
Since then, Morris and Hurd have put any animosity or bad blood behind them.
“We’re over a year out now … [and] we get along now and have moved past a lot of it,” The “Bones” singer said on the “Dear Chelsea” podcast in June 2025 of their coparenting dynamic. “We’re neighbors, and I’m just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other’s s***, and it’s better for the two of us if we’re getting along.”
She continued, “I’m lucky that we love each other so much still. We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can’t make it work in the real world. It’s always going to be multifaceted. I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.”
Morris further stressed that she and Hurd are “great coparents.”
“We’ve let each other go in that romantic sense, even though we still have so much love and history,” Morris stated. “The person you marry is not the person you divorce, and … just the hardest part is knowing that it’s not the same.”
Maren Morris is “getting it together” with ex-husband Ryan Hurd when it comes to their coparenting dynamic. “The coparenting thing has been going well,” Morris, 34, revealed during the Wednesday, September 25, episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast. “We’re trying our best in this way, but it’s still pretty fresh.” Morris and Hurd, 37, announced […]
For Morris, following a judge’s order of custody schedules helped her deal with the then-new situation.
“That’s very bizarre, but also gives me comfort to know that,” she said, detailing the Tennessee custody court process. “The state has given us this split and we have to abide by it, so there’s no, ‘Well, do you get Easter or do I?’ It’s in writing, and that takes us and our emotions out of it, which is really helpful for both of us. I won’t say [it is] easy, and we do coparent super well now, but you just have to allow yourself that time to feel all the feelings.”
Morris publicly came out as bisexual following their divorce.

Being a pre-teen in the ‘90s had its ups and downs, but being able to take in the cinematic hits of the decade was a rite of passage all on its own. It was the decade that allowed Leonardo DiCaprio to catapult and hold onto stardom thanks to titles like The Basketball Diaries, Romeo + Juliet, and, of course, Titanic, while it also redefined the idea of what a “teen movie” could be thanks to timeless favorites such as 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless and Scream. And, while every genre had plenty to add to the discussion, growing up with the range of action films that hit screens throughout the decade was a treat all on its own.
Michael Mann paired with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino to keep audiences on their toes while positioned at the edge of their seats with Heat, while Brian De Palma and Tom Cruise paired top-tier stunt work with an explosive storyline in what would be the first of many Mission: Impossible movies. Speaking of franchise territory, the decade was bursting at the seams with plenty of new universes, including Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s The Matrix and the continuations of already well-established fan-favorites from Die Hard to The Terminator. Right smack-dab in the middle of it all, George Gallo saw space for a new kind of buddy-cop movie when he first established the idea for what has blossomed into the Bad Boys franchise.
New Action Heroes Are Born
In 1995, then up-and-coming director Michael Bay brought high-octane energy and perfectly timed comedic one-liners to screens around the world with Bad Boys, the first film in the series that introduced audiences to Martin Lawrence and Will Smith’s pair of narcotics detectives. The film served as Bay’s first foray into feature-length filmmaking and paved the way for him to lend his vision to other favorites like The Rock, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor — just to name a few. Soon, interested viewers will be able to stream the first two films in the Bay-built franchise completely free of charge when Bad Boys and its 2003 follow-up, Bad Boys II, crash onto Tubi on June 1.
In the more than 30 years since Bad Boys first graced our screens, the franchise has gone on to spawn three other films. After raking in huge dollar signs at the global box office as the helmer of the first two installments, Bay stepped away from the director’s chair, clearing a path for Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah to take over and return audiences to their favorite action universe with 2020’s Bad Boys for Life and 2024’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
Head over to Tubi on June 1 to stream Bad Boys and Bad Boys II.

Roommates, emotions are once again running high in connection to the ongoing case surrounding Young Dolph. And his fiancée, Mia Jaye, has released a deeply personal message in response to the recent sentencing. Her post quickly drew attention online as fans continue to weigh in on the latest development tied to the rapper’s 2021 murder case.

Mia Jaye Reacts To Court Outcome In Young Dolph Case
Following the news that Cornelius Smith received a 20-year prison sentence in connection with Dolph’s 2021 murder, the rapper’s fiancée, Mia Jaye, took to social media and shared a raw, emotional message addressing the outcome. In an Instagram Story posted Friday, Mia didn’t hold back as she reflected on the sentence and those involved in the case.
“May God have His entire way with him & every other COWARD involved… 20 years plus time served will never be enough,” she wrote, adding a prayer hands emoji at the end of her message.
Her post quickly began circulating online as fans and followers reacted to her words and continued to discuss the latest developments in the long-running case tied to Young Dolph’s tragic death.
The Comment Section Reacts To Mia Jaye’s Statement
Fans quickly made their way to The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section after Mia Jaye’s statement circulated, and the reactions came in fast. Many users sent prayers and words of support to her and the rest of Young Dolph’s family, expressing continued sympathy over the ongoing pain surrounding his death. Others, however, weighed in on the sentencing itself, arguing that 20 years “really ain’t enough” for those involved in the case.
One Instagram user @ihilvnis added, “can’t believe it took so long. may God continue to bring them all peace“
This Instagram user @loveejasmineee claimed, “Now how do people who do stuff to children only get like 7 years like whatt“
And, Instagram user @_fontenette said, “Long Live Dolph, prayers to his family 🐬👑”
While Instagram user @1bossmantino commented, “20 years can’t replace the love and guidance Dolph would of given the world 💯”
Then Instagram user @coopdajuice shared, “Dolph ain’t got no business dying in the first place“
Finally, Instagram user @c9savo wrote, “Pray God heal her and their family 💙”
What Exactly Prompted Her Message?
As previously reported, Cornelius Smith was initially charged with first-degree murder, along with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, in connection to Young Dolph’s 2021 killing. As part of a plea agreement reached on Friday, Smith pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which led to the dismissal of the remaining charges against him. He was then sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole. Though his attorney, Michael Scholl, said he will receive credit for time already served, leaving him with an estimated 15 years left. Scholl also shared that Smith has shown remorse throughout the proceedings.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Shower filter sales hit $1.5 billion in 2024 as more people blame their tap water — not their products — for dry skin, dull hair and stubborn irritation. Over 85 percent of U.S. households have hard water, and most municipal supplies are treated with chlorine or chloramines that strip skin and hair over time.
What Is Hard Water Actually Doing to Your Skin and Hair?
Hard water leaves a film of calcium and magnesium minerals on skin and hair, stripping natural oils and disrupting the skin’s protective barrier. A 2021 systematic review in Clinical & Experimental Allergy linked hard water to worsening atopic eczema, and a 2017 cohort study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology found a 5 percent higher risk of atopic dermatitis for every 5-degree increase in water hardness.
Countertop Water Filter: Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy One in 2026
Chlorine oxidizes hair proteins, leaving strands brittle and color-treated hair fading faster. About 1 in 5 Americans showers in chloramine-treated water, which standard carbon filters can’t remove.
How Do You Know If You Need a Shower Filter?
Check your water hardness using the USGS water hardness map or contact your utility. Hard water signs include white mineral buildup on fixtures, soap that won’t lather and skin that feels tight or filmy after rinsing. Chlorine shows up as a chemical smell during your shower, persistent scalp irritation and color that fades faster than expected.
One important distinction: shower filters and whole-home water softeners aren’t the same thing. A filter tackles chlorine, heavy metals and sediment at one fixture — it doesn’t replace a softener for whole-house hard-water reduction.
What Does a Shower Filter Do — and What Doesn’t It Do?
Shower filters use KDF-55, activated carbon or vitamin C to reduce chlorine, heavy metals and sediment. KDF-55 is the gold standard and also handles chloramines — which standard carbon can’t. Stage count is misleading — a simpler filter with a high concentration of KDF-55 often outperforms a “15-stage” product.
Filters need replacing every three to six months. A shower filter won’t soften water, won’t cure skin conditions and won’t meaningfully reduce PFAS — with one exception. Per Interior Medicine’s 2026 rankings, only the Weddell Duo backs a PFAS-reduction claim with published third-party lab data.
Which Shower Filter Brands Are Worth Buying?
NSF/ANSI 177 is the only objective certification — it verifies chlorine reduction. The Weddell Duo is the only filter in current testing with actual certification and published third-party results, topping both CNN Underscored’s 2026 testing and Water Filter Guru’s review. It installs inline in under five minutes, removes 99% of chlorine plus PFAS and particulates, and runs under $100 with refills around $27 on subscription.
Jolie shows 85 percent chlorine removal in in-house testing plus third-party clinical data on reduced dryness and hair shedding — strong if you accept the no-certification caveat. Rorra publishes independent lab results and is the solid budget option.
It seemed like we were all living in a parallel universe when Vin Diesel starred in a crime drama directed by the legendary Sidney Lumet. This was only two decades ago, by the way; Diesel had already established himself as a star, but was clearly willing to be more experimental in his career, which began with him making low-budget vehicles for himself. These days, Diesel almost exclusively plays Dominic Toretto. Meanwhile, his co-star in the Fast and Furious franchise, Jason Statham, mostly restricts himself to the action genre. He’ll sometimes star in a sci-fi, crime, or thriller project, but he’s unlikely to headline Aaron Sorkin‘s next project. In many ways, Statham has been less experimental in his career than Diesel. He was particularly boxed in during the 2010s, when he played versions of the same brooding character in a handful of mid-budget movies.
One of these films, the rare sequel, is currently streaming on Peacock in the United States, but not for much longer. Perhaps the most interesting fact about this movie is that it was directed by Dennis Gansel, a filmmaker who shocked audiences around the world with his breakout feature — a tense thriller in which a German high school teacher demonstrates how easy it would be to reawaken fascist behavior in the present day. Titled The Wave, the movie sees school children form a made-up nation eerily similar to Nazi Germany. Gansel’s latest film is the haunting anti-war drama The Tank, which takes place during World War II.
Here’s How Long You Have Left To Watch Jason Statham’s Action Sequel on Peacock
However, for his first Hollywood project, Gansel chose to make Statham’s Mechanic: Resurrection. A sequel to The Mechanic, which grossed around $75 million worldwide against a reported budget of $40 million, Mechanic: Resurrection was a slightly bigger hit. It generated $125 million worldwide against a $40 million budget. However, the sequel received weaker reviews than its predecessor, and it now holds a 31% score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the first film’s 54%. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “With little to recommend beyond a handful of entertaining set pieces, Mechanic: Resurrection suggests this franchise should have remained in its tomb.” You can watch the movie on Peacock, but only until June 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

“I’m very appreciative,” Bella Murphy said of her father’s “rule.”
Roommates, it looks like a little family fun and some playful competition might be brewing in the Williams–Herbo household after a recent clip had fans zooming in on a sweet but hilarious father-daughter moment involving Taina Williams, G Herbo, and their baby girl, Emmy.

Emmy Steals Show In Viral Family Moment
This week, G Herbo took to his Instagram Story with footage of him gifting little Emmy a few surprises, and the three-year-old was clearly in her element. Rocking a hot pink shirt, gold necklace, and a big smile, Emmy followed her dad’s directions as he asked her to turn around so the camera could catch her new earrings — and she happily showed them off like she knew she was “that girl.” Her excitement didn’t stop there, as Herbo also asked her to show her nails while both parents hyped her up saying “pretty,” with Emmy then turning to Taina Williams, putting her hands by her ears and jokingly teasing, “nana nana look what I got,” sending Taina into laughter as G Herbo captioned the moment “LOL D*MN THEY HAVING MOMMY DAUGHTER GIFT WARS/BEEF.”
You Already Know Folks Weighed In
Roommates ran straight to The Shade Room’s comment section, and as expected, everybody had something to say about the playful family moment. Some users kept it light, saying the clip was completely innocent and pointing out that Emmy is still just a child enjoying gifts and attention from her parents. Others praised G Herbo for showing up for his daughter. While a few raised concerns, suggesting the “gift wars” jokes could one day make her see her mom as competition.
One Instagram user @shaddaee said, “The people saying not cute are crazy as hell knowing damn well if you had a daughter you would want her to be spoiled just like this! Please cut it out 😂😂”
This Instagram user @ballallsummer2x added, “Please remember she still a baby .. still learning her emotions“
And, Instagram user @rainynyts commented, “Shes too cute yall are trippin. Shes just a Lil daddy’s girl.“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @_nellsseafoodpalace claimed, “So she’s going to grow up thinking her mom is her competition“
While Instagram user @_.keeandmikee shared, “Definition of: Don’t get with a man if he can’t treat you like yo father do!“
Finally, Instagram user @dresuave901 wrote, “Little girls always protective of their father. There is nothing wrong with this. Herbo is setting the standard for how she should be treated when she grows up. This is innocent 💯“
Emmy’s Reaction To Taina’s Mother’s Day Gift Sparks Hoopla
Mother’s Day weekend had social media buzzing after G Herbo, Taina Williams, and their two kids, Essex and Emmy, shared a family moment that quickly turned into online debate, all sparked by a simple reaction at the dinner table. While celebrating, G Herbo presented Taina with a gift as she smiled and unwrapped a white bag filled with blue tissue paper and a box, with Essex jokingly guessing “Chanel” before Herbo shut that down. Ultimately, the gift turned out to be a sparkling diamond necklace.
The moment that really set the internet off came when Taina showed the necklace to Emmy and the camera turned to her sitting with her arms crossed and a pout, where the three-year-old — who turns four later this week — said “no” when asked if she liked her mom’s gift, and that brief reaction is what fueled all the hoopla and commentary online.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is finding time among his many duties as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to get his sweat on with none other than Maria Shriver’s ex-husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“Senior’s Day, Gold’s Gym in Venice,” RFK Jr., 72, wrote via X on Thursday, May 14, alongside a selfie of the controversial Trump cabinet member posing with Schwarzenegger, 78, and smiling for the camera.
The Secretary of HHS’ post comes amid a fury of controversy and criticism surrounding RFK Jr., his anti-vaccination stance and the looming threat of hantavarius. Many famous Kennedy family members have denounced RFK Jr.’s political aspirations, calling his failed 2024 presidential campaign an “embarrassment” that was potentially dangerous for the country.
“The decision for our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country,” Rory, Kerry, Joseph and Kathleen Kennedy all said in an October 203 statement. “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgement. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.
Weeks after Caroline Kennedy’s daughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, died after a brief cancer battle, her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is giving insight into the family members’ estranged relationship. “Everybody’s praying for them,” the U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) told People of his family while attending the Starry Night Gala in Palm Desert, […]
Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife Shriver, 70, has also been a vocal critic of RKF Jr. — her cousin — President Donald Trump and his second presidential term. (Shriver and Schwarzenegger were married from 1986 until their separation in 2011. Their divorce was finalized 10 years later in 2021. The pair share four children.)
“We all deserve better, and we all can speak up and demand better,” Shriver wrote via Instagram on March 13 in response to Trump’s, 79, viral feud with Pope Leo XIV amid the ongoing war in Iran.
“The job of President requires composure, compassion, and the ability not to react to anything and everything you do not like,” Shriver continued. “We deserve better!”
Shriver was also an outspoken critic of Trump’s decision to unceremoniously rename the iconic Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.
“The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor,” Shriver said in December 2025. “He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in the culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.”
Shriver continued at the time, “It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.”
Months later, in April 2026, Shriver opened up about her family’s tumultuous relationships amid their many political differences.
“I think people all have differences in every family so I think we were raised on family loyalty,” Shriver told people in an April 22 interview. “Daddy [Sargent Shriver] brought people of different faiths to the table, different political parties, different skin colors and was always like, that is the table.”

4 Years Later, Tom Cruise’s 10/10 Action Sequel Is Still One of the Biggest Streaming Hits on Paramount+
Mortal Kombat II, the video game adaptation sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway-led The Devil Wears Prada 2, Ryan Gosling‘s new sci-fi masterpiece Project Hail Mary, and Antoine Fuqua’s musical biopic Michael all face 40-year-old competition at this weekend’s box office, as the iconic action blockbuster Top Gun returns to the big screen for its special anniversary. That’s not all; the movie is joined in theaters by its cinema-saving sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, which first debuted in 2022.
Four decades after the late Tony Scott brought the need for speed to global theaters, Maverick (Tom Cruise) and co are flying back to the big screen following the recent news we’d all been waiting for. In mid-April, it was officially announced that a sequel to Top Gun: Maverick is on the way, with a script in development. Of course, Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is ready to return to one of his best roles, although most casting news and any release info is as yet unknown. The one thing we can count on is Top Gun 3 becoming a dominant force at the box office and likely earning over a billion dollars. But can it outperform the all-conquering Maverick?
At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic had left many wondering if cinema could ever be the same again, Top Gun: Maverick arrived and proved so financially successful that the industry was considered saved. Against a reported budget of $177 million, the movie returned a huge $1.45 billion worldwide. Split between a domestic haul of $718.7 million and a further $733.4 million from overseas markets, Maverick became the 15th highest-grossing movie of all time. As it re-enters theaters, the film is proving popular on streaming, officially ranking as one of the ten most-streamed movies on Pluto TV in the U.S.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Is an Academy Award Winner
One of the greatest action movies of this century, Top Gun: Maverick featured the combination of Christopher McQuarrie as writer and F1‘s Joseph Kosinski as director. Cruise was joined in the cast by some fresh faces to the franchise, including Miles Teller, Monica Barbaro, and Glen Powell. The film was instantly critically acclaimed and even earned recognition from the Academy, scoring six nominations and winning in the Best Sound category.
Top Gun: Maverick is streaming on Pluto TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Your new favorite binge-watch awaits you on Netflix — you just have to know where to look.
From streaming originals to network and cable classics, the platform has so many incredible shows that it can be difficult to know where to start.
Thankfully, picking the best shows to watch is the Watch With Us team’s bread and butter.
We’ve rounded up a list of five, almost-perfect shows on Netflix that would make for a great binge.
Our first selection is I Think You Should Leave, the popular and widely memed sketch comedy series from SNL alum Tim Robinson.
‘Dark’ (2017-2020)

A young boy disappears in the small, close-knit German town of Winden while cutting through the dark wilderness with his friends one night; a seemingly cut-and-dry case of a missing child. But in the desperate search to find him, the otherwise normal residents of Winden and their families find their tightly-held secrets being exposed alongside their town’s dark history — a history that connects all of them in a terrifying plot with grave consequences for the world. Past, present and future collide in a supernatural story about trauma and time, as the consequences for the town of Winden bear a mark across generations.
Dark is an incredible blend of crime drama, sci-fi, mystery and family drama, but it’s more than just a compelling and ambitious genre hybrid. The show is a deeply complex puzzle box with twists upon twists that somehow make sense, all tied together by rich thematic explorations. Despite the expansive, time-hopping nature of the narrative, the writers do a terrific job keeping things clear for the audience while casting perfect young and old matches for the various characters. Ultimately, Dark is an atmospheric and philosophical thrill ride that completely pulls you in.
‘I Think You Should Leave’ (2019-Present)
Has this ever happened to you? Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin bring their particular brand of surreal, absurdist comedy to I Think You Should Leave, a sketch show about the most embarrassing situations you can imagine being taken fifty steps too far. From trying to put the perfect denouement on a job interview by following through on an erroneous claim that a door “goes both ways,” to going for broke during a haunted house ghost tour for adults where you can “say whatever you want,” to trying an unorthodox method of keeping yourself from talking about your kids too much at a work function, I Think You Should Leave is all about pushing things to their absolute limits — and then some.
I Think You Should Leave became just about an instant hit on the internet shortly after it debuted in 2019, with images and lines of dialogue from the various absurd sketches being shared as memes on social media ad infinitum. The show hasn’t lost its momentum in the subsequent two seasons, and while a fourth has yet to be greenlit due to the busy schedules of Kanin and Robinson (they now have a hit HBO Max show added to their pedigree), it’s worth returning to the short, six-episode first three seasons again and again. I Think You Should Leave is simply demented, laugh-a-minute perfection.
‘Arrested Development’ (2003-2019)
Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) wants nothing more than to finally cut ties with his dysfunctional family — unfortunately, that’s when they need him the most. His father, George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), has been arrested for white-collar crime, and it’s up to Michael to keep everyone together. Michael’s mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter), is a narcissist, his three siblings (Will Arnett,Portia de Rossi and Tony Hale) are deeply chaotic, and his brother-in-law Tobias (David Cross) is something else entirely. Michael struggles to instill good family values in his son, George Michael (Michael Cera), while cleaning up his family’s mess.
Arrested Development is a defining sitcom of the 2000s, not only frequently considered one of the best comedy shows of all time, but one of the best shows of all time. The Russian nesting doll nature of the show’s densely layered joke-writing warrants repeat viewings, but the fantastic writing wouldn’t be quite the same without the show’s perfect casting. From top to bottom, the comedy performances are brilliant, and you may find yourself torn over who gives the best one (our pick is Cross). But guest stars (including Liza Minnelli, Ed Begley Jr. and Charlize Theron) are just as perfect, too.
‘The Great British Baking Show’ (2010-Present)

The Great British Baking Show is the comfort watch of a lifetime, as viewers bear witness to twelve talented amateur bakers going under the hallowed gingham tent and competing in several baking challenges over the course of ten weeks, at the end of which a winner is crowned the Bake-Off champion. The competition is judged by veteran bakers Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith (Leith replaced the show’s original co-judge, Mary Berry, in season 8), while current presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond provide entertaining color commentary and encouragement to the competitors throughout the challenges.
Though Netflix is known for its buzzy mainstream hits like Stranger Things and Bridgerton, there’s more than meets the eye on the popular platform. Netflix has plenty of shows to get into if you’re looking for something a little less flashy. This week, Watch With Us wants to highlight three particularly great, particularly underrated series on the platform […]
The Great British Baking Show provides a cozy and good-natured alternative to the rough rigor of American cooking shows like Top Chef or the abusive vitriol of Gordon Ramsay (who is, ironically, British). If you’re skeptical at first, you will likely find yourself sucked into the show before you know it — the many challenges are mesmerizing to watch, the judges are funny and supportive and the contestants are always fascinating people to get to know. There’s no contrived reality show drama, yet the show is plenty dramatic. Have you ever seen what happens when a whole Baked Alaska gets dumped in the trash?
‘Too Much’ (2025)
Meg Stalter and Will Sharpe in Too Much Netflix
Still coping with the aftermath of her traumatic breakup from ex-boyfriend Zev (Michael Zegen) — who quickly moved on to Instagram model Wendy (Emily Ratajkowski) — commercial producer Jessica Salmon (Meg Stalter) decides that there’s no better time than the present to accept a work transfer to London and completely change everything in her life. But the boy troubles don’t stop in England, and on her first night, she has a sexual encounter with a musician named Felix (Will Sharpe). The one-night stand ends up becoming something more, and a romance starts between them. However, they’ll need to contend with their respective traumas and hangups if they hope to make it work.
Too Much marks the grand return to television for Girls creator Lena Dunham, and this series carries much of the same exceptional narrative and character development that Dunham executed so gracefully on her previous show. Too Much finds the sweet spot between humor, heartache and complete chaos, as Dunham gives Jess such a refreshing and realistic color in how messy and complicated she is. Stalter and Sharpe have great chemistry, but Stalter’s performance in particular shows that she can be more than just a comedy actress.
