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.
Watch "Nobody Wants This" on Netflix now
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.

‘Family Matters' star Jaleel White reacts to Malcolm-Jamal Warner ‘s ‘disturbing' death
Jaleel White is reeling from Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death. The 'Family Matters' alum, 48, spoke about the bond he shared with Warner after 'The Cosby Show' actor accidentally drowned at age 54 in Costa Rica on Sunday Sunday. 'Malcolm and I were industry peers,' White recalled to 'Extra' at the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere on Monday. 'I mean, really, I can't even say that. Like, I grew up looking up to him. He was ahead of me in the game.' 9 Jaleel White at Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere in New York City on July 21. Getty Images 9 Malcolm-Jamal Warner at a pre-Emmys party in Los Angeles in 2016. MediaPunch/INSTARimages 'I'm kind of waiting for more details to come out because it was just a very disturbing report, just accidentally this,' White continued. 'You kind of caught me at a loss for words and kind of reflecting on my own memories.' White and Warner starred in their respective sitcoms around the same time. 'Family Matters,' in which White played Steve Urkel, aired from 1989 to 1997, while Warner played Theo Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 to 1992. 9 Jaleel White as Steve Urkel in 'Family Matters.' ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection The pair also each worked with late actress Michelle Thomas, who appeared on both shows, and dated Warner, before she died of cancer in 1998. 'Malcolm was the first former child actor that my mother even let me go out with late at night past 11 p.m., and I had a very close relationship with both him and Michelle Thomas,' White said at the premiere. 'May they both rest in peace.' 9 Bill Cosby, Malcolm-Jamal Warner in 'The Cosby Show.'

In his 2024 memoir 'Growing Up Urkel,' White recalled getting to know Warner at the time that Thomas joined 'Family Matters.' 9 The cast of 'Family Matters.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 'Malcolm would visit the set from time to time, and on one given night after a live audience taping, Malcolm and Michelle invited me to join them at a music-industry party that went late into the evening,' White wrote. 'Off I went into the back seat of Malcolm's Mercedes as a happy third wheel. It never dawned on me to drink a drop of liquor that evening, as my mother would be waiting up for me the moment I walked in the door. Just being out late at night, feeling grown and independent was memory enough.' 9 Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the 12th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.

Costa Rican National Police told The Post that the actor was pulled from the water by people in the area and taken to shore, where they desperately attempted to save his life.

'I can understand why some people can't watch the show and enjoy it because of everything that's going on now,' Warner shard at the time. 9 The cast of 'The Cosby Show.' NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'But I think…there's a generation of young people who have pursued higher education or have started loving families because of the influence of that show. So it's kind of like, you can't discount its impact on television culture and American culture.' After Warner's death, Cosby's rep told The Post that Cosby had recently spoke to the late actor after a concert in Minnesota. Cosby also compared Warner's passing to losing his own son, Ennis Cosby, who was murdered in 1997.

Disney+ vs. Netflix: Is Disney Plus Better than Netflix?
Netflix boasts over 17,000 titles globally across movies, TV series, documentaries, anime, and international originals. Its library is diverse, constantly evolving, and highly localized depending on your country. Netflix is also known for licensing third-party content alongside its own originals. Disney+ focuses on quality over quantity, offering around 7,000 TV episodes and 500+ movies, but with some of the most iconic and beloved brands in entertainment. From the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe to Pixar classics and every Star Wars installment, Disney+ appeals strongly to families and franchise lovers. Verdict: Netflix wins for variety and volume. Disney+ wins for nostalgic and family-friendly content. Standard with Ads : $6.99/month : $6.99/month Standard (no ads) : $15.49/month : $15.49/month Premium (4K + extra members): $22.99/month Netflix also offers extra member add-ons at a fee, making account sharing more limited. With Ads : $7.99/month : $7.99/month Ad-Free : $13.99/month : $13.99/month Disney Bundle (Hulu + ESPN+): Starting at $14.99/month Disney+ also allows unlimited downloads for ad-free users, making it easy to download on Disney Plus and watch offline. Verdict: Disney+ is more affordable, especially when bundled. Netflix is pricier but offers broader content. Netflix sets the gold standard for user experience. It's available on virtually every device—smart TVs, game consoles, phones, tablets, web browsers, and streaming boxes. Its AI-driven recommendation engine and easy-to-navigate interface are fan favorites. Disney+ supports most major devices, though it may lag behind Netflix in terms of smart TV app optimization and user personalization. Still, it offers up to 7 user profiles and 4 simultaneous streams on its standard plan. Verdict: Netflix wins for refined UX and broader device support. Disney+ is close but still playing catch-up. With hits like Stranger Things , The Crown , Wednesday , Squid Game , and The Witcher , Netflix revolutionized streaming with its originals. It spends billions annually to develop fresh, exclusive content across genres and languages. Disney+ offers premium originals, but they lean heavily on existing franchises. The Mandalorian , Loki , WandaVision , and The Imagineering Story are hits—but fewer in number compared to Netflix's catalog. Verdict: Netflix takes the lead in volume and diversity. Disney+ wins for franchise continuity and cinematic quality. Netflix is available in over 190 countries, with regional content libraries and subtitles in dozens of languages. It's optimized for low-bandwidth usage in regions with slower internet. As of 2025, Disney+ is available in around 130+ countries, with steady expansion. However, content availability varies more than Netflix, especially in Europe and parts of Asia. Downloads are supported, but some users prefer third-party tools like a Disney Plus downloader to get around geo-restrictions or keep content permanently. Verdict: Netflix wins in global reach and localization. Disney+ is improving, but still behind. The final verdict depends entirely on your needs and preferences: You want a wide variety of genres and languages You're into international and adult-targeted content You care about cutting-edge original productions You want the best tech features and personalization You love Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo You're looking for family-friendly programming You want a budget-friendly bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ You want to download on Disney Plus and watch without Wi-Fi The Disney Plus vs Netflix battle is far from over. While Netflix maintains its global dominance in size and scope, Disney+ continues to rise with unmatched franchise power and a more affordable price point. If you're a family user or franchise fanatic, Disney+ delivers enormous value. If you're into cutting-edge, genre-diverse entertainment, Netflix is still the one to beat. Looking at Disney Plus subscribers vs Netflix, Netflix still leads with over 250 million global users, but Disney+ is catching up fast, with over 165 million and growing. Whichever you choose, both platforms are evolving fast—and the good news? You don't necessarily have to choose. Many users are opting to subscribe to both, taking advantage of the best from each world. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Is ‘The Hunting Wives' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 22, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 22, 2025, 10:56 IST Okay, let's talk about The Hunting Wives —the Netflix thriller that's got everyone buzzing with its mix of juicy drama, murder mysteries, and small-town secrets. If you binged Season 1 (no judgment, we're all guilty), you're probably dying to know: Is there going to be a Season 2? That cliffhanger ending left us with so many questions, and we are here to dig into the latest scoop. So, grab a coffee, and let's unpack everything we know about the future of this addictive show as of July 22, 2025. Has Netflix Greenlit The Hunting Wives Season 2? Here's the tea: as of today, July 22, 2025, Netflix hasn't officially said 'yes' to a second season of The Hunting Wives . But don't lose hope just yet! There are some promising signs. For one, the show's creator, Rebecca Cutter, seems super excited about continuing the story. In interviews, she's hinted that the open-ended finale was no accident—they're ready to dive back in if Netflix gives the go-ahead. The show was originally meant to be a limited series for Starz, but when Lionsgate Television and Starz split, it landed on Netflix. That's a big deal because Netflix's huge audience could give the show the boost it needs for a renewal. Lionsgate reportedly sees The Hunting Wives as a multi-season project, so the pieces are in place—it's just a matter of whether Netflix thinks it's worth another round. What To Expect In The Hunting Wives Season 2? We are keeping this spoiler-free for those who haven't finished Season 1 (go binge it, seriously!), but let's just say the finale leaves a lot unresolved. The murder mystery at the heart of the show is far from solved, and the relationships between characters like Sophie, Margo, and others are a tangled mess. Here's what we might see in a second season: More Murder Mystery : The investigation into Abby's death could take some wild turns. And what about Kaycee Krummell's disappearance? There's so much more to uncover. Drama Between the Wives : Margo's manipulative charm and Sophie's journey into this chaotic world could spark new rivalries and alliances. Plus, Jed Banks' political ambitions might stir up even more trouble. Texas Vibes: The show's mix of red-state politics and social commentary gives it a unique edge. A second season could lean into that, exploring new themes or diving deeper into the East Texas setting. Since Season 1 already adapted most of May Cobb's book, a second season would likely go off-script with original stories. Rebecca Cutter's vision seems to be about keeping the drama fresh and grounded, so expect more twists that feel true to the show's vibe.
