5 Netflix shows to watch if you loved Too Much
Link is copied Comments Lena Dunham's latest project, Too Much, recently dropped on Netflix, and it's safe to say that it's been a hit with fans. The 10-episode series follows New Yorker Jessica, whose life is turned upside down when her seven-year relationship ends. Her boss (and sister's ex) convinces her to move to London to work on a project, believing a fresh start is what she needs to heal. But when Jessica, who is obsessed with British culture, arrives in the capital, she finds that London life is nothing like it is in the movies (Picture: PA Wire) However, when she meets Felix, a troubled indie musician, Jessica finally becomes the leading lady in her own imperfectly perfect story. Complete with a hilarious script, unhinged moments, and passionate relationships, it's quickly become a cult classic for the 30-something viewer (Picture: Ana Blumenkron/Netflix) Too Much isn't the only Netflix show providing the goods for this age group, though. There are plenty of other quality shows that follow a similar - and slightly chaotic - vein. So, if like us, you binged the first series as soon as it came out, you're likely looking for something to watch next. Without further ado, here are 5 Netflix series to watch if you adored Too Much (Picture: PA Wire) Nobody wants this? More like everybody wants this. The 2024 show stars Kristen Bell as Joanne, an agnostic sex podcaster, and Adam Brody as Noah, a newly single rabbi. Despite their cultural differences, the pair fall in love, entering a 'will-they-won't-they' style relationship that viewers root for right from the start. But will their meddling families - who don't approve of the match - tear them apart for good? (Picture: AP) Michelle Buteau is Mavis Beaumont, a plus-size stylist who finds herself newly single at 38. With the help of her chosen family, aka her fiercely loyal besties, Mavis works to rebuild her life. Navigating personal problems and career obstacles, she finally gets the recognition she deserves in the fashion industry. According to Mavis, all you need in life is a 'body-positive attitude, cute v-neck, and some lip gloss.' Survival of the Thickest was created by Buteau and Danielle Sanchez Witzel, and based on a memoir of the same name (Picture: Vanessa Clifton/Netflix) Feel Good is a semi-autobiographical romantic comedy written by and starring Mae Martin as a fictionalised version of themself. It centres around Mae, a Canadian comedian and recovering addict, and George, a middle-class English woman, and their complicated relationship. While Mae's addiction causes issues in their romance, George's reluctance to come out also creates problems for the pair. At its core, Feel Good explores the modern-day world of love, addiction and sexuality (Picture: Channel 4/Matt Squire) Based on the 2009 novel by David Nicholls as well as the 2011 film adaptation, One Day follows the 14-year relationship of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. The pair meet at a ball after graduating from the University of Edinburgh, and enjoy a brief college romance. However, when they go their separate ways to pursue their dreams, they promise to meet up on the same day each year. For years, they struggle to admit that they're meant for each other. Will fate finally bring them together for good? (Picture: Matthew Towers/Netflix) Lily Collins stars as Emily Cooper, a marketing executive from Chicago who moves to Paris for work. Swept up in the romance of the 'City of Love,' Emily must find a way to balance her new friendships, relationships, and career. From her complex relationship with her neighbour Gabriel and his ex-girlfriend Camille, to dealing with her icy (yet privately sweet) boss Sylvie, there's never a dull moment in Emily's life. Season five is expected to come later this year, and sees Emily starting another new life in Rome with her new beau, Marcello (Picture: Netflix)

Bartender Spotlight: Leon Tan on the heart of Laut and why cocktail trends don't matter
Who would've expected that wedged between floors of vegetarian eateries in Fortune Centre is an intimate bar laser-focused on celebrating the vibrant maritime history of Singapore? You might have heard of the term 'orang laut' before – Malay for 'sea people'. They are the seafaring communities who once roamed the shores of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia in the 1800s, and it's this rich heritage of theirs that Leon Tan champions over at Laut. With just ten seats and a menu that kicks off each evening as a two-hour tasting experience, dining here feels more like a dinner party hosted by someone with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Southeast Asian flavours than the average dinner experience. First launched on Stanley Street, Laut has since made the move to a smaller, pocket-sized space in Fortune Centre, with the cosy spot feeling like an experimental lab for its talented team. We had the chance to visit the bar and chat about Laut's unique cocktail programme, Leon's personal drink recommendations and his unfiltered thoughts on the bar industry and cocktail trends. Read on for our five quick-fire questions – and don't forget to check out more of Singapore's best bars in the Time Out Singapore 2025 Bar Guide, out now and available for free here. If Laut had a theme song, what would it be? Feel Good by The Kribo Brothers. They're Singaporean music producers based in Bali now, and they produce a lot of funky tunes and feel-good music. What is a must-try cocktail at Laut? I've got this cocktail called Serai – meaning lemongrass – which is a twist on the G&T. I use local Compendium chendol gin. Other main ingredients in the cocktail are pandan, blended fresh wheatgrass for colour and nuttiness, lemongrass for sweetness, and chin chow (grass jelly) water kefir. Most of us locals know chin chow in its agar form, but it's actually a black tea leaf that's slightly bitter. Food-wise, we tend to do casual small bites. A staple top-seller is our squid gado dish. It's basically confit baby squid with squid ink sauce, tamarind, and a bit of peanuts. What is an underrated cocktail on your menu? Lengkuas. It means blue ginger. I blend a couple of things from the ginger family, like turmeric and others from the Bentong region in Malaysia. It's kind of a twist on two classics – the Dark 'n' Stormy and Penicillin. Depending on the guest, I can also swap out the main spirit for something smokier like whisky or rum. Which cocktail trends do you want to see more and less of? I would like to see more listening bars in Singapore like those in Japan, America, and Europe. There are a few here, but not as many. In terms of drinks, I don't really believe in trends. Any bar or restaurant can do whatever it wants. And I drink anything and everything, so I think every guest should be allowed the same – it's about the time and place. That said, I would like to see less fluff. We're in a social media generation where everybody is just taking pictures. I would like to see less of that and more craft, whether it's classic cocktails or modern takes on them. What's another bar in the neighbourhood you'd recommend? Where Laut is situated, we don't really have many around us since we're sort of at the fringe of the city. But I like this place called Middle Child Bar, which is just across the road from us. They do good natural wines, beers, and cocktails. Discover more of Singapore's best bars in the Time Out Singapore 2025 Bar Guide, out now and available for free here.
