Richard Curtis should be proud. Decades after his celebrated English romcoms Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually, the genre lives on, and with Too Much it gains a subversive Lena Dunham twist.
Dunham is famed as the showrunner behind Girls, the 2010s HBO dramedy that offered a younger and more realistic depiction of New York life for women than the version we’d last seen in Sex and the City.
Discovering your boyfriend is cheating on you with Emily Ratajkowski would cause anyone to take drastic measures – and for the lead of Lena Dunham’s newest show, Too Much, it means packing up and moving to London.
When she arrives, Jessica (Megan Stalter, Hacks) finds the London she was moving to doesn’t quite exist. Instead of landing straight in a Richard Curtis film, she finds run-down flats, waring neighbours, and a deep instinct to watch her ex (Michael Zegen, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and new girl Polly’s (Ratajkowski) Instagram Stories.
Luckily for us, the visually stunning new series Landscapers, written by debut screenwriter Ed Sinclair and directed by Will Sharpe (Flowers), is a welcome departure from the well-trodden genre.
Written by debut screenwriter Ed Sinclair and inspired by real events, the original drama will see Colman (The Favourite) and Thewlis (I’m Thinking Of Ending Things) star as the inseparable husband and wife Susan and Christopher Edwards. When a pair of dead bodies are discovered in the back garden of a Nottingham house, the seemingly ordinary couple become the focus of an extraordinary investigation.
Written by Colman’s husband, debut screenwriter Ed Sinclair, Landscapers follows the true story of Susan (Colman) and Christopher Edwards (Thewlis), a seemingly mild-mannered married couple who have dead bodies buried in their back garden in Nottingham.
The series, written and created by debut screenwriter Ed Sinclair, will see Colman and Thewlis star as the seemingly harmless couple Susan and Christopher Edwards who happen to have a couple of dead bodies buried in their back garden in Nottingham.
