A Critical Look at ‘too Much’
in a three-star review of the show, NME offered a nuanced perspective, noting, “Too much then, overall? Maybe, but also not enough in terms of focus. With some judicious pruning – of subplots and supporting characters that don’t quite land – this show might have been vital instead of merely amiable.” This suggests a show with potential, but perhaps lacking the sharp focus to truly resonate.
