In the Season 1 finale of Too Much, after watching 10 episodes, viewers finally learn whether Jessica (played by Meg Stalter) and Felix (portrayed by Will Sharpe) will remain together or if they part ways following the public leak of her video diary to Wendy Jones (Emily Ratajkowski) and his revelation of infidelity.
Throughout the turbulent journey, the series illustrated that love can be both tender and chaotic, and we are grateful for the exploration. However, the key question remains: does their relationship endure as a typical romantic comedy would suggest, or do they separate, invoking a sense of heartbreak akin to Fleabag?
Here’s a recap of the Season 1 ending of Too Much on Netflix.
Too Much Season 1 Ending Explained: Do Jessica and Felix live happily ever after?
By the close of Episode 9, “Enough, Actually,” Jessica decides to end things with Felix after he admits not just to betrayal but to a spiral of drinking, smoking, and drug use. Rather than attempting to mend their fractured relationship — despite their evident love, they struggle to connect on essential ways forward — they decide to part ways, marking their split with dramatic finality.
Episode 10, “The Idea of Blue,” begins with Astrid — Jessica’s beloved dog who she previously emptied out her life savings to keep alive — excperiencing some kind of medical issue that results in an emergency trip to the vet. Unfortunately, the doctors cannot save her and Astrid dies without Jessica getting to say goodbye, prompting a massive blowup between them on the street and a fullblown breakup.
After the death and the downfall of her relationship, Jameson (Andrew Rannells) attempts to convince Jessica to return to the United States where he promises to help her start her career as a director. In the same breath, Jameson apologizes to Nora (Dunham), and says that he misses her and their life together, which she tearfully accepts and agrees on.
Before leaving London to head home, Jessica meets up with Wendy Jones who looks to get answers about the real timeline of how Zev (Michael Zegen) and Jessica’s relationship ended. While Wendy speculated that Zev lied about them being separated, it wasn’t until her conversation with Jessica that she confirmed he made up details to try, including that they had “conciously uncoupled” and were apart for six months before he pursued her. They agree that Zev is someone who purposely goes after strong and confident women to tear them down.
The conversation between Wendy and Jessica brings closure for both women, but also gives Jessica some perspective on her rollercoaster relationship with Felix. It’s Wendy telling her that she hopes she finds “the perfect person for her” that
in the classic rom-com ending, Jessica races to the highway where Felix and his friends are protesting and confesses that she still loves him and is sorry that she self-sabotaged their relationship. She even admits that she thinks he “healed” something inside of her with their relationship. Before she can finish her speech, the police arrive to escort the protesters off the highway, and she is picked up first as Felix remains seated on the road.
As Jessica is getting taken away in handcuffs for gluing herself to the ground during the protest, Felix proposes to her, which she initially shrugs off as a joke. As it becomes clear that he is serious about the prospect of their marriage, Jessica considers the offer but hesitates to answer. Before we can see her answer, the show cuts to a montage of all the other characters living their best lives, having each found their way back to their person.
The final scene shows Jessica and Felix’s friends and family members standing outside a church and waiting for them to emerge after their wedding. Ultimately, the happy couple comes out and shares a kiss before Felix jokingly says, “How long do you want to stay married?” They kiss again and a quick roll of shots on film play out before the credits scroll.
Too Much Season 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
