It depends on who you ask. In the final episode of Too Much season one, Dr Alexander opens up about a career of criticism from colleagues and supervisors that she's "too emotional".

7. Virginia Haussegger was "too outspoken"

Australia is well and truly taking Hollywood by storm, on screen and behind the scenes. This week Helen McCabe is joined by a woman behind the tinseltown takeover, Jodi Matterson. Jodi serves as Managing Director of Australia, partner and producer of Made Up Stories.

Jodi Matterson has been utterly committed to her work, sometimes at the expense of her family, relationships and health. And despite her success, operating at this level of intensity for so long takes a toll. Is there such a thing as “too committed”? And as a woman in an historically male-dominated industry, is that the price of success?
