Emily In Paris - Netflix

1 Sort by date Sort by reaction score 2
I loved it. Seemed to make me forget everything for a bit.
That being said I adore Paris, more than your average person. Even fly for the day sometimes then fly home on the night. Pain in the arse and tiring but lovely to walk those streets for a few hours. As annoying as Emily is I quite liked her, not that god awful phone case though.

A very bad move to not let it rest in peace, but I'll probably watch it. Although id rather a more Emily in Paris for something ridiculous to escape with.

Sarah Jessica Parker is way less liked than she used to be and I'm noticing quite a lot more people are on Kim cattrall's side.

I think that's a bit overboard, it was full of lazy cliché stereotypes. But it's supposed to be lighthearted fun, not a historically accurate representation of a nation. I dread to think what people not born at the time would think of allo allo thesedays! :LOL: The lack of good french music in it was disrespectful though😄

Another big issue is NYC was a character, that city is now a zombie town with more and more moving out everyday. That's going to take a while to recover and probably won't ever be the same again now so many are remote working.

Have you seen what the french people said about it?
It protrays americans in a bad light as well, thinking that the whole world revolves around them.
That everything should be catered to their tastes and not the other way around.
They were quite appalled at it. And the main character was so unlikable.
She gets everything without so much as working for it at all.
It's clear that Darren Star and his writers/producers are trying to be trendy when they have no clue what the job of an influencer is or how to respect someone else's culture.
And Lily Collins is just the top of the iceberg ... god she's a horrid actress. I don't know why she keeps getting cast.

Yeh I agree, if anything it was more offensive to Americans, making them all seem stupid and unaware :LOL:

Just finished episode 5 and quite enjoying it now. Especially as Emily has been dissing influencers; saying they're self serving that don't really care about the brands and are just there for money and freebies. If a show like this is calling out influencers it really does say something about the state of that industry.

I enjoyed that part, too!

One thing that really annoyed me about this show, or the actress really, is that she would do that thing where she rolls her eyes? But like, closes one eye lid slower than the other? I really don't know how to explain it. Just bugged me that she was weirdly closing one eye 😅

totally agree. Over Christmas I watched so many hallmark type Xmas films and just bloody loved them! Totally cheese, but I love anything like that, which is why I love Emily in Paris

I think especially now a lot of people feel the same, I often wonder if Emily in Paris would have done so well if we weren't living though this distaster, so many people just want mindless escapism more than ever
