Emily en París

I had high hopes for Season 4 of *Emily in Paris*, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver the excitement I was expecting. While the outfits of the cast remain stunning and continue to steal the show, the storyline feels repetitive. It seems like we're stuck in a loop, revisiting the same themes without any fresh twists or developments.

Emily's adventures in the City of Light often feel like a rehash of past seasons, with the same conflicts and romantic entanglements reappearing without significant evolution. While the series shines in its ability to present stunning visuals and stylish ensembles, the lack of character development and new plot twists leaves much to be desired.

The charm of the show is undeniable, but it's starting to feel like a missed opportunity for deeper storytelling. I believe the creators could take risks and introduce fresh elements that would elevate the series beyond its current formula.

As much as I enjoy the glamour and the Parisian backdrop, I find myself longing for growth-not just in the characters, but in the story itself. Here's hoping that future seasons will embrace change and innovation, bringing new life to this beloved series.

Well, I am partly enjoying it..but then realized it is basically a drawn out version of devil wears Prada- same fashions, same mean boss woman, same bitchy office politics, and if you listen closely enough- also the same background music they used in the original movie.

The main high point is Gabriel (obvious reasons really ; ) but the series lacks realism- the main character is dripping in designer outfits yet rents a very average apartment. She somehow manages to befriend her narcissistic boss and invites her to parties. She's allowed to speak English at work when everyone else is talking in french. Literally every guy she meets seems to want her. Who actually buys this?

Also, I dont know French people but they are not represented in the nicest way- made to look philandering and full of secret agendas, whilst Emily is made to look like the sweet little innocent amongst them.

The actress, Lily Collins, is amazing..but the story is so cliche and feels just like another Andy sachs adventure .

This show is potato chips. Tastes ok, no substance or nutritional value. I call these shows my hair drying shows. Not good enough to watch with my husband or really pay attention. I watch while I dry my hair or put on makeup. I think the main character is very pretty and I enjoy her outfits. And of course everyone she meets is hyper attractive and equally groomed. So watch for some eye candy and silly scenarios. It definitely takes you into a different (not super believable) realm where you can just keep popping those potato chips and relax.

Is it the most well written, eloquent, well acted series ever? No. Is it a light watch that is easy to check in and out of with fantastic colours and set design/ costumes? Yes. I enjoyed this in a time where I don't want to be reminded of the Covid Global Crisis, politics, the crap weather and other depressing things going on across the globe.

The characters are quite fun. The storyline is easy to navigate. The set and colours are beautiful. A lot of criticism around the wardrobe on Vogue Instagram but I thought they were fun and pretty.

It's mindless and distracting from reality. Perfect. What more could one want from a series right now?

Seen it all before a million times. France made to look awful through a fake and ignorant lens of petty cliché. Utter nonsense. This production insults the intelligence of Netflix subscribers.
