Emily en París

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.

This was advertised as Sex and the City (in Paris), but it is nothing of the sort. Lily Collins is a great actor, but her character is basic white girl caricature. Everyone is a caricature. French people are mean and smoke too much. You will just meet your new best friend on a park bench. Every man is hot and going to hit on you. The show was so cringy I couldn't believe what I was watching. It felt like a CW show with a larger budget, then I found out the show was originally set to premiere on MTV. With the toned down language and idealized view of the world, this show is probably great for tween girls who want to put themselves in Emily shoes. This is no Sex and the City.

Lost the sense of reality completely and keeps pushing for unreal, unhealthy behavioral traits. Absolute misuse of Hollywood soft power.

Started off as an easy watch with beautiful sceneries, capturing Paris in an exciting point of view. With the popularity, the show became unrealistic to a level where it's painful to watch.

This would've been a lot better if the creators of the show at least watched a show like 'Mad Men' let alone hiring someone with knowledge about how an advertising firm works before writing the show.

The Emily In Paris show is basic. It's a show that I really enjoyed (by the way, I just finished the first part of season 4 in one day), but it's a show that cruelly lacks depth. The characters are far too superficial, the problems they face are not at all "relatable" and especially their life in Paris does not symbolize life there at all. The show is full of clichés, croissants, bars, restaurants, streets with Haussmann buildings, this is so false and it's an extremely superficial side of the show. The characters seriously lack depth, Emily who is in a love triangle and the problems she lives at work are nonsense and very shiny and cute romance. It's much more of a show that you can chill to and watch without really paying attention and more enjoying the city (which is simply wonderful knowing that Paris is not really like that). I advise if you like to watch a light and normal show but not really if you appreciate something deep and strong.

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 .
