Emily in Paris

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.

This series is like a "Sex and the City" for Millennials. It's based on the idea of a French farce with a lot of misunderstandings, stereotypical characters galore, beautiful scenery, people, clothes and every French-American put-down one can imagine! Season 1 offered some interest for the first few episodes but it goes steadily downhill from there. Season 2 is a complete washout with the characters becoming repetitive, predictable and boring. The acting is forced and the dialog cloying and nauseating. This level and type of series shows just how desperate the streaming sites are for content....no matter how bad it may be!

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.

I'm only five minutes into the second episode, but I paused the first episode three times to do far more interesting things around the house. I feel like I'm watching a juvenile version of Carrie Bradshaw's trip to Paris. Lily Collins in zany, Carrie-like costumes feels forced, along with all of the gratuitous shots of Lily's outfits that are clearly product placement. Emily does not feel like a three dimensional character to me. It feels like she's a character type and Lily Collins is far too talented to make me believe it's her acting and not the writers or the director. I was really looking forward to this show because I love SATC and Lily, but this show feels like it was made for pre-teens.

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.
