Emily in Paris

[Singingrain1223]

So bad and full of cliches but SO addictive, I'm half way through the 10 episodes and can't stop watching. Lily Collins is memorising.

Utterly needed and loved it. What a stunner, very Audrey h in 1⃣ scene.

Amazing please do series 2!! How ever definitely not a 12 with the sex references!! My goodness!!

I loved it, although found Emily very annoying and unsexy and American and also FAR too thin.

Am I sounding middle-aged enough?

I also lived in Paris and loved the streetscape - although agree with PPs that it's filthy and they do not show that!

Also how hot is Gabriel OMG

FFS at all the MNers claiming to be experts on France after spending a year as a teaching assistant. The clichés are all nonsense, people work hard and don't generally think affairs are a good thing. A lot of French people are hating on the show and I can really see why, it's quite offensive in its stereotyping. I'm only sticking with it for the hot men.

All I know is that I'm desperate for the perfect omelette and I'm off to make one right now. Thanks Emily's chef neighbour!

I never expected to like this but then I didn't know it was a SATC for younguns.

Loved it. Emily is annoying and has questionable fashion sense but I love her (Phil Collin's daughter do you know). Loved the French cliché's, loved the sanitized Paris. Cringed, laughed and chocked on my croissant. Sylvie is my favourite.
Not really a fan of SATC but loved this.
Also loved Call My Agent also on Netflx.

@lightyearsahead - I think Sylvie speaks to a lot of us.

So bad it was amazing

Can't remember the last time I saw something with so many cliches and stereotypes

Have a major crush on Gabriel

@Moanranger

I am enjoying it. Re the accents, I think the French actors English has various origins. Emily’s boss sounds like she learned her English in US, so it sound different to some of the others. Gabriel has a strange nasal accent. The weirdest is the Chinese friend. An obvious Chinese-American, but her role is a wealthy Chinese girl who studied & worked in France- but accent completely wrong. Good writing, and truth in some of the cliches.

The character said that she went to high school in Minnesota.

Just watched it and enjoyed. I love anything set in Paris.

Wow I didn’t know she is Phil Collins’ daughter. And she’s 31 but looks about 19.

There is going to be a second series.

Good news 🗞

I understand some of the criticisms, but regardless I really enjoyed it. Paris looked wonderful, the clothes were amazing.

It's also a bit of a change to see a show dealing with sex without explicit visuals (my sister referred to it as "Paris in Emily" since she got to know so many beautiful guys so quickly!)

Another series? Yay!

Recently seen they’ve also upped the rating to a 15

Trailer for season 2 😀

I really enjoyed it. Paris looked great. I wonder when they filmed it? I've been in Paris when it was way too crowed, way too hot, way too cold, but they seem to have picked a perfect time.

@blueskywhy re "Paris in Emily", the chef was from Normandy, the teenager from Champagne, and only the snob academic from Paris. While, she came three times (go Emily!!) , we don't know how :) Again, the lack of explicit sex scenes was interesting!

Hope the next series is as enjoyable!

Just finished this last night.

What a load of glossy, cliched, ridiculous fluff.

LOVED it. Perfect escapist rubbish.

I actually yelled 'NOOOOO!' at the end of the last episode as I thought there were 2 more eps to go.

They set it up perfectly for Season 2.

For those missing Emily in Paris I strongly recommend Call My Agent, I started watching yesterday and am loving it so far. Very funny and lots of gorgeous Paris scenes.
