Season 2 Review: It is exactly what it is, harmless escapism, and on its own terms it is enormously successful. We wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s subversive, but Emily in Paris is definitely in on the joke. It winks at the audience. We know this is all ridiculous, it says, but don’t worry about it. Just keep watching. Read full review

Season 2 Review: In its second season, “Emily in Paris” serves up more of the same, and more of something TV can do well: Charming, watchable, low-friction entertainment in a setting that’s fun to look at. It’s not the best of anything. But it’s good TV. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What’s interesting about Emily in Paris is that Star seems to know that his heroine is très annoying. ... You'll wish you were watching Mindy in Paris. (Not too late for a spin-off, Mr. Star!) That’s not to say that Collins has somehow failed in her role. Emily is written as an irritating go-getter who relentlessly pursues her colleagues’ approval and believes wholeheartedly that she deserves it. If Collins delivered an Emily who was likable — well, that would be a failure. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even if Emily in Paris is a bit misguided and features familiar narrative beats to the point it is something we've all seen before — and it definitely is; hell, you can even argue it's the same show Star always produces — romance ultimately never goes out of style.

Season 3 Review: At least it captures a stunning French vibe, even if the show portrays the culture and its people in laughably stereotypical ways. Emily In Paris is obviously a form of escapism; for that, it gets the credit, even if it doesn’t deserve much else. Read full review

Season 4 Review: The only truly compelling thread this season, so far, follows Emily’s boss Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu). .... Her scenes, as always, feel like they’re part of a different, more mature show for actual adults—one that makes the rest of Emily in Paris look like Cocomelon. Really, the best reason to keep watching is to see all the nutty outfits Lily Collins is saddled with this time around. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Here is a partial list of all the people who will not enjoy Netflix’s new series, Emily in Paris: 1. French people. ... 6. Anyone who has seen a picture of the Eiffel Tower. 7. Anyone who’s eaten a croissant. ... Emily in Paris is just Emily in “Paris”, and we ought to leave her there to get on with it. Read full review

This is a picturesque rom-com filled with complicated romances and a mostly memorable cast. The unrealistic energy and queer tone that Lily Collins brings to her marketing career is elevated by her unapproving and practical boss, Sylvie, played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. If you forgive the deliberate attempts to engage Western audiences with common French stereotypes and tropes that may offend some, you will find a rom-com jewel, that is wild and alluring but never dull. Those accents of scenic and street-level views of Parisian life alone appear to raise this show to a playful art in its own genre.… Expand

The setting, music, and cinematography are well done and all of the actors are very attractive, so visually it's very pleasing but it's just not realistic at all unless you are among the very well paid salaried workers. She basically lives, works, and hangs out in the most charming areas ofThe setting, music, and cinematography are well done and all of the actors are very attractive, so visually it's very pleasing but it's just not realistic at all unless you are among the very well paid salaried workers. She basically lives, works, and hangs out in the most charming areas of Paris and everyone she is around, including herself, look like models / former models. Both the culture clash (American in Paris) and the romance and the tension with other women are all really cliche. On the one hand, the mostly idyllic alt-reality escapism feels good at a time like we're in right now, but at the same time, if you're not well off and living a similar bougie lifestyle, it's very easy to feel envious and frustrated real life is nothing like this. Highly recommend watching Call My Agent! instead, an actual French comedy-drama series that is more realistic, though it exaggerates things for humor, and much better written. One of the actresses is actually in both shows. It's also on US Netflix right now with subtitles.… Expand

This show has gone off the rails. The plotlines are insipid, stereotypical, superficial, and boring. The musical numbers, while of a high quality, seem like filler--there are just too many of them.

Racist towards Ukrainian, stereotypes the French as lazy, closed-minded, lecherous, and shallow. None of the characters have any real depth or interesting arcs, with Emily simply solving all of her firms' problems within 10-15 minutes. Uses an Asian character (at least in S1) merely as a vehicle for the all-white writing team to say xenophobic nonsense about the French. Unrealistic depiction of the fashion industry, marketing, the ease of living and working in France without knowing French, and much more.… Expand

This show is so insulting. So many cliches and stereotypes about France and the European way of living. This tv show is trash, because of propaganda placed in this tv show as well. Emily, stop spread propaganda and hate! It's pathetic!

The 4th episod of 2d season is totally shameful and inappropriate as creates and shares a lying portrait of Ukrainian women as stupid, thieves, tasteless... It's offensive to all nation! Racism is unacceptable! This episode should be erased.
