    The warm and goofy and topical camaraderie of that show [“Sex and the City”] is nowhere apparent here. Nor are any laughs. There are no actual laugh lines here, just lines that let you know they were supposed to be funny. It is, in essence, a romantic picture postcard comedy show without any comedy (or much romance for that matter).

    “Emily in Paris” is like scrolling through Instagram. It’s a great way to waste time looking at pretty pictures with no depth, taken by beautiful people with the ability to do and call it a job. If that’s what you’re looking for, it’ll be for you. If you’re thinking this is the second coming of “Sex and the City,” sorry, no dice.

    It's all very exhausting. This is a terrible show. Avoid it at all costs.

    The first half of the season is an exorcism of all of the French cliches the writers could think of, spewed out as if they could not keep them in.

    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.

By the middle of the season it's not fun anymore, and by the end of the season it feels plainly disrespectful towards French culture. I can't deny it was entertaining, but I FELT I WAS WATCHING A CARTOON! Depiction of such a complex culture like the French, and particularly Parisian history, traditions and customs, with RIDICULOUS STEREOTYPES, almost felt insulting... and I'm not even French! But I'd hate if a TV Series mocked my country/city like that.… Full Review »

    A fun, fanciful romp full of enjoyable characters and gorgeous Paris cityscape. Such a great escape from realty.

It stars Lily Collins as a wide-eyed social media expert who’s transferred to Paris. Her adjustments to a hostile, haughty work environment and lack of speaking French are ameliorated by a chummy new friend and several handsome men. It’s got a sparkling retro rom-com feel with regular montages of Parisian sites and Collins’ sweetly charming, continually-effervescent attitude. The supporting cast also boasts an assortment of entertaining types. Since it’s France, everyone’s outfits are fabulous. There’s no question that this is a signature Star project, which means it’s a lite confection with a winning cast and enjoyable situations.… Full Review »
