Emily in Paris isn’t going to make your Top 10 Best Shows of 2025 list. But it’s still a high-quality comfort watch with good vibes and a charming cast that can give you a much-needed rest from reality.

By the season finale there’s a feeling that Emily has learned a lot from her Italian venture, and discovered more about herself and her love for Paris than she thought possible. It’s a nice bookend to one of the strongest seasons yet, one that reminds viewers why they fell for this show in the first place.

Beyond Sylvie, female friendship is hugely celebrated in Emily in Paris season 5, as Emily and Mindy's relationship becomes more complex and deep than it ever was. By making it just as important as Emily's romantic relationships, Emily in Paris continues to evolve for the better.

The show seems more aware than ever that it functions best as a colorful, Cocomelon-esque adult travelogue: with flimsy conflicts that can be swept away so easily, it doesn’t matter if you missed a beat while online shopping. .... It might be running out of steam, but as a piece of low-stakes eye candy, it’s right where it needs to be.

[The characters are] still prone to bouts of ridiculousness, but they are works in progress, beginning to discard the flatness of caricatures to take on more dimension. The characters continue to annoy me, but the annoyances have more nuance. Still, if you’ve been here for the entire run of the series, the plot points will make you feel like a fortune teller. .... I hate that I somewhat enjoy watching it, but I do.
