Beautiful scenery of Paris other wise a waste of time. The amount of cliches in this piece of trash is immense, and the acting is worse than a primary play.

However all the world around her is pretty Instagramish, false and flat, so probably that’s a psychedelic story in the spirit of 60s.… 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!

This show is terrible. That's all that needs to be said about it. A show in Paris for someone that has never been to Paris. The insulting of nations and boring script. Avoid this garbage.

What's the price of your dignity, Netflix? Where is equity, respect? The hate is not acceptable! This show should be cancelled. This show offended the whole nation. It's not only boring, it's harmful because it spreads hate.

Don't compare it with "Sex and the City". It's not even cheap copy. It's just hateful boring show with placed propaganda. Absolutely unacceptable and not funny at all. Netflix, remove propaganda from this show, because you spread the hate.

I was forced to watch several episodes. Could feel my brain cells dying one right after the other. This show is just abomination.

"Emily in Paris" is the abomination that tries to be funny, dumb, and cheesy, but only succeeds in being abhorrent.

Are you kidding me? It's not a "Sex and the City" at all. It's not funny and full of cliches. It's not even love or romantic story. The script is week. The actors don't even try to play. Don't waste you time on this crap.

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.

Its a tv show about a bunch of white privileged american people, making fun about everything they do not understand about the french culture. (and so so many clichés about french, its SO BORING !) The (french) actors are overplaying, although some are good actors, I guess its to make Lily Collins appear mor natural on her role.
Its a very boring and eastern depiction of Paris, sure Paris is un musée à ciel ouvert, but its also a very multi-cultural city, and you have to take the metro to visit it, its not only the 1st, 5th and 16th arrondissement. Anyway, I really get Sylvie when she explains to Emily why she does not like her and I guess that only americans can appreciate this soapy tv show.
If you really wanna have a glimpse of how life is in Paris, well just watch french series.

Okay maybe not offended but It still is garbage. It's not funny and it feels like a Disney adaptation of Paris in a white privileged capitalist environment(which 99% of people do not have access to) This is far from reality and I hope people do not start believing this is how life is. Also, her carbon footprint is too high, she should be taking the velib(city bike of Paris) and the metro as a real Parisian. This tv show also glamorizing marketing, it is way less fascinating in real life. The only good part is that they denounce sexism in French culture.… Expand

They represent Ukrainians in an odd way, but it's ok. Every other episode there was a very funny joke that made me replay the last 10 seconds of the episode a couple of times. They portray influencers as if they had braincells, but I'm pretty sure that isn't true. There was really nice scenery. In my opinion the characters were really poorly written, and the music couldn't have been matched in a worse way, but it's funny nonetheless. It's very fun to criticize this show among friends, which is what makes it as good as it is. This show also had some really intellectual quotes, I think you'll be able to point them our yourself (the quotes are really **** stupid and I want you to avoid them at all costs)

Important note: I loved this show because it's bad in a funny way, not because it's good.

Summary: Ukrainians steal, influencers are smart, French people are rude and Paris is made for tourists who wanna go shopping for million dollar clothes.… Expand

She basically lives,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 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 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

It's a well-made fantasy-selling pornography if you're a massive fan of heavily staged romcom. Emily happens to magically get whatever she somehow needs/will be needing at work, while she's a non-professional tourist wandering around the cityIt's a well-made fantasy-selling pornography if you're a massive fan of heavily staged romcom. Emily happens to magically get whatever she somehow needs/will be needing at work, while she's a non-professional tourist wandering around the city without any respect for the local culture. it doesn't truly represent the hardship you should make your way thru, once you work as a sales rep., or even just a typical full-time worker. The show irons out the career path of Emily so well all the time, as it should be entitled as pornography.

On top of that, one thing that triggers me all the time is that they change the characteristics of characters within just a second. They failed at building emotions for the characters, they just flip the entire mindset of each character to make dramas. (as pornographies should do)

While the entire show is being just a fantasy novel without dragons, I loved the presentations of the city. The 4 points are solely from them.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really funny series about a young American woman in Paris. Especially the clichés are fully served here. Anyone who has been to Paris knows that the clichés are mostly true (example: arrogant and unfriendly innkeepers and waiters). The Parisians are a special kind of people (not in a bad way) and there is no need to be ashamed or angry, I see absolutely no racism here. The episode with the Eastern European, well, anyone who has ever really got to know these special people knows that only too well. All in all very well done, funny series, doesn't come close to Sex and the City, but it's something refreshingly different! In addition, McDonald's appears in one episode, I also ate there very often and couldn't stand the really overpriced dishes (especially the small portions...) and the arrogant Parisian restaurant staff. Still, I love France, Paris and the French! Paris is not France, it is very special. Really a great country with very cultured and friendly people. Absolutely worth at least one trip and Paris is really the city of love, as it is described in the series, beautiful to look at everywhere, sights everywhere, culture everywhere. Full of life, the city of culture.… Expand
