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.

Emily isn’t authentic all the way, and it’s a little bit painful to look at a borrowed (from Instagram) mask, not a human being at a place of human being.

Such a psychological issue in this character - I think, the show authors didn’t plan it. 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

The actors are respected French actors that are being dragged to the world of Americana of silly and quite stereotypical “comedy” in an uncomfortable way to make Americans laugh, probably the ones who don’t travel much. Lacks class and actual culture. I wasted time watching this. If you want to watch a good French series that has a little more spunk, do Call My Agent… 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.

It promotes sexism, discrimination, racism and hate. It doesn't matter that Emily is stupid. It matters that this show insults France and Paris. Lily Collins doesn't have talent to be actress. The producing of this trash is the shame of her as well. I expected to watch romantic comedy, but in fact it's cheesy trash. As American I'm offended, because it hurts our reputation. I've been in France, so Emily, don't produce hate and trash.… Expand

This show is just embarrassing. Don't waste your time if you are real fan of humor and fashion. It's not "Sex in the big City" at all. It's cheesy cheap insulting cringe!

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.
A bon entendeur.… Expand

As a French person living in Paris, I feel highly offended by this piece of trash. 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 capitalistAs a French person living in Paris, I feel highly offended by this piece of trash. 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

Love letter to American exceptionalism, ignorance, and othering of foreign cultures. Racist towards Ukrainian, stereotypes the French as lazy, closed-minded, lecherous, and shallow.

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

The point of show: Americans are the best persons in the world, French are the worst persons in the world. Racist show, stupid humor, boring plot. Vanity project
