Sex and the City style has aged so badly. They wanted to make Emily a kind of modern Carrie Bradshaw, but it was such a failed attempt. Putting a pseudo-sex-and-the-city in a Parisian context just makes the whole thing so much contrived andSex and the City style has aged so badly.

What happened to Lily Collins' decent acting skills? There's a lot of overacting in Emily In Paris, the plot is unoriginal and unrealistic, it's like a very bad copy of Devil Wears Prada... with more accidents, cliches, liaisons andWhat happened to Lily Collins' decent acting skills?

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,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

A bland and harmless half hour of light-heartedness and empty headedness.

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
