I originally started watching “Emily In Paris” not for the purpose of writing this review, but because I actually had a desire to watch it. It seemed very promising being a Darren Star production, the man behind “Sex and the City” and starring Lily Collins as the main character.

Let me start off by saying this show is easy to critique. I don’t usually watch shows made by Netflix because they tend to be cringeworthy. “Emily In Paris” was no exception.

The problem most people have had with the show is how unrealistic it is, particularly French people. The show follows the stereotype that French people are mean and Paris is the most beautiful city in the world.

I’ve been to Paris, and it is by no means the most beautiful. It’s beautiful, yes, but the streets are filthy. Paris is kind of like how some people view New York City as a dream when in reality it’s not.

There’s also the fact that Emily moves to Paris without knowing how to speak French. She moves there for her job so it’s not like she’s not going to have to deal with a lot of French people. Even the characters on the show have a problem with this.

I think the show hit its worst point when Emily accidentally sleeps with her friend’s seventeen- year-old brother. She didn’t find out his age until after, but nobody seemed to care. This was a very unnecessary plot line that just didn’t need to be in the show because it wasn’t funny.

Other than these missteps and a few others, the show actually wasn’t all bad. The show had a lot of good moments too that either made you laugh or smile. I think anybody who watches the show can agree that Gabriel is the best thing about it.

My favorite part of the show was probably when Emily is trying to prove to a fashion designer that she’s not basic by using a “Gossip Girl” reference. I found what Emily said cringeworthy and hard to watch because of how she kind of contradicts herself, but the best moment was when the designer expresses how upset he is at the ending of the show.

I also really liked when Emily is finally able to let loose with Gabriel and an American celebrity that she’s babysitting by going dancing at a club.

Overall, I would say that “Emily In Paris” is simply an alright show with some bad moments. But what show doesn’t have it’s bad moments every now and then.

The show is light-hearted and easy to watch and if you’re done binge watching everything else, you might just consider trying this one out.

The season is 10 episodes long with episodes at 30 minutes a piece, so what do you have to lose besides a little bit of time.
