Fun to watch, interesting that an American is working in Paris and reveals the culture barriers and the differences between the Americans and the French.
I'm so surprised that people don't like this show... I enjoyed every episode and can't wait for season 3!
like the culture differences between french and american. and the actors are all stunning. and relax and enjoyable series.
I am not French (nor American) so the whole cultural thing didn't phase me. This show is a guilty pleasure for me because I really didn't care about story or character arcs. For me it's just a colorful spectacle of Paris, fashionable clothes and silly cliché characters that is easy to digest.
Good series ... although the main character is more of a prostitute than Candy Candy (anime '80) .
An enjoyable binge-watch, which basically translates to a "fish out of water" or an American living in France that doesn't speak a word of French. All cast members deliver enjoyable performances that will keep you incessantly clicking to the next episode. Personal break-out supporting cast, Bruno Gouery & Samuel Arnold expertly carry the middle and strengthen the office politics satire. Lots of pop-culture, and social media references; including European and transatlantic tropes that play extremely well. Accompanied by gorgeous establishing shots of french culture and striking costume designs by Sex & the City's Patricia Field, Emily in Paris brings a nuance angle to The Devil Wears Prada franchise.
I know some people say "it's a cliché" "it's an okay show", etc. But for me, it's fine, I like that cliché, light tv shows that makes us want to be in a team of that boy/girl and wait for the result! Sometimes we need something easy to watch.
This was basically The Devil Wears Prada without Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Cute and entertaining, we ploughed through both seasons within a week.
As I watched this, it reminded me of another show (YOUNGER), which, it turns out, is another Darren Star series with which I have similar feelings. It may turn out my issues are in his formula. First the positive, Lily Collins is delightful. Her character is winsome (and she rocks an American accent, something that always impresses me by Brits who jump the pond). The theme is love, love of Paris, star crossed love, which is what keeps us watching. The beauty of Paris is on full display. But, here are my issues. The supporting characters are templates (even when the actors work hard at making them charming).The clothing choices are totally incongruous with the wages of those who wear them. Darren Star loves fashion, glamour and indiscriminate lifestyles, which is where I have issues with his shows. His shows are more image than substance which strip the characters of depth and forces them to be ornaments rather than complex people. Their superficial environment dictate their superficial actions and thoughts. Eventually, I lose interest in these shells of people. I give this series a 7 (beautiful but shallow) out of 10.

I like Lily Collins and her portrayal of Emily in **super-amped-up-alternate-universe** Paris. Having said that, the kid I really like in this show is Camille Razat. She has a certain je ne sais quoi that suits the theme of this show.
