En cuisine avec Paris Hilton

Why the hell is Netflix pandering to people like Paris Hilton? With no discernible talent, this show might be quasi-reality TV, but it's just excruciating. It isn't even funny in an ironic way; the celebrities featured here have the personality of cardboard. They are the literal opposite of our aspirations for what role model should be.

Netflix could be spending money supporting actual talent; you know, by making shows with actual talented writers and actors that need the break. Instead we get this monstrosity...

In case you forgot the Hilton's are rich and you're poor, just tune into "Cooking with Paris", and watch the star attempt to cook while wearing evening gowns. The extravagant decorations and expensive food just pushed this over the top.

Silly, glittery show and mostly not about food but Paris and her friends. The cameras spend 90% of the time on Paris's face and the rest on the food she's attempting to make. Watch it for a laugh but don't expect to learn much about cooking.

It's not going to happen. I thought after Paris's whole documentary about how she was so misunderstood that she wouldn't be playing into her dumb blonde trope, yet here we are. She is still doing the baby voice and trying to be super cutesy but at 40 it's just awkward and cringey. I commend her guests for trying to be as entertaining and normal as possible in this extremely forced scenario. I would recommend this show as background noise for when you don't want to feel alone but that's about it.

Most reviews on here totally miss the point of this show and the humour. It's meant to be bad and it's done brilliantly. It's utterly wincing, tongue and cheek, binge-worthy kitschness. Paris is obviously horrendous at cooking and has no desire to be a chef. It's about shallow, glittery, sugar coated girliness, it's camp with great fashion and genuinely really funny moments. Definitely not for everyone, but if you get it, then it's worth the watch 🌸💕🍸🌷🌟💫🍒🍟🍫🍿🎂🍩
