Emily in Paris

As a French person who's bilingual in English, it's really interesting to discover this point of view. Paris is a little bit idealized (empty streets, no defeaning noises), but a lot of other things are accurate (climbing stairs to your apartment, mean people at work, people not trying to speak English). Well of course not all French people are like this, I'm part of them as I've always loved meeting foreigners, talking to them and helping them when they couldn't understand and all. The first thing when coming in the city is to try to meet people through groups or social media, that's the best way to find support if you're alone and need someone who speaks English. However, as a tourist I've also met people who weren't nice in other countries (San Francisco, London) and I love those cities. I don't know why we especially see that for Paris, that's totally something we should see for other countries or cities.

3 out of 5 stars.

Lily Collins is a sweet actress. Delivers that fun and charming personality. As she relocates to Paris for work. While hard making friends at work and living in paris lifestyle. Kind of entertaining and cute concept. But not really much depth with characterization.

What is the quality of tolerance for all people? Where is the line between a shown outside intelligence and an inside intelligence. There are 2 questions after watching 2 episodes of this series. And it's not about the French, it is about all people around the world.

I love the way to illustrate the flexible mind opposite the true conservative. It's a classic film's subject. But also i love Paris atmosphere and architecture, wonderful men' appearance, and women' elegance. I have enjoyed the views, and it's greater than charming, it's a fantastic! And the jokes were great! But a cigarette have been left burning and have been thrown on the floor at the party (the 2st episode) always goes near the elegance and outside intelligence. I feel overwhelmed. 8 stars all around!

From Darren Star who created Sex And The City. This seems to be like a gallic based The Devil Wears Prada based on the opening episode.

Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) works in social media in Chicago. When her boss falls pregnant. It gives Emily the chance to go and work in Paris for a French marketing firm.

Emily cannot speak French. She will have to leave her boyfriend behind but she is keen to go to Paris.

However Emily discovers that her new French colleagues are not too keen to have her around. Her small apartment is five floors up but it has great views of the city.

I thought the first episode was bland and dull. I expected spikiness and all I got was some lazy caricatures of the French. There was a risque scene at the end, just to remind viewers of its shared DNA with Sex and the City.

It just looked uninspired. As I have been to Paris several times I was not going to be easily bowled over by the picture pretty scenery or the delicious tasting pain au chocolat.

I have watched all epaisodes of this show in a day, the storyline is predictable and traditional, but i still feel relaxing while i was watching this.

I really like the costume design of every actor and actress in this show, especially Emily and Camile, Emily is a typical American girl, who shows great passion and potential on brand marketing, she is charming and seems like there is nothing can block her way to become an excellent brand marketing mannager and have remantic love story in Paris.

Camile is such a typical Frech girl in my imagination, because i have not been to Europe yet. She is a grace girl who have a hot boyfriend, and have a good job in an art gallery, and she is so nice.

This kind of soap show always have magic power to me, i dont need think too much while watching, it was just like a simple pipe dream, looking forward to watching the next season.
