how did she become "famous" in like a week by posting random, bad quality photos of paris on her instagram? that was one of the most ridiculous aspects of the show for me
@@jelkafabianova2801 but they were already influencers, so it’s easier, plus they know what it takes for people liking your stuff, and they just take advantage of the fact they are in a place people like more. But Emily? You CANOT get ig famous like that, your selfie in lark sis one in a million. No one uses that type of hashtags. It seems easy but it takes a lot of work to get real instagram followers, and you need to be constantly posting and interacting (which makes no sense for Emily since she is solo used it alwaybe at work and only post when she goes out for a run, or while she on her way to her job)
exactly, paris is like one of the most expensive cities in the world, but she just throws money on clothes (and she doesn’t look too passionate either)
@@-starvs213 more like knowing how to look good without buying name brands. That is French way. They will by name brand on most important thing to use and last longer.
Not to be that guy but the show literally does explain this (she’s there on an extended work trip, and they pay for her accomodation) Its not that far fetched, at about her age (25) I did a secondment into our London office which was entirely paid for (flights, accomodation, etc) from Australia. I wasn’t that senior in my workplace either (~3 years experience). Sometimes these opportunities come up. It was a nice apartment in central London too
I don’t know why, but Emily in Paris looks like such a 2010-2015 show… even the fashion seems to fit that time period. It’s really weird, doesn’t feel like a 2020 series.
To me, it feels like a mexican soap opera that tried and failed miserably to be "ironically woke" and just ended up being blatantly insensitive and cringy
That's what I was thinking, take out the sexual stuff and you've got an early 2010's disney channel movie where [insert pop singer here] gets her dream job in Paris
The clothes reminded me so much of what my fellow study-abroad FIT classmates were wearing circa 2006. They were all Midwest teens heavily influenced by Sex And The City. It was absolutely incredible how devoted those girls were to wearing stillettos on cobblestones every single day.
It being set in 2010 would make so much more sense. That's the year Instagram launched, and Emily's poorly framed photos with cheesy captions might have actually gotten her famous if she was an early adopter.
Literally. All Americans I know hate her and have no idea why this was allowed to air and feel terrible about Emily's subtle racism throughout the show
@@narsis273 I said subtle racism. Basically, it's her whole thing of treating her nationality as more important then the french people around her. Not sure what you'd call racism to a specific nationality rather then actual race, so I just went with that
There's a line in there somewhere about her having a master's in marketing. So you can at least assume she's very educated, and she could come up with great ideas.
The American girl who doesn’t speak the language nor understands the local market saves the day, whilst the entire french firm didnt know what they were doing - is essentially what they were trying to portray there 😐
@@xotoast her masters in marketing didn't show because she always had super random ideas and sometimes even made things viral by accident, not because shes a genius like the vagine jeun and she stared at her laptop for like 5 minutes at work every day and then ran off
@@Juliette5044 oh I agree completely. They did make it seems random or by luck 99% of the time. But having a master's almost explains that she could be just good at these things.
Just because this show is badly written doesn't mean the outfits are actually bad. Mina Le criticized this show's fashion and look at how she dresses here. That's the definition of clashing
Why is no one talking about the way that they hired a Korean woman to act as a Chinese character to spout disgusting things boosting stereotypes. She said many insensitive lines about the one child family law China had in its most poverty driven years just ignoring the deaths, an despair so many people experienced. It was actually disgusting.
ikr the ignorance and the racism to not just the token Asian smart mouth, but the token black gay. they're both harmful asf and so unfair considering that she's in PARIS and it only has TWO poc, and making those TWO SO ANNOYING. it's just white writers making these characters one dimensional and ignorant.
What's wrong with that? There are British actors playing French people, Polish actors playing Russian people, etc. It's just nationality within the same race. Don't be so touchy.
@@Catkovi Its wrong because they are making her talk about something that killed THOUSANDS of people. That's like if I were to hire an Indian person to talk about the loses in the bubonic plague and hurtful stereotypes. I'm also not understanding what you're saying about the races, Koreans and Chinese people are two different groups of people and just because they are asian doesn't mean they should be considered the same.
@@moyazhao4676 it's not like she was forced to tho? She can just not take the part. She knows what she has to say and what character she plays. Not arguing but I think it should go both ways.
@@ashkit1214 Thats beyond the point, people will naturally gravitate towards a role if 1.it pays well and 2.they person is an aspiring actor actress, etc. If you wanted to become a makeup artist wouldn't you take all the oppurtunities to get there? The point is that her character said bad things, yes she is wrong for accepting the role, but the main problem is with the directors/ writers.
Emily's apartment is huuuge for Paris. My aunt lives in Paris, she and her fiance have both worked in entertainment for like 20 years and theirs is smaller. It's also really hard to find apartments even if you're super rich
RIGHT??? I had a francophile phase and wanted to live in Paris when I was younger, so I heavily researched apartments and the cost of living there. She would definitely need another job or a decent amount of savings to live there, Paris is soo expensive to live in.
@@cocoloresroth depends on the district, she's on the 5th right next to Panthéon so that's quite expensive, I wouldn't say 2 500euros though, more like 1 000euros. I live in a 22m2 2 bedroom appartement in district 19 and I pay 850euros.
@@zaboutata I lived next to the Panthéon with a roommate for a few years, rent was 1500 for 30m2, it was two chambre de bonne linked together with the kitchen in the corridor soooooo
The way everytime Emily turns around a new local hottie is there making heart eyes at her? Never seen that outside of badly written fanfiction hghjghjgjhg
@@dani-hc9ch I've seen great writers on Wattpad who aren't able to afford to go through the publication process. I wouldn't generalize the entire userbase.
Can we talk about how they’re constantly “bumping into one another” even though Paris is HUGE and doesn’t only consist of the same 4 or 5 people. Also that one scene where mindy starts singing in the park and everyone surrounds her is so cringe. This show was all too predictable and probably the worst show I’ve ever seen lol.
@@alukam3986 and I find it a bit racist that the only POC on the show are the stereotypical sassy gay guy and an Asian pop star with a rich father who wants her to stay in the family business. Like giving advice and being a disgraced pop star were her only personality traits?
💀💀💀💀 you said it all. but omitted the part where she slept with a 17 year old and the writer's glossed over it and played it off as a joke. normalizing "accidentally" predatory behavior, Emily is such a queen 😌💁💅
I feel like Emily is that type of person who thinks that they are fashionable/passionate about fashion just because they wear designer clothes, but don't have an actual sense of fashion or style.
WHY did they have her sleep with a minor and then act like that was just a funny little accident?? emily slept with her client's teenaged son and they didn't FIRE her???????? also i reaaaally hated how she took photos of strangers without asking them and posted them online. like the photos of the women smoking outside a gym (or cycling studio or something) like why
Not only was it her client’s son but her FRIEND’S younger brother. After she made out with said friend’s boyfriend. And all she gets is a laugh out of this friend.
ishei You make a great point but the series was obviously made for American audiences and the way the age thing was handled so bad in comparison to how she’s seen other aspects of French culture. She can’t wrap her head around the work culture or the language or her steak but sleeping with a 16 year old? Totally okay in her book.
when i was watching moderngurlz video i did a double take and had to rewind the video when i heard that "she took photos of someone elses meal" ok a bit annoying but okay "slept with her friends underage brother" ILLEGAL, emily
Getting real sick of these shows and movies about the "hero" American showing up all the "dumb" foreigners in their own country. It doesn't make me feel better as an American, it just gives me second-hand embarrassment and anxiety about visiting other countries.
@T K it honestly annoys white people, too, even though we're not personally disrespected by it and we're not the ones on the receiving end of that racist and exploitative culture.
get ready to see some american saviors in films about the covid-19 pandemic, when in reality the usa literally held on to respirators from china that were supposed to come to brazil
Sorry but it's kinda true that I don't want to be associated in an American group of people when I travel in other countries... I see a lot of Americans being super loud and sometimes rude.. Désolée je suis nulle en anglais mais vous avez compris l'idée haha
i mean it would make sense if their goal is to reach an american market but emily is never shown working towards reaching an american market only a french one
wasn't it a clause in the contract brought upon by the chicago company? Not sure but that's what I thought (otherwise, yeah it wouldn't make any sense)
Hahah same, I watched the show and went "a little boring, a little mean towards the French and some ugly outfits, but entertaining enough", then started watching all these videos and now I'm all anti-Emily xD All these videos are so entertaining and soooo true!
She dresses like a 12 year old, it works on a younger person (tween age) but makes Emily a professional person look juvenile and childish, stomping her feet when she doesn't get what she wants.
I never watched this show, but judging from its' fragments, Emily's boss is actually always right when criticizing her. Like she can't be even considered mean, because everything she says about Emily is right, and Emily is so ignorant and rude
Yea the boss was expecting an employee from america with understanding of the language and French culture and she got emily... I would be disappointed too
No, the boss is correct. See the thing is, the boss expected an American who had studied French in college and is also a one with expertise on fashion. Instead, cos the friend couldn't go, they got Emily who doesn't speak a hint of French besides bonjour, uses a translation app for French, and does not know shit about fashion. Hell, she was a marketer for fucking medicine before she came to Paris.
yes ikr? did u see her outfit in her last scene, all white with glamourous and with that hat she looked like the white queen, which the producers said it was intended, how thoughtful
@@mauriciolasch @Mauricio Lch I'm guessing that you got your education in the US if you're going to start your sentence with "actually." The comment I made was not a diss on the US or the people living there, but it is the common belief held by many living in Europe (sans Britain) that Americans always focuses the narrative around their own experience, not considering that the complex experiences of others are similar to their own. Which makes their experiences not unique. This was what my comment was all about, the show Emily in Paris pefectly encapsulates this concept while being completely tone deaf at the same time.
I hate how she really doesn't have to work...posts a couple of pictures, becomes an influencer in 2 days, gets her way with everybody, makes deals with billionaires with zero effort!!!!!!
It’s mindless and entertaining, which is exactly the palate cleanser I needed for 2021. But yeah, it’s SO SO SO stupid, I can’t even defend watching it
And I’m totally gonna hate watch another season when it comes out lol. Can’t wait to see her get made VP of the firm, falling ass backwards into success, as I roll my eyes and yell at my screen
y’all when Emily said “Outlet mall in Winnetka” it literally sent me because I went to school in Winnetka, Illinois and it is one of the richest areas in Illinois. If you remember the home alone house, it’s located in Winnetka, Illinois and most of the houses in the neighborhood are as big if not bigger. The people who live there would definitely NOT shop at outlet malls and it just goes to show the depth of research the creators of the show did.
Its like a boomer wrote a series about all the bad stereotypes about younger millennials. Like how we are self absorbed and have everything handed to us. LOL because I def didn't sympathize with her.
Especially that weird fluffy tank top. Is it cute or is it just on a pretty thin girl? It really shows how the industry sort of uses very thin women because they are so easy to design for. No offense, skinny women. You deserve lovely and fashionable clothes too, just the fashion industry really needs to branch out more.
I enjoyed the show, but the plot is ridiculous. This young american girl comes to Paris, and everything she does ends up working out and she is somehow the smartest person at the agency. She magically becomes an influencer by posting boring selfies most of the time. Every man just can't stay away from her. Her clothing is such a disaster. I really don't understand why she is wearing random items of clothing at work, apparently she doesn't want to look professional at all. She is young, not extremely wealthy, but has lots of Chanel and doesn't repeat her outfits. She took all that clothing to Paris to only wear it once?
@@Silburific Hahaha, so true. Carrie wore that huge dress that cost $80,000, if I remember correctly. She suddenly must have become a very good and well paid writer.
Emily dressed like there was a different stylist every day, none of them were allowed to talk to each other, they had a minimum budget of 500 dollars an outfit, and none of them had the same details about her personality
Yeah! I got annoyed that she was complaining about everything and act like the French people are wrong. I was shocked that she messed up the date/month/year thing at the restaurant, or that she repeatedly tried to open the wrong apartment door, and telling the people that the way Europeans count is 'Nonsense' 🙄
Because that’s what Americans do. When a foreigner is in the US they MUST know the language and rules, but when an American is in another country they just expect everyone to fit into their form.
Her apartment is HUGE (by Paris standards) and location is amazing. I automatically assumed someone was paying for her to live there. There’s no way she could’ve afforded that apartment on $55k a year. A dear friend of mine, in his 50s can afford a studio in an ok location in Paris, his only home, and he WORKS. He’s a manager of a printing company.
@Tekla Sulukhia in almost every (if not a good majority) movies set in france, every main character has a nice apartment near a famous monument with a breath taking view of paris, which is unrealistic af seeing the backgrounds these characters often come from.
Its so funny that they mention that her appartment is a "chambre de bonne" (litteraly meaning housekeeper room, which are small appartments under the roofs). Cause her appartement looks NOTHING like it. I live in paris in an ACTUAL "chambre de bonne" and they re usually max 10 square feet and no toilets. This is so unbelievably inaccurate lmao. Her appartment is just an appartment and its actually quite large for paris. And i dont know what disctrict she lives in, but by the looks of it her place would cost between 900 to 1400 euros a month which would equates to 1100 - 1700 american dollars.
As a marketing manager myself, she could easily be making enough to afford 1100 a month. So, I don't think that's unreasonable. Her designer wardrobe however....
They act like influencers suddenly gain 1 million followers for posting a very average picture of a cheeseburger that has no reedeming qualities whatsoever.
@@montag5248 if you hate something like that, it's probably fun to watch people diss it \also these 2 UA-camrs have a similar style, aka when I saw this video, I thought that it's follow up to moderngurlz video, because I wasn't sure who uploaded video 1
I have to say this, Winnetka is one of the most bougie towns in Illinois. The people that live there are so rich. I went to school there. The fact that she could afford to shop at an outlet mall in Winnetka, shows that she is richer than she is letting on. Either that or the writers did no research. Just to give you an idea of what Winnetka is like, Winnetka is where the Home Alone house is located.
Same I lived nearby, the houses there are at LEAST $3million. (Other notable homes include Cameron's house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Michael Jordan's house)
Another criticism for this show is about Emily lacking a compelling backstory. We know more about her friend Mindy. We learned how she wanted to go away from her controlling family and her embarassment for a failed pusuit of her dream to be a singer so she went to Paris. Emily does not have that foundation. She was just this girl who had to go to Paris for work then oh la lala bonjour je ne sais quo it's so cool yadda yadda. No wonder it is not so easy to root for her.
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Emily is the protagonist. So is Tori (miss that show). But they are nit as well developed as other characters. Tori is more well done than Emily though.
@@hardcandy9880 protagonist is not the main character. you can be a main character and be the antagonist. example: walter white from breaking bad. both tori and emily are the main characters in their own shows yet they are antagonists because they are both self centered characters and destroy relationships of other people
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Hi. No, I disagree. I think you are confusing villain and hero vs antagonist and protagonist. When you say protagonist, it means you are following the story in his or her pov. He or she is the focus of the story Regardless if he is good or bad. Just the same, the antagonist is someone who is against the protagonist, regardless if he is good or bad. Lets have Dexter for example. He is the main character, the story revolves around him. That makes him the protagonist. Is he a hero? No. Because he is a killer. So he could be the villain, but protagonist just the same. Also, protagonists are allowed to have flaws. You said Tori and Emily are selfish and such. That doesnt remove their protagonism, since the story is still about them. No protagonist is perfect. Almost all have flaws. Remember: 1.) Protagonist/antagonist - determined if the story is about them 2.) Hero/villain - determined if they are good or bad
@@ethanpu8221 yeah but take into account that she’s always eating out , buying wine, and has to still pay rent. Designers like Dior and Prada tend to cost up to thousands of dollars per piece and so far from what we’ve seen of the character, she doesn’t seem fiscally conservative. You’d have a hard time convincing me at this point that she just loots through the Ogdenville Outlet Mall looking for $90 pink Chanel suits.
@@kimedits22 she seemed like she was pretty good at her job which would mean quarterly bonuses? And maybe she was buying a lot of preloved? But I do agree that the chanel is still pretty out of her budget. She could probably afford preloved Dior. The prices drop so much.
À mon avis Emily est plus cliché que le reste. Franchement je suis aussi une expat en France et j’étais surprise car je me suis revue dans mes premiers temps en France. C’est juste elle qui est un cliché de l’américaine géniale à 20 ans, mal habillée en pensant d’être élegante, la seule à savoir faire du business (côté marketing-comm les français sont super doués, voyons!), et en plus on dirait une sainte! Mais le reste...désolée de vous dire que du point de vu de qui arrive en France, les premiers temps sont tout à fait similaires. 😹 Ah, full disclosure: j’aime ma vie en France.
I watched a video from a brazilian tiktoker and she gave me another perspective of the outfits. The fact that it actually portrays this caricatured American woman who travels to France, with a superficial view of the country and culture (a prejudiced and stigmatized view) and who uses several haute couture brands at the same time because she thinks that makes her part or superior to it. It's a big irony, so it makes sense that she doesn't care when she meets the designer, if it was important to her, she wouldn't dress like that.
Here’s the tea: Camille is a sweetheart who deserves the world and she deserves good people in her life not a horrible best friend and boyfriend who sleep with each other behind her back. Also is no one gonna talk about how Emily slept with a teen lol
@Harley Q To be fair that was the main relationship in Pretty Little Liars and to make it worse, he was her teacher on top of that. And that was marketed towards teens who generally seemed to think it was cute, normal and wanted their own Mr Fitz to date. It was hella creepy but the show/network it aired on never really approached it as if it was (not to me at least).
The whole time I was thinking “they’re such nice pieces in the mix and it breaks my heart to see them styled so badly. give them to someone who knows how to style them!*cough* me *cough*”
I just watched this video, never actually seen Emily, but I hated every single outfit Mina showed. even the Audrey Hepburn one, and I love Audrey Hepburn! it just seemed so out of place in all of her randomness. 😢
Imagine if this was Emily in Berlin instead of Paris, and they butchered the culture of Berlin and then told the Germans that they have no sense of humour when they called the series out.
Instead of the berets she just randomly wears lederhosen all the time. On her first day, she's punctual because the Deutsche Bahn got her to work on time. All of the coworkers speak flawless English, except for a 25-year-old guy called Horst, who randomly speaks like Hitler. Every German word spoken on the show is aggressively yelled. The only food seen and eaten in the show is a comically burned bratwurst. On a special occasion, Emily decides that Audrey Hepburn is too cliché, so she dresses up as Angela Merkel instead. She works as a marketing manager for the CDU and her goal is to attract young voters. It works. She has an erotic affair with Philipp Amthor, who is played by Ryan Gosling.
@@slormworm4732 I love this but I just want to ask what you meant with the Deutsche Bahn being punctual because I use the Bahn at least once a week and they are rarely perfectly on time it’s always that the train is late or the train drives away too early and sometimes it just randomly stops on the tracks for ten minutes. It’s a whole mess
@@maruhelm9818 lol same It was meant as a joke to show that the writers didn't bother to research enough. Like how in Emily in Paris people constantly smoke at work inside the building even though it was made illegal in like 2007 or something. Germans instantly know that "Deutsche Bahn" and "punctual" don't go together but an American audience probably won't notice or care lol One time my train home was cancelled while I was INSIDE the moving train! They just let us out in the middle of nowhere and left. You gotta love them lol
I see a lot of people defending the tv show, saying that this serves more as escapism. Aaah yes, tv shows about Americans making fool out of themselves, showing their usa centric butt and disrespecting the people that they visit, classic escapism.
@Cokolada Fano - exactly . So much over- analysis over a silly show . I thoroughly enjoyed it and the entire time accepted it as ludicrous yet diverting . I don’t require everything I ingest to be accurate , sometimes I crave a little nonsense , a little exaggeration.
I lived in France and got used to detaching myself from other Americans. I could recognize how disrespectful she was, and how exaggerated the mean French people trope was but let people enjoy things
@@livelovelena4189 it’s the white booties with everything and the ugly mixed patterns with all the bright colors give me Bella Thorne's character I don’t remember her name
One of the things that irked me was that every little thing she would do...would work out. It was too perfect. Like a perfect little American girl, saving the day. Idk if that makes sense No hate. Perhaps it’s just not the type of show for me.
Maybe that IS Emily's character-yknow, trying to be fashionable by wearing designer, but not actually understanding fashion concepts to have cohesive looks, often allowing herself to be overwhelmed by her influences to the point where she DOESNT make up her mind with her own style she'd copy everything down to Hepburn but like a bad knockoff. She's a character that doesnt understand herself, all she knows is the aspirational parisian life she's seen in the media and she attempts to copy it without ACTUALLY respecting Parisian lifestyle, culture, and fashion
I think this is what they were going for but it was completely undermined by not having Emily change at all to show that her point of view was wrong or show that the French’s criticism of her was not far off. Wasted opportunity.
Than the writers would’ve wrote that flaw into the show. Your character headcannon is never actively depicted so it can be assumed the writers weren’t ever going for that.
Also harper was chaotically dressed but there's something 'iconic' and overall good looking about how harper dresses. She stays within the theme of her outfit while being outlandish, so it doesn't come off as if harper's wearing it because she's harper and shes chaotic it comes off as if she took the time to put the outfit together because she likes how it look. Emily is fashionable because she's in paris and a hallmark of pairs is fashion
At least Harper was a teenager and her outfits looked cheap enough to be believable. Emily was an adult in the fashion industry, but she still somehow had the fashion sense of a toddler, while still making it expensive
If she was a real midwest pharmaceutical rep girl, she would definitely not have that kind of a wardrobe. She’d look nice and professional, not gaudy and overwhelming.
I sometimes got the feeling that the intent was to create “gossip girl groupie now has money and buys designer everything but can’t put together a cohesive outfit” and I feel like that would make sense for her character the individual pieces are beautiful but together it’s a hot mess!
That was the impression I got, as well. She seems like the sort of person who equates money with taste, and doesn't really have a sense of style of her own besides just putting a bunch of expensive items together and calling it "fashion."
I thought the joke was that Emily loves expensive clothes, but doesn't have enough "class" to know how to create an ensemble with them. Like..... she aspires to these fictionalized ideals that don't exist. But she doesn't realize that because she doesn't understand things beyond a surface level. Which represents her whole personality pretty well.
Thank you! Can I also just say I'm so tired of people trying to say it's "just a show" or "just escapism"? Like I still want my escapism to be good or at least fun. This show wasn't over-the-top enough to be campy, and it wasn't smart enough to be satire. It was just bad and horrendously outdated in every sense of the word. The editing, acting, script, styling were atrocious, so can we stop trying to justify this poorly made piece of media?
May I remind you that it’s JUST A SHOW! It’s unapologetically unrealistic and silly and not meant to be analyzed so deeply. Maybe it’s not your escapism but it defines the word for some. Idk man, this negativity is irritating
I agree and I get that people sometimes just wanna watch something fun where they can 'turn their brains off' but as someone who's into filmmaking there is SO much unnoticed talent out there and so many unique and fresh ideas and none of that gets a chance and instead a million shit netflix shows get pumped out. To me it's kinda perverse and a degradation of the film industry
Her character made no since with her background story either. And her fashion choices were those left in the early 2000s. Not anywhere near what is inspiring fashion now.
Why is the one gay man in the show have that overused trope where “omg he’s so sassy and that’s his whole personality and that’s it” at least he’s a poc but it doesn’t make it any better and shows and movies need to stop with this stereotype and actually bring some new material to the table
@@amia560 If you’re telling them to add poc simply to be ‘inclusive’, then they would still be a token character. You know poc make movies and shows too yeah? If you don’t watch those, that’s not other media’s fault.
they really said how can we make as many people as possible white and straight? oh, let's make the one black guy gay as well and tick both those boxes... ughhhhh I HATE TOKENISM
You can tell the Audrey Hepburn tribute was just because someone (probably Patricia) thought “well we have to put her in something Audrey-esque. Lily looks so much like Audrey!” And yeah, she does. But how boring and obvious is that?
Also, I know you said you weren’t going to review the show, just the fashion. But you kinda did end up reviewing the show, and it was a good review. I would have definitely been down for a full length review from you.
It was a nod to Audrey in the film Funny Face -- another instance of an American going to Paris and not accepting the fashion industry (paving her own way, talking with philosophers in cafes, etc.). But in the end Audrey has no say and lets people from a fashion magazine dress and define her... So Emily in Paris may then be a modern take on that film, however it's even more Francophobic/Americentric. Stereotypes of Paris and French men especially are used in Funny Face. But at least Audrey as a character was more relatable, and she WANTED to understand French philosophy 😂
I don’t really agree, I think her outfits make sense because she’s such a bad, internally hideous character that it just makes sense to dress her up in the worst outfits known to man
but theres still the question of affordability, like she can easily dress ugly with walmart clothing idk why they decided to do it with chanel and louboutin 😅
Then why is she buying designer? She isn't rich/doesn't come from a rich background, unless she is someone who really cares about labels and trends she wouldn't be decked in head to toe in Chanel.
I don’t know how she affords it , it’s probably an oversight from the producer in this .. but all I’m saying is she manages to disrespect everything and even manages to disrespect designer clothing lol
As someone who isn’t from the US but currently lives there for education. I cam guarantee you that the whole education system is ignorant to other countries and depending on what state it is also completely biased lmao.
I think your in a bad state, I came here to study and I'm learning EXACTLY what I learned in other countries and there is no bias whatsoever. The issue with American education isn't that its all and, its just that states can choose if they want to make it bad or not
@@hinklefamily1831 im in cali lol. I go to ucla. A lot of my other friends in different unis and states says the same thing as i. I guess it depends what classes people take too. But idk it’s based on my personal experience and what i heard from a lot of people.
@@dupaleepa5331 oh geez, I'm sorry. Its weird hearing how a place like UCLA is like that. I guess Idaho is different. Well, I still hope other then education things are going well, the states are a mess rn, but there's a lot in still grateful for and I think we can pull through and fix things (it seems we prolly gotta fix our education in some places too)
the devil wears prada makes more sense but still i really do hate the submissive personnality of andy and the normalization (is it a english word ? sorry im french)of toxic work ambiance. also the body shaming was disgusting "6" when she was not even obese. but still it makes more sense than the netflix show. about the price of her appartment i would say it would been around 1000-1200 euros/ per month, prices are so high in paris insane
the fat shaming was terrible. like i'm not even upset about the others bullying her for wearing a 6, since it would have been a statement about the fashion industry, but just the way she proudly states that she's a 4 now ... that's what i found really harmful. but i have to disagree with you on the toxic work place bit, because i feel like that's the point of the movie and the reason why she gives up the job
@@timecrayon tbh i love that the movie lets Andy "adapt" to "size 4" thing as a symbol of blending in to remain in the dream position and this fancy industry, a "little price" she has to pay? It's quite realistic imo, the fashion industry cant be any less toxic and body shaming than this right? Then Andy realizes it not much later, as it costs her herself, her values, her relationships. And she's back to herself. Probably back to her being 6 and regular eating as well. Without the price she paid, we cant see her journey, and see how she gets back to herself.
I agree on the fat-phobia (even if it's not always black and white, for example Emily's ridiculous diet is mocked, but being super skinny is overall glamorized in the movie). But the point of the movie was to show that the work environment is toxic. Andy's real moment of growth is her quitting her job, realising she needs to stand up to Miranda's and the industry's bullshit, it's not when she has a makeover and looses weight!
From a French person who lived in Paris for a few years, Parisian housing prices are horrendous. That said, these "chambres de bonnes" are typically the only thing students with no income can afford. When you live in one of those, you certainly don't buy Chanel every other day. Haven't seen the show but from what you describe, no, her housing situation doesn't add up either with her shopping habits, wardrobe, or job.
Her place is a two room appartment in the 5th arrondissement, fully furnished. Around 2000 € per month. Also her job wouldnt pay more than about 2500€ / month considering her age and position. A job a real life person could'nt keep as a non french speaker but that's another story.
@@maellea8437 I keep seeing people say this. Another thing the show got wrong. In the show, the guy showing her the apt said it was which is apparently much bigger than it’s suppose to be, according to all the French people chiming in. This show is ridiculous.
"You silly American, you have nothing to lose but your chains" made me burst out laughing. 10/10 the best thing I've seen in any video about Emily in Paris.
When Mina said Emily wore those giant Louis Vuitton heels in a city with a bunch of cobblestones my eyes bugged. That's a health hazard and a waste of time.
even worse, they're actually Louboutins, which cost upwards of $800, are typically very uncomfortable, and worn pretty much exclusively by celebrities and people who are stupid rich. there's no way her character would own those, it just does't make any sense.
And the red soles scratch so easily so she would ruin them in one day walking on cobblestones. I swear those shoes are only meant for the red carpet and the bedroom lol...
I hate heels and I would never wear them to go somewhere. Even in my city are a lot of cobblestone streets and we‘re all wearing sneakers. Buuut... I‘m living close to france and paris and I was there for the holidays like 8 times. Women there actually wear those shoes on the streets!! Even nearly 15 years ago. It‘s unbelievable! So that part of emily in paris wasn‘t even THAT unrealistic
This was my take and I honestly think that's what Patricia Field was going for as well, however, the script and the direction of the show makes it seem as aspirational, since Emily is so perfect and everyone else seems to be the problem. I honestly think Patricia Field read the script and envisioned the show as a comedy of this uncultured American trying to pass off as fashionable in Paris.
@@Melvito2 agreed. The show is light hearted escapism and her barely believably luck (and bad luck) are part of the quirk of the show. The characters are all exaggerated almost as if we are viewing them through Emily’s perspective... that’s my take but my we are reading too much into it here! I enjoyed being distracted during corona times
==as a french I found emily's outfits horrificl and I loooved her boss's style and I liked her french blond friend's style, which was extremely accurate, that's how a typical parisian girl looks like
As an American I want to apologize for the show. Most of us HATE IT, but recently the reviewer la of tv and films have been promoting shows we all hate. Our reputation is already being run into the ground so the last thing I want is for this to ruin it and want people to understand literally no one knows why this got aired
@@hinklefamily1831 why would you apologize lmao ? Don't worry, us French don't care Every country has problems, America have good sides and bad sides just like us ! That's an unpopular opinion but I find Emily in Paris funny, it criticize everybody, us and Americans. I think it meant to be 2nd degree, a lot of French comedy are like this.
@@luiysia it was good but many fans over the years have expressed how certain aspects of the female friendships and female characters' behaviors were off because they were formed through a male lens
@@luiysia Certainly SATC made more sense than this show, but they had female writers. I mean I remember watching interviews ... Also SATC was based on a book written by a woman. Yeah I mean they were more men oriented, some of them, but some women are two. And they do show us the girls having other interests, just there is only so much it can fit into a 20 something minutes episode... I mean when we watch crime shows we are rarely shown the life of the crime investigators outside of work, yet we do know that they have private lives and sleep and eat and watch films etc. It is just that most of it is not relevant to be shown in a crime show. Same way in a show that focuses on relationships of main characters with men it makes sense that mostly what we see is them talking about those relationships? Except Carrie the three of them have jobs and are good at them, but the show is from Carrie's perspective and Carrie's job is to write about relationships 🤷🏻♀️ Emily's job is not wearing mismatched clothed all the time
@@jademerrick8758 I feel the same thing happens with women creators though. For some reason, not many people can represent how an actual woman is like. Have you seen Booksmart? It was written by a female but I feel like they just made the girls way too dramatic and I don't think most teen girls act that way. I honestly don't think it has to do with whether the writer was a male or a female. It just has to do with how observant and generally good the writer is.
I love lily collins and was excited to see her work but haven’t watched the show mainly because of the outfits 🤢 they look like randomized sims outfits and you’re totally right about them being an eye sore
I actually liked some of them but I felt like she almost always overdid things.. Plus how she afforded all these designer clothes and shoes was something I asked from the beginning.
Honestly euphoria served better outfits they even had each character have a color pallet that match their personality throughout the show and this was just a no
tbh nobody should criticize the sex in the city thing when it comes to her spending... like in the show it was stressed that she had a spending issue and the reason she got all that stuff is because she literally would put money on luxury items instead of bills or her rent lmao
Plus, let's be real here, Carrie actually wore a lot of the same clothes and pieces multiple times. It wasn't like she was always wearing a different outfit for every different occasion an episode.
@@rosesweetcharlotte well, she wasn't in satc there is only a few pieces that we can see more than 1 ( we can see shoes many times) we can only assume that she actually wear it more than one
I was already beyond done with Emily... but when she said she and her friends wanted to be Serena van der Woodsen, and not Blair Waldorf, that told me everything I needed to know.
And let's be honest, why would she be obsessed with Serena Van der Woodsen when the obvious and most poignant fashion icon of GG was Blair Waldorf, that just really bugged me
I think she probably said Serena because Serena was the “It Girl” of the Upper East Side and everyone did want to be like her... even Blair was very envious of her
My friend and I were just discussing how this show was trying to give off Sex and the City and Devil Wears Prada vibes...but it wasn't successful in providing the same atmosphere.
I interpreted her fashion sense as intentionally tragic to emphasize the lack of style mainstream Americans have; aka loud, incomprehensible, and hiding behind a label. I also felt that her flamboyant style extended to her personality in the fact that she dominated every social environment and felt extremely entitled. Clearly there is major stereotyping happening form French and American people that is extremely flawed but I feel like the same critique also applies to Sex and the City. Very cartoonish and distorted realities, oriented around a determined and quirky white female lead. The difference is we were made to love Sarah Jessica Parker, while Emily is very easy to dislike in our current time. One would argue they are essentially the same character, but the audience has evolved. I will add that I have never hated somebody's style so much as I dislike Emily's. It triggers my OCD, I refuse to believe it is not intentional. My biggest problem with the show is that Emily seems to always end up on top and with beautiful men which makes me suspect of the overall message.
@Marianna i agree completely. its usually not that deep! I think the audience has alot more complexity to be able to pick up on these nuances which makes this bland and syrupy show entertaining. When I watch garbage Tv i call it "research" to justify to my boyfriend lol.
@Marianna Yeah emily in Paris was great background television for my homework because the plotline was incredibly predictable and was pretty consistently bad so it wasn't distracting. Maybe I am not the best critic of the show because I half watched while doing school work. Unfortunately most modern television is in a downward spiral lacking any authenticity, its more about meeting a contract deadline with netflix. If the costume design was actually along the lines of sex and the city it could be borderline tolerable.
You know Emily is the stereotypical Netflix main character : She’s the epitome of basic She makes everything about herself She forces her ideas on people Slyvie has better style than her I’m sorry if I have hurt anybody’s sentiments or have been insensitive to certain issues the I meant the stereotypical Netflix character most of them are white and American but It doesn’t mean I should’ve said American. My sincerest apologies
@@hayoonpark7454 Same. Im black and Every-time I see someone talk about America think back to how I ‘m not supposed to be here. The whites took us from where we supposed to be. They take everything😔 being a POC is hard here, and the conservatives just don’t understand....
Gotta give the show some credit for making an extremely unlikable character and proving that being pretty isn’t everything and having actual character development is important
the flat she has is at LEAST 1300€/month and it isnt a 'chambre de bonne', a chambre de bonne is like 10 square meters lol. And you need to earn 3 times the rent to have a chance to get the place.
Yessss I was waiting for someone to say something about that! That place would be really pricey for one person to handle alone, with no partner or flatmate to share the expense... and it doesn't seem to be in a super dodgy area/outside the city (hadn't seen the show, could be wrong) so it's another huge LOL from me
@@emilytanner9741 y'know what's funny? is that had the show actually been titled this, it would've hit different! emily's ridiculous outfits would suddenly take on a new meaning, her uncanny and unrealistic ability to win over the very people she's been insulting without improving anything about herself could've been a running gag about americans selfish entitlement (and their delusions about not being either of those things). probably would've pissed off a bunch of americans but hey, i think they could do with being made fun of a little more in popular fiction. if anything this show serves as a great example of how frequently the US loves taking a dump on other countries and their cultures for the purpose of "humour". or just for the purpose of trying to make themselves look good - i'm looking at you, US news outlets!
I just find it so weird when people say "the French are so rude" when they've probably never stepped outside of Paris. It's kind like what some people say about New Yorkers. Except, they aren't being rude they're just trying to live their life and aren't selling themselves as part of any tourist package
Parisians are rude. Lmao..the rest of France is okay.. Montreal people can be super rude if you don't try to speak French at least but the rest of Quebec is ridiculously nice.
Most of the complaints about Parisians is usually some sort of racism or xenophobia they exhibit. Most ppl don’t have a problem with New York bc they’re generally more direct and not worried about others, can’t say the same about Paris
Parisians and french people in general are SO RUDE, like i don’t Know why others countries are obsessed with France but majority of people in here are just racist and rude (from a french girl)
Y’all take the ignorant white Americans and somehow are able to generalize an entire country with 300 million people, yet you all get mad when someone says that Parisians are rude, which is true
100% agree. The writers could’ve easily written in her (crazy rich Asian) friend lending her tons of high end clothes or even recommending Emily a designer clothing rental service
I'm French and this show offended me honeslty. I just hope that people are not dumb enough to believe this is an accurate portrayal of my culture and its people. Also Americans need to stop thinking they are the center of the world and better than everyone else.
@@emberhorgan7367 No, a lot of us know that this show is really bad. Only really, *really* ignorant people will think that Paris is like this. Otherwise, majority of watchers are that stupid.
As an American I'm sorry about this show. Most of us HATED it and have no idea why it was aired. Most of us don't think of ourselves as the center of the world, just the media does, and it losses us off that our own media pushes that agenda onto us. I'm sorry
I agree. Come from modest background, studied and worked in Fashion. This is total ignorant bullshit and so offending. I don’t know why America seems to always portrayed Paris the same way, like it is Disneyland... I feel embarrassed for the actress who had to play the role.
@@hinklefamily1831 As an American, I would hate to be lumped in that “self-centered and unaware ugly American” stereotype. I did, however, do a study abroad in Spain once. This is what 95% of us looked like. Emily reminds me very much of one girl in particular. I think she was the prototype for this character actually lol
I've got a theory: Emily is so badly dressed because the costume designer had realised the kind of nonsense this Netflix series is. So she decided to design the worst outfits she could possibly come up with as a revenge. As you more or less said yourself, Emily is a terrible character who does not change. So why should it be different when it comes to her outfits?
Hi ! French subscriber here :) First, thank you for this video, I pretty much agree with everything you said ! At first I was excited to see a Paris-based Netflix show but I (and so were my friends) was at least disappointed, at most disgusted. As usual, Paris can't be anything but the city of love and fashion : booooring, and untrue for most people living there, no mention of the time spent in public transportation, food and life prices (she is living in a HUGE apartment for Paris, the prices in the center town are about 700€/month for 17 square meters, and it's not rare to have a shared bathroom with your neighbourgs, and it's a pain in the ass to actually get an apartment because there are so many people on the waiting list). French people have to be rude (maybe true in fashion, maybe true in the most competitive city where everybody is rushed and struggling all the time) but it's 2020 can we stop generalising pleaaaase (plus as you said Emily is the ultimate "american thinking everybody should speak english for her and adapt to her in every way", so no sympathy from me). French boys/men are flirty, amazingly good looking and working with their hands while all being artists at heart (it's a fantasy I get it but again, quite repetitive, and not true). The fact that Emily's only french girl friend has a freaking castle and a family making champagne I mean come on, could you BE anymore cliché ? Most castles in France are inhabited, because a castle is cold, unpractical and way too expensive to maintain. I was (just as you were), shocked by what she was wearing, by the obvious price (because she had to pay for it by herself, she wasn't working directly in fashion where she could borrow stuff on exceptions), and the lack of coordination/thought behind her outfits (and the béret... NO ONE wears bérets anymore except tourists, stop it). Oh and the famous "french people hate working, are lazy blablabla" : we do work less than most countries if you're counting hours but it has been showed that we are way more productive, so it balances out. And yes, as everywere, most people don't like their jobs but we need to eat so we do it anyway, I guess the difference is that compagnies here don't expect us to be (or pretend to be) all the time enthousiastic about it, as long as things get done. So in conclusion I'm just disappointed to see once again the same picture of France, Paris, French people and culture, when it's 2020 and even if you stopped at Paris and didn't explore the rest of the country, there is so much more to see ! Thank you again for the video, sorry for the rant (: (PS : if you ever meet us you'll see that we do take showers, wear deodorant, are polite and welcoming if you don't behave like an entilted prick :)
@@MulberrySeason You're right, I've never seen a compagny open at 10, I would say people go to work at around 8:30, maybe 9, but if you come in at 10 you better have a good excuse ^^ And maybe every "south european" who goes on vacations for more than 2 days a year is considered lazy in the "american point of view" of Emily haha
As a Northern/Eastern European, we do generally think Southern Europeans are lazy, not specifically just the French. But like, in a loving way. 👀 In, like, a "lucky you, you get to be lazy" kind of way. 👀
I’ve never heard French are lazy stereotype (until this Netflix drama). When I lived in Paris for a short while, work typically started at 8.30 whereas in the City (London) I always started at 9.30. The hours weren’t that different though - I think any major city has long hours depending on the work industry. I did find the Parisians ruder than in London but I loved the honesty. I think Parisians don’t respect someone coming and making no effort to speak the language and fit in with the culture. If you give them that basic respect then you will find that the rudeness is no longer directed at you but at other arrogant tourists/ expats.
I’m only a quarter french but this film offended me so much and I don’t get offended that much, everything about this show is for Americans, (not even slightly for Europeans) it’s not for the french which is where it’s set which sucks. Also how many more stereotypes could they fit in
kind of an odd show also anyone else tired of american in paris media? can we get like a latina in korea show or an american in brazil or a portuguese in japan, like all those sound so much more interesting bc it hasnt been done before, or at least not nearly as much
Emily is supposed to be likable to people who had never worked a job in their life. Imagine you get someone on your job one day without knowing the language and being told “she is your boss now” no. I would hate her as well
how did she become "famous" in like a week by posting random, bad quality photos of paris on her instagram? that was one of the most ridiculous aspects of the show for me
bro ikr and then they made her delete the instagram? but she kept posting so it made no sense
probably cause people like to see someone else “living a dream”. When a youtuber lives in NY or Japan they usually follow them just for that aspect
@@kaiaric and how patricia somehow understood english in later episode when in the first one she doesnt understand at all
@@jelkafabianova2801 but they were already influencers, so it’s easier, plus they know what it takes for people liking your stuff, and they just take advantage of the fact they are in a place people like more. But Emily? You CANOT get ig famous like that, your selfie in lark sis one in a million. No one uses that type of hashtags. It seems easy but it takes a lot of work to get real instagram followers, and you need to be constantly posting and interacting (which makes no sense for Emily since she is solo used it alwaybe at work and only post when she goes out for a run, or while she on her way to her job)
literally, it’s so hard to get famous on insta and her feed was so bad
emily is a poorly written mary sue fanfiction self-insert. it's why all her clothes look like those outfit collages people used to use on wattpad lol
it’s funny bc they always use lily collins too 😭
im screenshotting cuz this is the most accurate description
oh my god you're so right
OH MY GOD YES THEY ARE A BIT WATTPAD SKSJSJS
Lily Collins is literally the Wattpad yn
If she was really in Paris, she'd be an intern working as a waiter at night to afford her room in an apartment with three roommates.
exactly, paris is like one of the most expensive cities in the world, but she just throws money on clothes (and she doesn’t look too passionate either)
😂😂😂 mybe three jobs aside from her main job .
@@-starvs213 more like knowing how to look good without buying name brands. That is French way. They will by name brand on most important thing to use and last longer.
And have the toilet seat right next to her bed in her 8m2 room in the shared flat. A room that costs 800€ a month. I'm not even exaggerating
Not to be that guy but the show literally does explain this (she’s there on an extended work trip, and they pay for her accomodation)
Its not that far fetched, at about her age (25) I did a secondment into our London office which was entirely paid for (flights, accomodation, etc) from Australia. I wasn’t that senior in my workplace either (~3 years experience). Sometimes these opportunities come up. It was a nice apartment in central London too
I don’t know why, but Emily in Paris looks like such a 2010-2015 show… even the fashion seems to fit that time period. It’s really weird, doesn’t feel like a 2020 series.
To me, it feels like a mexican soap opera that tried and failed miserably to be "ironically woke" and just ended up being blatantly insensitive and cringy
That's what I was thinking, take out the sexual stuff and you've got an early 2010's disney channel movie where [insert pop singer here] gets her dream job in Paris
The clothes reminded me so much of what my fellow study-abroad FIT classmates were wearing circa 2006. They were all Midwest teens heavily influenced by Sex And The City.
It was absolutely incredible how devoted those girls were to wearing stillettos on cobblestones every single day.
It being set in 2010 would make so much more sense. That's the year Instagram launched, and Emily's poorly framed photos with cheesy captions might have actually gotten her famous if she was an early adopter.
Exactly what I was thinking. They all dress like it's the early 2010s. No reference to current trends whatsoever.
the fact that emily is supposed to be a likeable protagonist is beyond me
Shes like that MC from "Sarah (idk her last name) is a loser"
Literally. All Americans I know hate her and have no idea why this was allowed to air and feel terrible about Emily's subtle racism throughout the show
I love your pfp 😭
@@hinklefamily1831 how was she a racist?
@@narsis273 I said subtle racism. Basically, it's her whole thing of treating her nationality as more important then the french people around her. Not sure what you'd call racism to a specific nationality rather then actual race, so I just went with that
"Everything she suggests is a hit."
This is what I disliked about the show the most. It was so unrealistic and so irritating.
There's a line in there somewhere about her having a master's in marketing. So you can at least assume she's very educated, and she could come up with great ideas.
it’s a show made for entertainment and the whole paris cool aesthetic. what do you expect
The American girl who doesn’t speak the language nor understands the local market saves the day, whilst the entire french firm didnt know what they were doing - is essentially what they were trying to portray there 😐
@@xotoast her masters in marketing didn't show because she always had super random ideas and sometimes even made things viral by accident, not because shes a genius like the vagine jeun and she stared at her laptop for like 5 minutes at work every day and then ran off
@@Juliette5044 oh I agree completely. They did make it seems random or by luck 99% of the time. But having a master's almost explains that she could be just good at these things.
Emily's style is basically the use of "randomize sim" button.
That is so 100 percent perfect discription of her style
Exactly
Lmao
Just because this show is badly written doesn't mean the outfits are actually bad. Mina Le criticized this show's fashion and look at how she dresses here. That's the definition of clashing
YAAAAASSS!!!😂
Why is no one talking about the way that they hired a Korean woman to act as a Chinese character to spout disgusting things boosting stereotypes. She said many insensitive lines about the one child family law China had in its most poverty driven years just ignoring the deaths, an despair so many people experienced. It was actually disgusting.
ikr the ignorance and the racism to not just the token Asian smart mouth, but the token black gay. they're both harmful asf and so unfair considering that she's in PARIS and it only has TWO poc, and making those TWO SO ANNOYING. it's just white writers making these characters one dimensional and ignorant.
What's wrong with that? There are British actors playing French people, Polish actors playing Russian people, etc. It's just nationality within the same race. Don't be so touchy.
@@Catkovi Its wrong because they are making her talk about something that killed THOUSANDS of people. That's like if I were to hire an Indian person to talk about the loses in the bubonic plague and hurtful stereotypes. I'm also not understanding what you're saying about the races, Koreans and Chinese people are two different groups of people and just because they are asian doesn't mean they should be considered the same.
@@moyazhao4676 it's not like she was forced to tho? She can just not take the part. She knows what she has to say and what character she plays. Not arguing but I think it should go both ways.
@@ashkit1214 Thats beyond the point, people will naturally gravitate towards a role if 1.it pays well and 2.they person is an aspiring actor actress, etc. If you wanted to become a makeup artist wouldn't you take all the oppurtunities to get there? The point is that her character said bad things, yes she is wrong for accepting the role, but the main problem is with the directors/ writers.
Emily's apartment is huuuge for Paris. My aunt lives in Paris, she and her fiance have both worked in entertainment for like 20 years and theirs is smaller. It's also really hard to find apartments even if you're super rich
Yeah, paris is literally the most expensive city in the world to live in
Exactly! I used to live in Paris and I can say that a place of the size of Emily's costs at least 2.5k € rent a month.
RIGHT??? I had a francophile phase and wanted to live in Paris when I was younger, so I heavily researched apartments and the cost of living there. She would definitely need another job or a decent amount of savings to live there, Paris is soo expensive to live in.
@@cocoloresroth depends on the district, she's on the 5th right next to Panthéon so that's quite expensive, I wouldn't say 2 500euros though, more like 1 000euros. I live in a 22m2 2 bedroom appartement in district 19 and I pay 850euros.

@@alukam3986 and I find it a bit racist that the only POC on the show are the stereotypical sassy gay guy and an Asian pop star with a rich father who wants her to stay in the family business. Like giving advice and being a disgraced pop star were her only personality traits?

💀💀💀💀 you said it all. but omitted the part where she slept with a 17 year old and the writer's glossed over it and played it off as a joke. normalizing "accidentally" predatory behavior, Emily is such a queen 😌💁💅
I feel like Emily is that type of person who thinks that they are fashionable/passionate about fashion just because they wear designer clothes, but don't have an actual sense of fashion or style.
WHY did they have her sleep with a minor and then act like that was just a funny little accident?? emily slept with her client's teenaged son and they didn't FIRE her???????? also i reaaaally hated how she took photos of strangers without asking them and posted them online. like the photos of the women smoking outside a gym (or cycling studio or something) like why
Not only was it her client’s son but her FRIEND’S younger brother. After she made out with said friend’s boyfriend. And all she gets is a laugh out of this friend.
@@RogueVideoRaven emily honestly sucks
Just as a heads up, sexual majority in France is 15 years old legally, it's definitely different here - not as stigmatized as in the US
ishei You make a great point but the series was obviously made for American audiences and the way the age thing was handled so bad in comparison to how she’s seen other aspects of French culture. She can’t wrap her head around the work culture or the language or her steak but sleeping with a 16 year old? Totally okay in her book.
when i was watching moderngurlz video i did a double take and had to rewind the video when i heard that
"she took photos of someone elses meal" ok a bit annoying but okay "slept with her friends underage brother" ILLEGAL, emily
Getting real sick of these shows and movies about the "hero" American showing up all the "dumb" foreigners in their own country. It doesn't make me feel better as an American, it just gives me second-hand embarrassment and anxiety about visiting other countries.
Watch more foreign films. This narrative goes both ways. It's exhausting, regardless.
@T K it honestly annoys white people, too, even though we're not personally disrespected by it and we're not the ones on the receiving end of that racist and exploitative culture.

Désolée je suis nulle en anglais mais vous avez compris l'idée haha
The most absurd thing about the show is the idea that a French company would seek out “an American point of view” in the first place
Totally agree
i mean it would make sense if their goal is to reach an american market but emily is never shown working towards reaching an american market only a french one
wasn't it a clause in the contract brought upon by the chicago company? Not sure but that's what I thought (otherwise, yeah it wouldn't make any sense)
The French can't stand Americans, especially if they don't speak French, speak bad French, or are even slightly overweight.

I fell down the anti-Emily in Paris rabbit hole but the funniest thing is that every single criticism I've come across is 10000% valid lmao
Hahah same, I watched the show and went "a little boring, a little mean towards the French and some ugly outfits, but entertaining enough", then started watching all these videos and now I'm all anti-Emily xD All these videos are so entertaining and soooo true!
I am French and I found it funny, it's very 2nd degree and not serious Imo, it criticize American and French at the same time
off topic but YOUR PFP YES ABSOLUTELY 100%
she dresses like cece from shake it up and that's nowhere near a compliment
She dresses like Lola (Lily) from Hannah Montana
ok cece looked good in her times ok
She dresses like a 12 year old, it works on a younger person (tween age) but makes Emily a professional person look juvenile and childish, stomping her feet when she doesn't get what she wants.
yep she looks like a Disney channel character
This comment TOOK ME OUT! 😭
I never watched this show, but judging from its' fragments, Emily's boss is actually always right when criticizing her. Like she can't be even considered mean, because everything she says about Emily is right, and Emily is so ignorant and rude
i’ve watched it and you’re completely right
Yea the boss was expecting an employee from america with understanding of the language and French culture and she got emily... I would be disappointed too
No, the boss is correct. See the thing is, the boss expected an American who had studied French in college and is also a one with expertise on fashion. Instead, cos the friend couldn't go, they got Emily who doesn't speak a hint of French besides bonjour, uses a translation app for French, and does not know shit about fashion. Hell, she was a marketer for fucking medicine before she came to Paris.
I love Sylvie, she's my favorite character because she's so sensible.
Also Sylvie was a freaking balm for my eyes with her impeccable style.

@@mauriciolasch @Mauricio Lch I'm guessing that you got your education in the US if you're going to start your sentence with "actually." The comment I made was not a diss on the US or the people living there, but it is the common belief held by many living in Europe (sans Britain) that Americans always focuses the narrative around their own experience, not considering that the complex experiences of others are similar to their own. Which makes their experiences not unique. This was what my comment was all about, the show Emily in Paris pefectly encapsulates this concept while being completely tone deaf at the same time.

She magically becomes an influencer by posting boring selfies most of the time.
Every man just can't stay away from her.
Her clothing is such a disaster. I really don't understand why she is wearing random items of clothing at work, apparently she doesn't want to look professional at all. She is young, not extremely wealthy, but has lots of Chanel and doesn't repeat her outfits. She took all that clothing to Paris to only wear it once?

They missed sooo hard. Emily was so annoying, not learning french culture AT ALL. Why go to france if you wanna just stay in your bubble?
Exactly! How can someone be so damn ignorant? What is this supposed to show? The typical American? Great escapism
Yeah! I got annoyed that she was complaining about everything and act like the French people are wrong. I was shocked that she messed up the date/month/year thing at the restaurant, or that she repeatedly tried to open the wrong apartment door, and telling the people that the way Europeans count is 'Nonsense' 🙄
It's just a show. A very stupid one.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS EMILY IS ANNOYING
Because that’s what Americans do. When a foreigner is in the US they MUST know the language and rules, but when an American is in another country they just expect everyone to fit into their form.
Her apartment is HUGE (by Paris standards) and location is amazing. I automatically assumed someone was paying for her to live there. There’s no way she could’ve afforded that apartment on $55k a year. A dear friend of mine, in his 50s can afford a studio in an ok location in Paris, his only home, and he WORKS. He’s a manager of a printing company.
Doesn't the company she works for pay for the apartment?
@Tekla Sulukhia in almost every (if not a good majority) movies set in france, every main character has a nice apartment near a famous monument with a breath taking view of paris, which is unrealistic af seeing the backgrounds these characters often come from.

@@adeleaslan8182 no that was actually quite realistic. For the location the size and dinginess of the place was spot on

I was thinking the same thing!!! Like they tried I guess? But it just looks like her stylist didn't have the creative vision to make a decent outfit
Yes! I told my friend Emily looked like Lizzie McGuire
Its so funny that they mention that her appartment is a "chambre de bonne" (litteraly meaning housekeeper room, which are small appartments under the roofs). Cause her appartement looks NOTHING like it. I live in paris in an ACTUAL "chambre de bonne" and they re usually max 10 square feet and no toilets. This is so unbelievably inaccurate lmao. Her appartment is just an appartment and its actually quite large for paris. And i dont know what disctrict she lives in, but by the looks of it her place would cost between 900 to 1400 euros a month which would equates to 1100 - 1700 american dollars.
This is cheap compared to where I live! Didn’t expect that

I have to say this, Winnetka is one of the most bougie towns in Illinois. The people that live there are so rich. I went to school there. The fact that she could afford to shop at an outlet mall in Winnetka, shows that she is richer than she is letting on. Either that or the writers did no research. Just to give you an idea of what Winnetka is like, Winnetka is where the Home Alone house is located.

That one line of "your language sucks" to a native speaker.....and we're supposed to root for emily?
Another criticism for this show is about Emily lacking a compelling backstory. We know more about her friend Mindy. We learned how she wanted to go away from her controlling family and her embarassment for a failed pusuit of her dream to be a singer so she went to Paris. Emily does not have that foundation. She was just this girl who had to go to Paris for work then oh la lala bonjour je ne sais quo it's so cool yadda yadda. No wonder it is not so easy to root for her.

pretty sure that's the point. similar to victorious by nick. tori (the main character) is not the protagonist. it's everyone around her.
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Emily is the protagonist. So is Tori (miss that show). But they are nit as well developed as other characters. Tori is more well done than Emily though.
@@hardcandy9880 protagonist is not the main character. you can be a main character and be the antagonist. example: walter white from breaking bad. both tori and emily are the main characters in their own shows yet they are antagonists because they are both self centered characters and destroy relationships of other people
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Hi. No, I disagree. I think you are confusing villain and hero vs antagonist and protagonist.
When you say protagonist, it means you are following the story in his or her pov. He or she is the focus of the story Regardless if he is good or bad. Just the same, the antagonist is someone who is against the protagonist, regardless if he is good or bad.
Lets have Dexter for example. He is the main character, the story revolves around him. That makes him the protagonist. Is he a hero? No. Because he is a killer. So he could be the villain, but protagonist just the same.
Also, protagonists are allowed to have flaws. You said Tori and Emily are selfish and such. That doesnt remove their protagonism, since the story is still about them. No protagonist is perfect. Almost all have flaws.
Remember:
1.) Protagonist/antagonist - determined if the story is about them
2.) Hero/villain - determined if they are good or bad

@@kimedits22 she seemed like she was pretty good at her job which would mean quarterly bonuses? And maybe she was buying a lot of preloved?

I watched a video from a brazilian tiktoker and she gave me another perspective of the outfits. The fact that it actually portrays this caricatured American woman who travels to France, with a superficial view of the country and culture (a prejudiced and stigmatized view) and who uses several haute couture brands at the same time because she thinks that makes her part or superior to it. It's a big irony, so it makes sense that she doesn't care when she meets the designer, if it was important to her, she wouldn't dress like that.
Here’s the tea: Camille is a sweetheart who deserves the world and she deserves good people in her life not a horrible best friend and boyfriend who sleep with each other behind her back. Also is no one gonna talk about how Emily slept with a teen lol

Camille best girl, we must protecc
@Harley Q To be fair that was the main relationship in Pretty Little Liars and to make it worse, he was her teacher on top of that. And that was marketed towards teens who generally seemed to think it was cute, normal and wanted their own Mr Fitz to date. It was hella creepy but the show/network it aired on never really approached it as if it was (not to me at least).
I know! It just disgust me how they need to show a girl sleeping with a lot of guys after a breakup to show empowerment or something ugh
Let's have season 2 from Camille's POV!
sounds like Emily's boss was just spitting facts the whole time
I'm genuinely IMPRESSED by how easily she recognizes designer clothing
Daily studies to creat design background.
Emily's wardrobe is godawful. I don't care if a piece is designer - I would burn 98% of what she wears
The whole time I was thinking “they’re such nice pieces in the mix and it breaks my heart to see them styled so badly. give them to someone who knows how to style them!*cough* me *cough*”
I just watched this video, never actually seen Emily, but I hated every single outfit Mina showed. even the Audrey Hepburn one, and I love Audrey Hepburn! it just seemed so out of place in all of her randomness. 😢
Imagine if this was Emily in Berlin instead of Paris, and they butchered the culture of Berlin and then told the Germans that they have no sense of humour when they called the series out.
Instead of the berets she just randomly wears lederhosen all the time. On her first day, she's punctual because the Deutsche Bahn got her to work on time. All of the coworkers speak flawless English, except for a 25-year-old guy called Horst, who randomly speaks like Hitler. Every German word spoken on the show is aggressively yelled. The only food seen and eaten in the show is a comically burned bratwurst. On a special occasion, Emily decides that Audrey Hepburn is too cliché, so she dresses up as Angela Merkel instead.
She works as a marketing manager for the CDU and her goal is to attract young voters. It works. She has an erotic affair with Philipp Amthor, who is played by Ryan Gosling.

It’s a whole mess

It was meant as a joke to show that the writers didn't bother to research enough.

I think you are absolutely right. EVERY man was so obsessed with her for no reason! ALL the campaigns were soooo perfect
Maybe that IS Emily's character-yknow, trying to be fashionable by wearing designer, but not actually understanding fashion concepts to have cohesive looks, often allowing herself to be overwhelmed by her influences to the point where she DOESNT make up her mind with her own style she'd copy everything down to Hepburn but like a bad knockoff. She's a character that doesnt understand herself, all she knows is the aspirational parisian life she's seen in the media and she attempts to copy it without ACTUALLY respecting Parisian lifestyle, culture, and fashion
I think this is what they were going for but it was completely undermined by not having Emily change at all to show that her point of view was wrong or show that the French’s criticism of her was not far off. Wasted opportunity.
i feel like you're giving them too much credit
That would be a great way out of this mess
Than the writers would’ve wrote that flaw into the show. Your character headcannon is never actively depicted so it can be assumed the writers weren’t ever going for that.
I think she would be called out on that if that was the case. The way she's portrayed, I guess its just another case of bad writing.
Also harper was chaotically dressed but there's something 'iconic' and overall good looking about how harper dresses. She stays within the theme of her outfit while being outlandish, so it doesn't come off as if harper's wearing it because she's harper and shes chaotic it comes off as if she took the time to put the outfit together because she likes how it look. Emily is fashionable because she's in paris and a hallmark of pairs is fashion
At least Harper was a teenager and her outfits looked cheap enough to be believable. Emily was an adult in the fashion industry, but she still somehow had the fashion sense of a toddler, while still making it expensive
If she was a real midwest pharmaceutical rep girl, she would definitely not have that kind of a wardrobe. She’d look nice and professional, not gaudy and overwhelming.
True! American girl dress up professionally to work. This girl shocked me 😳
I sometimes got the feeling that the intent was to create “gossip girl groupie now has money and buys designer everything but can’t put together a cohesive outfit” and I feel like that would make sense for her character the individual pieces are beautiful but together it’s a hot mess!
Except for the obvious fact that she DOES NOT have enough money for all that Chanel!
That was the impression I got, as well. She seems like the sort of person who equates money with taste, and doesn't really have a sense of style of her own besides just putting a bunch of expensive items together and calling it "fashion."

Which represents her whole personality pretty well.
Thank you! Can I also just say I'm so tired of people trying to say it's "just a show" or "just escapism"? Like I still want my escapism to be good or at least fun.

@@asta1405 Yes! That's exactly what it is!!!
It's legit what Moderngurlz said, give her an Audrey Biopic and get on with it. So long as it's written by an expert screenwriter she'd do well.
It was a nod to Audrey in the film Funny Face -- another instance of an American going to Paris and not accepting the fashion industry (paving her own way, talking with philosophers in cafes, etc.). But in the end Audrey has no say and lets people from a fashion magazine dress and define her... So Emily in Paris may then be a modern take on that film, however it's even more Francophobic/Americentric. Stereotypes of Paris and French men especially are used in Funny Face. But at least Audrey as a character was more relatable, and she WANTED to understand French philosophy 😂
I don’t really agree, I think her outfits make sense because she’s such a bad, internally hideous character that it just makes sense to dress her up in the worst outfits known to man
This!!

but theres still the question of affordability, like she can easily dress ugly with walmart clothing idk why they decided to do it with chanel and louboutin 😅
Then why is she buying designer? She isn't rich/doesn't come from a rich background, unless she is someone who really cares about labels and trends she wouldn't be decked in head to toe in Chanel.
I don’t know how she affords it , it’s probably an oversight from the producer in this .. but all I’m saying is she manages to disrespect everything and even manages to disrespect designer clothing lol

beautiful surprise see you here Michel
hiii 🤩
well the vlogger is suppose to be an example of proper dressing?
As an American I would like to confirm this statement
As a European who sees American tourists everyday, I can also confirm this.
the devil wears prada makes more sense but still i really do hate the submissive personnality of andy and the normalization (is it a english word ? sorry im french)of toxic work ambiance. also the body shaming was disgusting "6" when she was not even obese. but still it makes more sense than the netflix show. about the price of her appartment i would say it would been around 1000-1200 euros/ per month, prices are so high in paris insane
Litalici0us I agree!!
the fat shaming was terrible. like i'm not even upset about the others bullying her for wearing a 6, since it would have been a statement about the fashion industry, but just the way she proudly states that she's a 4 now ... that's what i found really harmful.
but i have to disagree with you on the toxic work place bit, because i feel like that's the point of the movie and the reason why she gives up the job
@@timecrayon tbh i love that the movie lets Andy "adapt" to "size 4" thing as a symbol of blending in to remain in the dream position and this fancy industry, a "little price" she has to pay? It's quite realistic imo, the fashion industry cant be any less toxic and body shaming than this right?
Then Andy realizes it not much later, as it costs her herself, her values, her relationships. And she's back to herself. Probably back to her being 6 and regular eating as well. Without the price she paid, we cant see her journey, and see how she gets back to herself.
I agree on the fat-phobia (even if it's not always black and white, for example Emily's ridiculous diet is mocked, but being super skinny is overall glamorized in the movie). But the point of the movie was to show that the work environment is toxic. Andy's real moment of growth is her quitting her job, realising she needs to stand up to Miranda's and the industry's bullshit, it's not when she has a makeover and looses weight!
But it's realistic. That's the point. The fashion industry isn't all sunflowers lol
From a French person who lived in Paris for a few years, Parisian housing prices are horrendous. That said, these "chambres de bonnes" are typically the only thing students with no income can afford. When you live in one of those, you certainly don't buy Chanel every other day. Haven't seen the show but from what you describe, no, her housing situation doesn't add up either with her shopping habits, wardrobe, or job.
Also this is not a chambre de bonne, but a frankly nice-sized studio in a good area
Her place is a two room appartment in the 5th arrondissement, fully furnished. Around 2000 € per month. Also her job wouldnt pay more than about 2500€ / month considering her age and position. A job a real life person could'nt keep as a non french speaker but that's another story.
that is no chambre bonne !! most students in paris can afford flats that are 96 to 193 sq feet BIG MAX, and these cost from 500 to 1000 euros a month.
@@maellea8437 I keep seeing people say this. Another thing the show got wrong. In the show, the guy showing her the apt said it was which is apparently much bigger than it’s suppose to be, according to all the French people chiming in. This show is ridiculous.
"You silly American, you have nothing to lose but your chains" made me burst out laughing. 10/10 the best thing I've seen in any video about Emily in Paris.
When Mina said Emily wore those giant Louis Vuitton heels in a city with a bunch of cobblestones my eyes bugged. That's a health hazard and a waste of time.
even worse, they're actually Louboutins, which cost upwards of $800, are typically very uncomfortable, and worn pretty much exclusively by celebrities and people who are stupid rich. there's no way her character would own those, it just does't make any sense.
And the red soles scratch so easily so she would ruin them in one day walking on cobblestones. I swear those shoes are only meant for the red carpet and the bedroom lol...
@@inspiredby624 I buy little clear stickers for mine.
I’ve also gotten a pair resolved with red rubber when I wore the red leather down.
I hate heels and I would never wear them to go somewhere. Even in my city are a lot of cobblestone streets and we‘re all wearing sneakers.
Buuut... I‘m living close to france and paris and I was there for the holidays like 8 times. Women there actually wear those shoes on the streets!! Even nearly 15 years ago. It‘s unbelievable!
So that part of emily in paris wasn‘t even THAT unrealistic
@the gays do it better I never said they don‘t
I felt like they dressed her gaudily on purpose? Like she’s supposed to look like she’s trying a bit too hard she’s kind of cliched?
Perfect description
Yes. I don't see how people have not realized that yet.
That makes sense but from what I've seen, they could have fleshed it out.
This was my take and I honestly think that's what Patricia Field was going for as well, however, the script and the direction of the show makes it seem as aspirational, since Emily is so perfect and everyone else seems to be the problem. I honestly think Patricia Field read the script and envisioned the show as a comedy of this uncultured American trying to pass off as fashionable in Paris.
@@Melvito2 agreed. The show is light hearted escapism and her barely believably luck (and bad luck) are part of the quirk of the show. The characters are all exaggerated almost as if we are viewing them through Emily’s perspective... that’s my take but my we are reading too much into it here! I enjoyed being distracted during corona times
==as a french I found emily's outfits horrificl and I loooved her boss's style and I liked her french blond friend's style, which was extremely accurate, that's how a typical parisian girl looks like
oh yeah! camille dressed rly well too
As an American I want to apologize for the show. Most of us HATE IT, but recently the reviewer la of tv and films have been promoting shows we all hate. Our reputation is already being run into the ground so the last thing I want is for this to ruin it and want people to understand literally no one knows why this got aired
@@hinklefamily1831 they made it so they could make fun of an “acceptable” nation
@@ReplyGuy22345 ... Ok. What do you mean by "acceptable"? If something is a country then its accepted as a country?
@@hinklefamily1831 why would you apologize lmao ? Don't worry, us French don't care
Every country has problems, America have good sides and bad sides just like us !
That's an unpopular opinion but I find Emily in Paris funny, it criticize everybody, us and Americans. I think it meant to be 2nd degree, a lot of French comedy are like this.
Emily's outfits are very "2010's Tumblr".
Lol every single question in this vid can be answered by: Emily is a male-created character which is why nothing makes sense
but satc is made by the same man and that show is pretty good tbh
@@luiysia it was good but many fans over the years have expressed how certain aspects of the female friendships and female characters' behaviors were off because they were formed through a male lens
Also her fashion is made by a woman and still it makes no sense
@@luiysia Certainly SATC made more sense than this show, but they had female writers. I mean I remember watching interviews ... Also SATC was based on a book written by a woman. Yeah I mean they were more men oriented, some of them, but some women are two. And they do show us the girls having other interests, just there is only so much it can fit into a 20 something minutes episode... I mean when we watch crime shows we are rarely shown the life of the crime investigators outside of work, yet we do know that they have private lives and sleep and eat and watch films etc. It is just that most of it is not relevant to be shown in a crime show. Same way in a show that focuses on relationships of main characters with men it makes sense that mostly what we see is them talking about those relationships? Except Carrie the three of them have jobs and are good at them, but the show is from Carrie's perspective and Carrie's job is to write about relationships 🤷🏻♀️
Emily's job is not wearing mismatched clothed all the time
@@jademerrick8758 I feel the same thing happens with women creators though. For some reason, not many people can represent how an actual woman is like. Have you seen Booksmart? It was written by a female but I feel like they just made the girls way too dramatic and I don't think most teen girls act that way. I honestly don't think it has to do with whether the writer was a male or a female. It just has to do with how observant and generally good the writer is.
I love lily collins and was excited to see her work but haven’t watched the show mainly because of the outfits 🤢 they look like randomized sims outfits and you’re totally right about them being an eye sore
i'm looking for an eyeball ring on her finger lol
I’m an very upset looking at all Emily outfits
i liked a couple of them (there was one pink look in one of the final episodes that i really i liked)
Some of them are cute tbh
I like them, but if I'm going to pretend I'm a Parisian or someone who loves paris and want to look like them, then no
I actually liked some of them but I felt like she almost always overdid things.. Plus how she afforded all these designer clothes and shoes was something I asked from the beginning.
Honestly euphoria served better outfits they even had each character have a color pallet that match their personality throughout the show and this was just a no
tbh nobody should criticize the sex in the city thing when it comes to her spending... like in the show it was stressed that she had a spending issue and the reason she got all that stuff is because she literally would put money on luxury items instead of bills or her rent lmao
Plus, let's be real here, Carrie actually wore a lot of the same clothes and pieces multiple times. It wasn't like she was always wearing a different outfit for every different occasion an episode.
@@rosesweetcharlotte well, she wasn't in satc there is only a few pieces that we can see more than 1 ( we can see shoes many times)
we can only assume that she actually wear it more than one
I was already beyond done with Emily... but when she said she and her friends wanted to be Serena van der Woodsen, and not Blair Waldorf, that told me everything I needed to know.
EXACTLY, thank you.
And let's be honest, why would she be obsessed with Serena Van der Woodsen when the obvious and most poignant fashion icon of GG was Blair Waldorf, that just really bugged me
I think she probably said Serena because Serena was the “It Girl” of the Upper East Side and everyone did want to be like her... even Blair was very envious of her
Same, I liked Blair’s style the most
Yeah, especially since she emulated the Audrey Hepburn look, which is a very Waldorf thing to do.
Serena is so annoying she makes every bad decision she can all the time
@@adeledesm8853 LMAO your comment made me laugh so hard bc it’s so true
The most unbelievable thing in this show is the fact that she's wearing stilettos on cobblestone streets.
My friend and I were just discussing how this show was trying to give off Sex and the City and Devil Wears Prada vibes...but it wasn't successful in providing the same atmosphere.
I interpreted her fashion sense as intentionally tragic to emphasize the lack of style mainstream Americans have; aka loud, incomprehensible, and hiding behind a label. I also felt that her flamboyant style extended to her personality in the fact that she dominated every social environment and felt extremely entitled. Clearly there is major stereotyping happening form French and American people that is extremely flawed but I feel like the same critique also applies to Sex and the City. Very cartoonish and distorted realities, oriented around a determined and quirky white female lead. The difference is we were made to love Sarah Jessica Parker, while Emily is very easy to dislike in our current time. One would argue they are essentially the same character, but the audience has evolved.
I will add that I have never hated somebody's style so much as I dislike Emily's. It triggers my OCD, I refuse to believe it is not intentional.
My biggest problem with the show is that Emily seems to always end up on top and with beautiful men which makes me suspect of the overall message.
@Marianna i agree completely. its usually not that deep! I think the audience has alot more complexity to be able to pick up on these nuances which makes this bland and syrupy show entertaining. When I watch garbage Tv i call it "research" to justify to my boyfriend lol.
@Marianna Yeah emily in Paris was great background television for my homework because the plotline was incredibly predictable and was pretty consistently bad so it wasn't distracting. Maybe I am not the best critic of the show because I half watched while doing school work. Unfortunately most modern television is in a downward spiral lacking any authenticity, its more about meeting a contract deadline with netflix. If the costume design was actually along the lines of sex and the city it could be borderline tolerable.
Yours is best comment in this entire thread!! Well done!!👍😊
Brands do not equal fashion ! Ugh !
You know Emily is the stereotypical Netflix main character :
She’s the epitome of basic
She makes everything about herself
She forces her ideas on people
Slyvie has better style than her
I’m sorry if I have hurt anybody’s sentiments or have been insensitive to certain issues the I meant the stereotypical Netflix character most of them are white and American but It doesn’t mean I should’ve said American. My sincerest apologies
White Americans give America such a bad name. White ppl take up 70% its them, only them😔😔

@@hayoonpark7454 Maybe you need to start by improving yourself instead of judging people base on their race. And before you say anything, I'm mixed.
Gotta give the show some credit for making an extremely unlikable character and proving that being pretty isn’t everything and having actual character development is important
the flat she has is at LEAST 1300€/month and it isnt a 'chambre de bonne', a chambre de bonne is like 10 square meters lol. And you need to earn 3 times the rent to have a chance to get the place.
Yeah, I was thinking how can she afford this place and all the Chanel....delusional af
Yessss I was waiting for someone to say something about that! That place would be really pricey for one person to handle alone, with no partner or flatmate to share the expense... and it doesn't seem to be in a super dodgy area/outside the city (hadn't seen the show, could be wrong) so it's another huge LOL from me
@@strawberryfrog76 It is in the 5th arrondissement so expensive af aera tbh
I was just about to comment this! That apartment would be so expensive especially with the housing crisis in Paris right now :(
i think her apt was provided for her through her job tho
they should've just titled this show "american exceptionalism".
Is that not the point of the show? That's what I got from it😂
yeah or like "an american point of view" cause the whole show revolves around her
@@emilytanner9741 y'know what's funny? is that had the show actually been titled this, it would've hit different! emily's ridiculous outfits would suddenly take on a new meaning, her uncanny and unrealistic ability to win over the very people she's been insulting without improving anything about herself could've been a running gag about americans selfish entitlement (and their delusions about not being either of those things). probably would've pissed off a bunch of americans but hey, i think they could do with being made fun of a little more in popular fiction. if anything this show serves as a great example of how frequently the US loves taking a dump on other countries and their cultures for the purpose of "humour". or just for the purpose of trying to make themselves look good - i'm looking at you, US news outlets!
I just find it so weird when people say "the French are so rude" when they've probably never stepped outside of Paris. It's kind like what some people say about New Yorkers. Except, they aren't being rude they're just trying to live their life and aren't selling themselves as part of any tourist package
EXACTLY
Parisians are rude. Lmao..the rest of France is okay..
Montreal people can be super rude if you don't try to speak French at least but the rest of Quebec is ridiculously nice.
well i’m german so i can say french people are rude to me,,, not in general i think but def to me lol
Most of the complaints about Parisians is usually some sort of racism or xenophobia they exhibit. Most ppl don’t have a problem with New York bc they’re generally more direct and not worried about others, can’t say the same about Paris
Parisians and french people in general are SO RUDE, like i don’t Know why others countries are obsessed with France but majority of people in here are just racist and rude (from a french girl)
Can you please do a review on K-drama styling? There are so many incredibly styled shows and characters! The styling in K-dramas is so slept on.
Americans, growing? Especially when exposed to culture?

I'm French and this show offended me honeslty. I just hope that people are not dumb enough to believe this is an accurate portrayal of my culture and its people. Also Americans need to stop thinking they are the center of the world and better than everyone else.

@@emberhorgan7367 No, a lot of us know that this show is really bad. Only really, *really* ignorant people will think that Paris is like this. Otherwise, majority of watchers are that stupid.
As an American I'm sorry about this show. Most of us HATED it and have no idea why it was aired. Most of us don't think of ourselves as the center of the world, just the media does, and it losses us off that our own media pushes that agenda onto us. I'm sorry
I agree. Come from modest background, studied and worked in Fashion. This is total ignorant bullshit and so offending. I don’t know why America seems to always portrayed Paris the same way, like it is Disneyland... I feel embarrassed for the actress who had to play the role.
@@hinklefamily1831 As an American, I would hate to be lumped in that “self-centered and unaware ugly American” stereotype. I did, however, do a study abroad in Spain once. This is what 95% of us looked like. Emily reminds me very much of one girl in particular. I think she was the prototype for this character actually lol
I've got a theory: Emily is so badly dressed because the costume designer had realised the kind of nonsense this Netflix series is. So she decided to design the worst outfits she could possibly come up with as a revenge. As you more or less said yourself, Emily is a terrible character who does not change. So why should it be different when it comes to her outfits?
Hi ! French subscriber here :) First, thank you for this video, I pretty much agree with everything you said ! At first I was excited to see a Paris-based Netflix show but I (and so were my friends) was at least disappointed, at most disgusted.
As usual, Paris can't be anything but the city of love and fashion : booooring, and untrue for most people living there, no mention of the time spent in public transportation, food and life prices (she is living in a HUGE apartment for Paris, the prices in the center town are about 700€/month for 17 square meters, and it's not rare to have a shared bathroom with your neighbourgs, and it's a pain in the ass to actually get an apartment because there are so many people on the waiting list).
French people have to be rude (maybe true in fashion, maybe true in the most competitive city where everybody is rushed and struggling all the time) but it's 2020 can we stop generalising pleaaaase (plus as you said Emily is the ultimate "american thinking everybody should speak english for her and adapt to her in every way", so no sympathy from me).
French boys/men are flirty, amazingly good looking and working with their hands while all being artists at heart (it's a fantasy I get it but again, quite repetitive, and not true).
The fact that Emily's only french girl friend has a freaking castle and a family making champagne I mean come on, could you BE anymore cliché ? Most castles in France are inhabited, because a castle is cold, unpractical and way too expensive to maintain.
I was (just as you were), shocked by what she was wearing, by the obvious price (because she had to pay for it by herself, she wasn't working directly in fashion where she could borrow stuff on exceptions), and the lack of coordination/thought behind her outfits (and the béret... NO ONE wears bérets anymore except tourists, stop it).
Oh and the famous "french people hate working, are lazy blablabla" : we do work less than most countries if you're counting hours but it has been showed that we are way more productive, so it balances out. And yes, as everywere, most people don't like their jobs but we need to eat so we do it anyway, I guess the difference is that compagnies here don't expect us to be (or pretend to be) all the time enthousiastic about it, as long as things get done.
So in conclusion I'm just disappointed to see once again the same picture of France, Paris, French people and culture, when it's 2020 and even if you stopped at Paris and didn't explore the rest of the country, there is so much more to see !
Thank you again for the video, sorry for the rant (:
(PS : if you ever meet us you'll see that we do take showers, wear deodorant, are polite and welcoming if you don't behave like an entilted prick :)
@@MulberrySeason You're right, I've never seen a compagny open at 10, I would say people go to work at around 8:30, maybe 9, but if you come in at 10 you better have a good excuse ^^
And maybe every "south european" who goes on vacations for more than 2 days a year is considered lazy in the "american point of view" of Emily haha
As a Northern/Eastern European, we do generally think Southern Europeans are lazy, not specifically just the French. But like, in a loving way. 👀 In, like, a "lucky you, you get to be lazy" kind of way. 👀
@@UneEtincelleNocturne But it's not because we work less hours that we are "lazy", being productive doesn't require to live in your workplace...
I’ve never heard French are lazy stereotype (until this Netflix drama). When I lived in Paris for a short while, work typically started at 8.30 whereas in the City (London) I always started at 9.30. The hours weren’t that different though - I think any major city has long hours depending on the work industry.
I did find the Parisians ruder than in London but I loved the honesty. I think Parisians don’t respect someone coming and making no effort to speak the language and fit in with the culture. If you give them that basic respect then you will find that the rudeness is no longer directed at you but at other arrogant tourists/ expats.
I’m only a quarter french but this film offended me so much and I don’t get offended that much, everything about this show is for Americans, (not even slightly for Europeans) it’s not for the french which is where it’s set which sucks. Also how many more stereotypes could they fit in
"Hotel del luna" and "It's okay not to be okay" were 2 series that blew my mind with the clothing.
Omg so true.. a whole other level
Yeahh IU was amazing
Yes amazing! My all time favorite kdrama fashion Queen is Cheon Song Yi, years have pass and her wardrobe is modern and amazing.
So true and on top of that they are good series!
The fashion in “it’s okay to not be okay” were so good!
kind of an odd show also anyone else tired of american in paris media? can we get like a latina in korea show or an american in brazil or a portuguese in japan, like all those sound so much more interesting bc it hasnt been done before, or at least not nearly as much
I completely agree
That would be amazing. I found a video on UA-cam about a black girl who lived in Germany and that was so interesting.
This is true I would love to see a black woman in Japan show
The problem is that latinos in that show would be super stereotyped
@@anaadacosacositas4362 depends on who writes it
Emily is supposed to be likable to people who had never worked a job in their life. Imagine you get someone on your job one day without knowing the language and being told “she is your boss now” no. I would hate her as well
