Can you write about why Colin bridgerton is the only well written and complex male character in bridgerton in show full of well written woman? Why was s1-2 leads so very 1D 2D easy to read and easy to put in box as in childhood drama and daddy issues the end and s2 love interest(while edwina is well written and complex the other endgame love interest isn’t) being even more 1D boring and just meh maybe one of the few not well written female characters.
CASINO Sponsorship?? Seriously??? C'mon now, surely you guys can do better than that!!!!!!!!!!! Promoting *Gambling* on a channel like this... I expected better from you!
One of the thing that baffled me the most from 'Emily in Paris' is the fact that clothes never worked as a narrative device. Emily, who is supposed to be an American moving to Paris, landed in France with a full wardrobe of Chanel and other expensive French brands. I think it would have been waaaay more interesting if he had had a Midwestern style at the beginning and had shifted little by little, to a European one. And, maybe, by the end of the first season, after many strikes, she would have had a big aha moment, had embraced French culture, had learnt to speak the language and had had a big appearance with a definitive French style. That's how wardrobe should have worked in the show.
Sex and the City wasn’t afraid to look dirty & have its female characters look disheveled, ugly, tired, & overall real. Emily in Paris is perfectly lit with brand new clothes for every scene & perfectly done hair for every character.
The views have decreased so much they have to accept this kind of sponsorship . It’s actually sad when you consider the relevance The Take used to have
Easy. Outside of this current reevaluation of the SATC women, the four of them represent all women at the same time. So you're not a Carrie, Sam, Miranda or a Charlotte... you're all of them with highs and lows of any of them at different times. With Emily, none of us have to be Emily ever. Emily is overly styled and that would be fine in another context but she refuses to allow Parisian culture into her look, thinking or language. How is it that she still isn't speaking any French? Or effected by French style or culture? Her character is stuck in neutral and refuses to move forward.
@@Margriet101 as a New Yorker who speaks French and views the French as nice when you just try to acclimate…. Emile, Ty peux renter a la maison. Why doesn’t look like the staff at her job put more effort in speaking English than she does. Even Carrie figured out how to ask the front desk for another room when she and the Russian fell out! 😂😂😂
exactly. Emily in Paris is neutral and very afraid to take risks. It is too clean and proper, god forbid anyone gets slightly offended by it. It seems a show made for the midwest middle class demographics.
While the two shows share some similarities, they're on a completely different level. SATC is a show featuring deep female friendships, sexuality, identity struggles, fertility issues, even abortion at some point. If you go into it thinking it's a silly show about pretty woman chasing guy after guy, you're in for a bit of a surprise. It starts out very light but become progressively deeper and the characters actually feel like real people. Emily in paris, on the other hand is a show about a pretty girl and her instagram who doesn't know any real problems. It's so so so much more shallow than SATC, it's not even a comparison. Emily lacks any sort of depth, she's like a 12-year-old playing an adult. There's no backstory, no nuance, no real struggle, no passion, nothing. It doesn't help that Lily Collins, who's actually not the worst actor, is very annoying in the role and makes Emily even less likeable. SJP makes Carrie look so real and human, you can't help but admire her performance even if you don't like Carrie herself. Again, there really isn't any comparison between the two shows (and two protagonists). One is an important cultural phenomenon with themes focused on women's issues, and the other is a pretty girl in paris taking instagram pictures. That's pretty much it.
what's up the with the casino ads? is that even legal? let alone ethical? so many options to advertise and you guys choose casinos? that's disappointing to say the least
oh it’s definitely legal!! professional sports is absolutely plagued with gambling/sports betting ads and sponsorships. i agree it’s super unethical, dangerous, and will likely lead a lot of people into gambling addiction from a young age. So disappointed the take would accept a sponsorship from them.
Emily doesn't give a damn about anyone. She's annoyingly self centered , runs roughshod over everyone else's lives and acts oblivious to the wreckage that she causes. Even worse, the show consistently rewards her for her ridiculous behavior...and she never faces any real consequences for anything.
I quit watching Emily in Paris after a season, because she was so lucky and everything magically worked out for her. I don’t like Carrie as a character, but i love SATC and I have watched the series many times. It was much more realistic, except the meaningless ending with Carrie and Big coming together. SATC would be legendary if Carrie decided her friends are her soulmates and left Big behind.
They’re ugly, but intentionally so. The colours are bright and colourful, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but Emily lacks taste. Especially compared to Sylvie. Carrie’s style was also whimsical and fun, but at least she had taste.
Carrie loves fashion and talks about it alllll the time, when she arrived to NYC she fed off Vogue instead of buying food (it's a stretch, but ok...Season 4, ep 2) So there was a financial struggle that most face when moving to a city like NYC or Paris. She was seeing shopping time and time again. She was a fashion girlie through and though. Emily just shows up head to head in designer clothes with no direct or indirect references to why she wears what she wears. In NYC as a backdrop it makes sense as a 30 something year old professional. In Paris, for a PR girl in her 20s doesn't make any sense because the fashion crowd doesn't dress so flashy at all. It's more like 'if you know, you know', subdued mentality, she wouldn't be able to afford those designer clothes with her salary anyway!
Carrie is definitely the better written character with all her flaws, but SJP is also the better actress. I liked Lilly in that Snow White movie but compared to SJP she's giving a more wooden performance.
I loved loved loved your channel - but Casino sponsorship? gambling? come on, I am sorry but this is just wrong on sooo many levels that it is just silly to elaborate even. Promoting gambling is wrong. Good - bye.
Sex and the City is such a good show. We still watch it. I have watched very little of Emily in Paris but the characters and show seem… vapid. I never really got that from Sex and the City, even when they were obsessing about shoes.
I tried to like Emily in Paris...but ehhh... I think part of the reason why I liked SATC was the supporting cast of characters/actors. I don't find the same appeal with Emily. Also, the clothes: in SATC I could imagine someone in NYC wearing what the characters were wearing. No way do the people of Paris dress like Emily and after a week of arriving, she would be changing her wardrobe to fit into looking more like a local and not screaming AMERICAN.
It is baffling to me how a channel that supposedly dissects social issues in their videos and reassesses character's flaws has agreed to a sponsorship from a gambling business and then proceeds to add a helpline to cover it up; not only it's distasteful but also extremely unethical.
Ngl I love this channel so much and I've loved it for 3 years now, but the SATC videos are getting real tiresome. Please cover different stuff And the casino ad? Really? Tacky, unethical, generally weird
SATC had 4 women showcasing their friendship, and they called each other out when making wrong decisions. Emily is just unlikeable without any redeeming qualities.
Characters in Sex and the City are well written. Emily in Paris is one of the worst written shows in the history of Netflix and so offensive to reality and France.
Well Emily is less messy than Carrie she at least wasen’t willing to have a long fling with Gabriel when he was with Camille. I still like Carrie I was a young teen I watched her and she and Big were a hot mess that I enjoyed rooting for although I also liked her and Aiden. If I watch the show as an adult I might be more critical but I’ll still have a soft spot for her. Emily is a escapism and I actually don’t find her as bad as people say but I do hate the way they keep making Camille’s character bad just to justfify Emily and Gabriel. Natasha was never portrayed badly
Because Carrie came at a time where toxic traits weren’t as easy to spot in our culture. We grew, we learned. If Carrie came out fro the first time now she would be hated. Carrie is a ‘see you next Tuesday’, it’s a hill I’ll die on 😂
Emily is shallow and detached. Carrie and friends tackle pretty deep existential fears and dilemmas: fear of loneliness, getting older, not having it all together at a certain age, feeling insecure at times. It's something we can all relate to, and that makes it real. Emily's only problem is who to date next, what outfit to pick. I love the escapist aspect, but there's just NOTHING beneath the colorful wrap.
@@alliepenaherrera1976 there are plenty of sponsors (that they've had before) that are more appropriate.. My issue is not with the fact that they have an advert at all. My issue is with who's ad they are running. It doesn't match their audience.
@@rudenewatt22 I just hate the scolding tone people are taking with them. I mean agree to disagree but they have to take the advertisers that are going to pay enough to allow them to make content. I get there's a line I just feel like people are being over dramatic about a casino app. Maybe I haven't had a bad experience gambling so I don't have the right context or something idk
@@alliepenaherrera1976 I get where you are coming from. But I just want to be clear, there are plenty of fish in the sea when it comes to sponsorships. The Take has had many appropriate sponsors in the past. This is not an issue about having to sponsor videos and whether or not that is appropriate. I get that they have to keep the lights on. The issue is that it doesn't fit with their audience. There is an entire group of people that are primed for this casino app, that are the ideal client for that app and that are ideally suited to aim this advert at. But that audience is not here, not watching this channel. This audience is an audience that loves movies and tv, loves discussing it, etc. The two just don't go together. That's my complaint.
@@rudenewatt22 oh okay I see, it's less about being morally appropriate and more like you think it doesn't make sense for this channel because of the audience demographic. Am I understanding correctly?
I laugh out loud watching Emily in Paris. Show is entertaining. That is precisely why it's made. That's why it got 5 seasons. So, stop crying about it. Even worse stop intellectually analyzing a mindless watch fun show. Also stop promoting gambling.
Yup, SATC was a culturally relevant TV show. Emily in Paris clearly doesn't seem to be concerned at being anything more than the dumb crap it is, so I don't see the point of the comparison other than both shows having unlikable leads. Many other shows have unlikable leads.
Lily Collins is too beautiful. She looks like Audrey Hepburn. SJP had an unconventional beauty that allowed her sense of style to take center stage. When we see Lily Collins, it’s just an extremely beautiful girl in extremely extravagant clothes, and the clothes will never be as beautiful as she is, so it’s a competition. I just don’t believe Lily Collins in those clothes!
emily in paris no le llega ni al pulgar a sex and the city, y no es que s&tc sea una obra maestra pero se siente genuino y los personajes parecen personas. Eip simplemente no se siente nada real
I mean this with all the love I have for this channel and it’s creators: please stop with the advertising. You sounded so robotic and lifeless reading the script for the ad versus the rest of the video, which demonstrates your passion for the craft.
How else do you think the team gets paid? Sponshorships are a big money maker for channels. It sucks but it's true. It's not that hard to just skip through it
How dare you with the Emily slander. The show works. It just works differently. I want to see Emily in her crazy fashion, fueled by nothing but delusion and loyalty to her friends and wanting to have adventures. You don't get it, so just say that.
SATC is a real show. I've always just assumed that Emily in Paris was a satire of how annoying Americans are. Apparently they kept it going after one season for some reason. I didn't see any point in continuing.
As someone who lived abroad learning a second language Emily really excited me- it fell really short of those experiences we all share as “foreigners” and was very shallow. Emily was so annoying and not relatable too
I dont even care much for Sex And The City, or Carrie. I love Samantha, though.😊 But yes, she is a 1000 times more interesting character than Emily. And when Carrie fucks up, the shows treats it like that and dont give imediate solutions for her problems right away. Seriously, sometimes like 5 seconds after a problem arrives Emily is given a solution from heaven or something. The writting is terrible like that. 😂😂😂
For me EIP unlike SATC is a TV analog of a bag of chips: smth fun, but with 0 actual content \ value. The show is aestetical and is pleasant for the eye, but empty. A couple of months ago I tried to rewatch the earlier seasons (in order to remember what was going on) and I couldn't. I just wasn't fun. When you watch a new season of the show there are 2 things that are keeping you hooked: the pretty picture + the intrigue of what's going to be. Once the intrigue is gone, it's just plain boring. There are no fun dialogues, jokes, wordplays (that I am enjoying so much in SATC), barely any struggle or questionable (and relatable) moments. Everything is exaggerated (esp her looks) and easy. Every idea of hers is a hit, her friends after 5 mins get into Eurovision, Michelin and I assume Olympic games as well if they attempt. So yeah, it's a nice 1-time to watch fairy-tale show. But I doubt it would ever be as iconic as SATC and some other shows we love and rewatch.
Carrie came up in an era where TV-viewers were easy to manipulate in who they should root for. And many of the things Carrie and her friends were spouting or doing was seen as liberating, smart and funny. Nowadays we live in a less forgiving/sympathetic era where TV viewers have already berated themselves tirelessly for ever taking Carrie Bradshaw seriously and they vow never to make the same mistake again. It's difficult for main characters to be seen as actually good nowadays so TV writers have resorted to writing anti-heroes.
Did it though? I mean is it a show that will still be talked about 2 decades after it last aired? It's lucky to have come along in the age of streaming services because it's shows like it that are devoid of substance that would have been cancelled a few episodes in of its first season if it aired on network TV.
Let's stop pretending that when Charlotte called her out we were supposed to side with her, it was written in a way to make us feel for Carrie and that's why Charlotte ends up giving her the ring. The writers were not aware then of the things we're discussing about Carrie now.
My problem with Emily is that she has absolutely no personality. She wants to be someone else but she doesn’t even know who she is in the first place. Frankly didn’t like the clothes as well.
problem is when you pull down other women's character to lift up your problematic female protagnist .or just show them as dumb or one dimensional .and one of the most over used trope that is that our female protagnist went somewhere and every boy just become smitten for her , everybody falls over her and all other women become disposable ..and our female protagnist just love to play dumb ..there is no real consequences .
Okay the main problem with Emily in Paris is that it’s a rom com in a series, I adore romcoms but in format series can get tiresome. Sex and city was special because of the lighthearted tone all around and how it focused on friendship. I hope Darren soon give us another stylish comedy but more focused on girls friendship, I want a sort of younger sex and the city. Same tone, same sort of episodic format like you can watch episodes separately or do a marathon is up to you as a viewer. I want to meet a new f friends foursome also stylish, fun and lighthearted. I hope that Is Darren’s next project.
i grew up with SATC, and when EIP came out, just the first episode/ stuff mentioned about it in media or by my friends was enough to make me know that i wouldn't like it. i watched it anyway after every 5th person around me mentioned it ever so often. and i felt about Emily exactly the way you said - like i was constantly watching an annoying influencer who is trying too hard . The show seems so fake it annoys me to no end. couldn't carry on watching after the first season
Just showing shots of carry walking down the street, her expression looks more vulnerable, more tentative with a false sense of confidence. Carrie Carrie walks through each episode thinking she knows the answer but realizing she has no clue. Emily walks through an episode with this false sense of confidence that is rooted in mediaocracy dressed impeccably butt vacant. I lost interest in that show very quickly because I could not believe that character as a real person but I can totally see Carrie walking down the street .
The show could have benefited by having a Charlotte I say this as a Charlotte but someone to give Emily the what are you doing with Gabriel speech. Like Charlotte is the one to call you out when you’re messing up.Sylvie and Mindy are both versions of Samantha and maybe a little Miranda which is great to have but I think having a friend to call out Emily would have been good
i am a big fun of your Chanel since years but the gambling app promotion just dissapointed like nothing else..... Even tough I hear from your voice that you don't like it, it is still just lame to put such promotion and the help hotline just after it. really sad to see :((
So TheTake and Friendly Space Ninja have offered guides on how to fix this character. And those are just two off the top of my head from my own subscriptions. I'm willing to guess that there's way more if I just look. I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with this character.
the costume difference is PAT FIELD. Pat knew how to throw together seemingly disparate (and sometimes outrageous) pieces and make them work. The designer on Emily in Paris (a French woman) is obsessed with maximalist dressing.The patterns are so loud and the pieces are often stiff, and Lily Collins is so tiny that most of the time it looks like the clothes are wearing her. If we're comparing SATC and EIP, Samantha would be wearing the maximalist clothes, not Carrie. The only person with any class on the show is Sylvie, and I still would love to see what Pat Field would do with her to give her a little more verve.
Ok! Pretty good analysis, but saying Emily is not that good at her job is so fallacious! That’s her one defining quality is how great she is at work and lets it consume her life!
I think the biggest difference between these two shows is that everything always works out for Emily, whereas Carrie had some really rough moments (and certainly didn't have everything go her way). And with the exception of Sylvie, I can't stand the women's fashion choices on "Emily in Paris" - so over the top. The only time Emily looks halfway decent is when she is copying one of Audrey Hepburn's iconic outfits.
@thetake - can you guys do a video about the backlash to Bridgerton revealing that two of the eight kids are queer, and that one of them will be featured in an upcoming season in a lesbian love story (the show has gender swapped her love interest from her book). It's super contentious but shows showrunners are slowly becoming braver when it comes to queer stories in major productions (you could argue House of the Dragon is expanding queer representation too). I'd love to hear your take!
As a millennial, I have a feeling this is also a generational thing. Gen Z grew up online, being bombarded with curated esthetics and fakeness. That's why Gen Z audiences are always looking for authenticity and relatability, and Emily's life isn't relatable in any way. Her behavior also comes across as "trying too hard" and therefore not authentic. I feel like my generation - the "Sex and the City" generation - we didn't grow up with social media. We didn't have so much access to fashion or glamour outside of TV or magazines. So we craved Carrie's glamour, fashion and unattainable life. We bought into the fantasy and didn't really mind unrelatability or inauthenticity.
Emily looks like a character who is being styled. While Carrie looks like she actually owns her wardrobe and she talks about her lover for fashion. Emily does not.
Emily in Paris didn't have the guts to actually explore a "making the choice" plot when they had a non-American character who found themselves in a deeply problematic pregnancy situation and whom in reality may have had an open mind to choice

They can’t seem to move on from it
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the Draft Kings ads don't match your content or your audience. Stop it!
Are you gonna pay for the content then?
@@alliepenaherrera1976 there are plenty of sponsors (that they've had before) that are more appropriate.. My issue is not with the fact that they have an advert at all. My issue is with who's ad they are running. It doesn't match their audience.
@@rudenewatt22 I just hate the scolding tone people are taking with them. I mean agree to disagree but they have to take the advertisers that are going to pay enough to allow them to make content. I get there's a line I just feel like people are being over dramatic about a casino app. Maybe I haven't had a bad experience gambling so I don't have the right context or something idk
@@alliepenaherrera1976 I get where you are coming from. But I just want to be clear, there are plenty of fish in the sea when it comes to sponsorships. The Take has had many appropriate sponsors in the past. This is not an issue about having to sponsor videos and whether or not that is appropriate. I get that they have to keep the lights on. The issue is that it doesn't fit with their audience. There is an entire group of people that are primed for this casino app, that are the ideal client for that app and that are ideally suited to aim this advert at. But that audience is not here, not watching this channel. This audience is an audience that loves movies and tv, loves discussing it, etc. The two just don't go together. That's my complaint.
@@rudenewatt22 oh okay I see, it's less about being morally appropriate and more like you think it doesn't make sense for this channel because of the audience demographic. Am I understanding correctly?
I laugh out loud watching Emily in Paris. Show is entertaining. That is precisely why it's made. That's why it got 5 seasons. So, stop crying about it. Even worse stop intellectually analyzing a mindless watch fun show. Also stop promoting gambling.
I got 5 seasons bexause it is an ideal situation for ads
Yup, SATC was a culturally relevant TV show. Emily in Paris clearly doesn't seem to be concerned at being anything more than the dumb crap it is, so I don't see the point of the comparison other than both shows having unlikable leads. Many other shows have unlikable leads.
literally this thank you !!
Lily Collins is too beautiful. She looks like Audrey Hepburn. SJP had an unconventional beauty that allowed her sense of style to take center stage. When we see Lily Collins, it’s just an extremely beautiful girl in extremely extravagant clothes, and the clothes will never be as beautiful as she is, so it’s a competition. I just don’t believe Lily Collins in those clothes!
What Emily and this episode have in common? Total shalowness and promoting wrong values… CASINO, REALLY?
Since when is Carrie loved? As of late she's getting a lot of hate. (not that I mind, she is terrible.)
I've been a fan of The Take for so long, but your "take" on gambling is just sickening. I am disappointed.
emily in paris no le llega ni al pulgar a sex and the city, y no es que s&tc sea una obra maestra pero se siente genuino y los personajes parecen personas. Eip simplemente no se siente nada real
The cast in sex in the city was so good and the writing was controversial and new and exciting
The Acolyte and My Lady Jane got cancelled after a single season but this shitty consumerist nightmare keeps going
omg gambling advertising. how disgusting I un-described myself
I mean this with all the love I have for this channel and it’s creators: please stop with the advertising. You sounded so robotic and lifeless reading the script for the ad versus the rest of the video, which demonstrates your passion for the craft.
How else do you think the team gets paid? Sponshorships are a big money maker for channels. It sucks but it's true. It's not that hard to just skip through it
How dare you with the Emily slander. The show works. It just works differently. I want to see Emily in her crazy fashion, fueled by nothing but delusion and loyalty to her friends and wanting to have adventures. You don't get it, so just say that.
Why advertising for a casino when you damn well know it's gambling?
You so desperate for money?
Shame! Shame! Shame!
Saying the literal main characters have main character syndrome is so meta 😂
Quicker response: Collins is the worst actress ever
SATC is a real show.
I've always just assumed that Emily in Paris was a satire of how annoying Americans are. Apparently they kept it going after one season for some reason. I didn't see any point in continuing.
Emily in paris isn’t realistic nor has relatable characters like SATC , it’s like these Christmas movies you see only for the vibe, not for the plot.
Casino👎
Sylvie and Camille in season one are the best dressed characters in Emily in Paris.
Idk I like Emily lol
casino sponsorship?!?!!? i ll never click on this channel again
As someone who lived abroad learning a second language Emily really excited me- it fell really short of those experiences we all share as “foreigners” and was very shallow. Emily was so annoying and not relatable too
The shows are not so similar
Sex in the city is much deeper and funnier
Emily is so hateful
Real character development that I would PAY TO WATCH would be Alexis Rose in Paris. Ew, David…
I dont even care much for Sex And The City, or Carrie. I love Samantha, though.😊 But yes, she is a 1000 times more interesting character than Emily. And when Carrie fucks up, the shows treats it like that and dont give imediate solutions for her problems right away. Seriously, sometimes like 5 seconds after a problem arrives Emily is given a solution from heaven or something. The writting is terrible like that. 😂😂😂
For me EIP unlike SATC is a TV analog of a bag of chips: smth fun, but with 0 actual content \ value. The show is aestetical and is pleasant for the eye, but empty. A couple of months ago I tried to rewatch the earlier seasons (in order to remember what was going on) and I couldn't. I just wasn't fun. When you watch a new season of the show there are 2 things that are keeping you hooked: the pretty picture + the intrigue of what's going to be. Once the intrigue is gone, it's just plain boring. There are no fun dialogues, jokes, wordplays (that I am enjoying so much in SATC), barely any struggle or questionable (and relatable) moments. Everything is exaggerated (esp her looks) and easy. Every idea of hers is a hit, her friends after 5 mins get into Eurovision, Michelin and I assume Olympic games as well if they attempt. So yeah, it's a nice 1-time to watch fairy-tale show. But I doubt it would ever be as iconic as SATC and some other shows we love and rewatch.
Carrie came up in an era where TV-viewers were easy to manipulate in who they should root for. And many of the things Carrie and her friends were spouting or doing was seen as liberating, smart and funny. Nowadays we live in a less forgiving/sympathetic era where TV viewers have already berated themselves tirelessly for ever taking Carrie Bradshaw seriously and they vow never to make the same mistake again. It's difficult for main characters to be seen as actually good nowadays so TV writers have resorted to writing anti-heroes.
Emily worked . lots of people love it. Sorry Americans feel offended
Did it though? I mean is it a show that will still be talked about 2 decades after it last aired? It's lucky to have come along in the age of streaming services because it's shows like it that are devoid of substance that would have been cancelled a few episodes in of its first season if it aired on network TV.
Emily Cooper doesn’t really give messy. Everything about her is perfect and curated.
I loved Carrie and Samantha’s relationship. The small glimpses we got were like cake for me.
Let's stop pretending that when Charlotte called her out we were supposed to side with her, it was written in a way to make us feel for Carrie and that's why Charlotte ends up giving her the ring. The writers were not aware then of the things we're discussing about Carrie now.
My problem with Emily is that she has absolutely no personality. She wants to be someone else but she doesn’t even know who she is in the first place. Frankly didn’t like the clothes as well.
Emily, they can never make me hate you!!
problem is when you pull down other women's character to lift up your problematic female protagnist .or just show them as dumb or one dimensional .and one of the most over used trope that is that our female protagnist went somewhere and every boy just become smitten for her , everybody falls over her and all other women become disposable ..and our female protagnist just love to play dumb ..there is no real consequences .
A casino ad, really? Followed by a gambling helpline ad, REALLY?
Deabonning and dislike for this casino ads…. That’s crazy shame on u
4:27 who in the world shares a grape 😂
I think both shows are just aesthetically pleasing trainwrecks
Okay the main problem with Emily in Paris is that it’s a rom com in a series, I adore romcoms but in format series can get tiresome.
Sex and city was special because of the lighthearted tone all around and how it focused on friendship.
I hope Darren soon give us another stylish comedy but more focused on girls friendship, I want a sort of younger sex and the city. Same tone, same sort of episodic format like you can watch episodes separately or do a marathon is up to you as a viewer.
I want to meet a new f friends foursome also stylish, fun and lighthearted. I hope that Is Darren’s next project.
Yes!! I can only bare until s1 with so many frowns and just because I want to see Paris. Ugh, she's so unbearable 😢
Another series I recommend, also created from Darren Star and I think it is actually great, is Younger
I absolutely love that show I got my mother to watch it she enjoyed it ❤❤
I’ve never clicked faster to see a YT video 🎉
same 😂😂😂
I tried watching Emily in Paris but i didn't like it sex and the city yes is a show that has aged badly in some ways but i still prefer watching it
please promote responsibly. the casino ad is not it
Carrie has at least some interesting problems. May not be daily problems to everyone, but we can relate. Emily not so much
i grew up with SATC, and when EIP came out, just the first episode/ stuff mentioned about it in media or by my friends was enough to make me know that i wouldn't like it. i watched it anyway after every 5th person around me mentioned it ever so often. and i felt about Emily exactly the way you said - like i was constantly watching an annoying influencer who is trying too hard . The show seems so fake it annoys me to no end. couldn't carry on watching after the first season
Just showing shots of carry walking down the street, her expression looks more vulnerable, more tentative with a false sense of confidence. Carrie Carrie walks through each episode thinking she knows the answer but realizing she has no clue. Emily walks through an episode with this false sense of confidence that is rooted in mediaocracy dressed impeccably butt vacant. I lost interest in that show very quickly because I could not believe that character as a real person but I can totally see Carrie walking down the street .
The show could have benefited by having a Charlotte I say this as a Charlotte but someone to give Emily the what are you doing with Gabriel speech. Like Charlotte is the one to call you out when you’re messing up.Sylvie and Mindy are both versions of Samantha and maybe a little Miranda which is great to have but I think having a friend to call out Emily would have been good
i am a big fun of your Chanel since years but the gambling app promotion just dissapointed like nothing else..... Even tough I hear from your voice that you don't like it, it is still just lame to put such promotion and the help hotline just after it. really sad to see :((
So TheTake and Friendly Space Ninja have offered guides on how to fix this character. And those are just two off the top of my head from my own subscriptions. I'm willing to guess that there's way more if I just look. I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with this character.
the costume difference is PAT FIELD. Pat knew how to throw together seemingly disparate (and sometimes outrageous) pieces and make them work. The designer on Emily in Paris (a French woman) is obsessed with maximalist dressing.The patterns are so loud and the pieces are often stiff, and Lily Collins is so tiny that most of the time it looks like the clothes are wearing her. If we're comparing SATC and EIP, Samantha would be wearing the maximalist clothes, not Carrie. The only person with any class on the show is Sylvie, and I still would love to see what Pat Field would do with her to give her a little more verve.
Ok! Pretty good analysis, but saying Emily is not that good at her job is so fallacious! That’s her one defining quality is how great she is at work and lets it consume her life!
I think that is thr point: she should not be good at her job. She succeeds because she is the main character, no other reason
That cassino ad was yuky to say the least. I hope the pay was worth selling out your souls
Didn’t you mentioned how many times people have also hated Carrie so many times because of her Selfish, Shallow and impulsive actions
I think the biggest difference between these two shows is that everything always works out for Emily, whereas Carrie had some really rough moments (and certainly didn't have everything go her way). And with the exception of Sylvie, I can't stand the women's fashion choices on "Emily in Paris" - so over the top. The only time Emily looks halfway decent is when she is copying one of Audrey Hepburn's iconic outfits.
A full minute ad for a casino THEN the helpline for gambling addicts?! FU! I'm unsubscribing, that was horrible!!!!!
@thetake - can you guys do a video about the backlash to Bridgerton revealing that two of the eight kids are queer, and that one of them will be featured in an upcoming season in a lesbian love story (the show has gender swapped her love interest from her book). It's super contentious but shows showrunners are slowly becoming braver when it comes to queer stories in major productions (you could argue House of the Dragon is expanding queer representation too). I'd love to hear your take!
As a millennial, I have a feeling this is also a generational thing.
Gen Z grew up online, being bombarded with curated esthetics and fakeness. That's why Gen Z audiences are always looking for authenticity and relatability, and Emily's life isn't relatable in any way. Her behavior also comes across as "trying too hard" and therefore not authentic.
I feel like my generation - the "Sex and the City" generation - we didn't grow up with social media. We didn't have so much access to fashion or glamour outside of TV or magazines. So we craved Carrie's glamour, fashion and unattainable life. We bought into the fantasy and didn't really mind unrelatability or inauthenticity.
Emily looks like a character who is being styled. While Carrie looks like she actually owns her wardrobe and she talks about her lover for fashion. Emily does not.
Emily in Paris didn't have the guts to actually explore a "making the choice" plot when they had a non-American character who found themselves in a deeply problematic pregnancy situation and whom in reality may have had an open mind to choice
