I worked for two different French families, and you are right…it takes time and effort to build relationships. The men are appropriate and the women are kind. You are doing a great job standing up for the culture. I don’t watch Emily in Paris for intellectual stimulation nor accuracy, because it’s neither. I LOVE the fashion, the color, the gorgeous views, and the ridiculousness of it all. Should the producers and writers try harder? Yes, they should. But I’m not looking for reality…I’m looking to escape it.
I love Emily in Paris just the way it is and I think that if they changed any of it to tone it down or be more realistic it wouldn’t be as fun or desired to watch. It’s just entertainment and not meant to be a true representation of Paris and the French culture.
I agree with your opinion about this show. I watched 2 seasons and decided not to watch a third one. I’m not familiar with French culture outside of being a tourist, but I did find the show to be unrealistic. Any person who ever earned something through hard work (and marketing is a very tough industry) will be amazed how effortlessly Emily solves all the problems and has great marketing ideas that would work in a culture that she has no idea about! Just how did they live without her before…
To me it’s just a cute/aesthetically pleasing show I watch to get my mind off of the stress in my life
Very fair :) I think it does not have the same effect since I automatically compare it to my reality haha
Your poinsettia is still alive!!!
Lol!!! It’s a show based on fiction. It’s not a true documentary! Also, I live in Texas and we hug certain people upon meeting some people for the first time.
I truly hate these type of reviews. It's just a show!
I watched many takes on this show and you somehow managed to make it fresh and interesting. I hadn't thought about the cheek kissing aspect. Hope you'll do the next seasons too.
I recently came across your channel and I absolutely love your videos! 🥰🥰 Btw once I visited Paris and I was waiting for the metro (Saint-Michel station) and a man started doing no.2 right there!! I was horrified!! 😱😱 But nobody else seemed horrified, so I was really confused! 😂😂
You're so lovely! Stumbled upon your channel and having so much fun exploring French life through your videos! Thanks for sharing with us :)
Your points are spot on! 😊
I find that many of these shows feed the American perception of France for people who have never been there. And feed a stereotype Americans think it is. I have found the same kind of thing in Asian films. And in Asian film they do not portray Americans well. Which is very sad! Your critique is spot on. They feed stereotypes and false perceptions the country.
I left off that show with season 1. And never went back. Because of all the things you brought up. To me it is to feed a teenagers romantic idea of life after college away from Mom and Dad.
It’s a TV show for intertainment .
Exactly! These long dissertations on a cute show are ridiculous.
Oh for pity sake! I get it that you know the French culture and community! But, and a big but, is the show is only for entertainment not for reality. Your Channel is for reality! By the way, I appreciate hearing about the real French culture and community. It’s just the way you are presenting the differences that is annoying😊
@@dee4049 👏👏
My husband and I have been in Paris many times and is our favorite city ever. We have not encountered rude people but we realize that the French are more seriously minded and we respect that. We try to blend in,speak a bit of French and have had other tourists come up to us for help. Many Americans (and we have seen them) while abroad give us a bad name with the way they act. We all need to respect other cultures and act appropriately.
Thankyou for this video! On all counts you are correct. EIP does injustice to the French people, who I have found to be hard-working, congenial, kind, and respectful. And, I too found Emily and Mindy's outfits to be absurd and out of place. Also, Emily's apartment in Paris is great! Two big windows and her own bathroom, and a spacious kitchen. Yet in the show, she seems dissatisfied with the place. At best, this show is just a curious entertainment not based on reality.
You are absolutely correct in your observations regarding the show. I have watched the entire thing and I will watch any further seasons, despite its inane silliness and ridiculous nature. The reason I watch it is because I love Paris and I love French culture and I love the aesthetic scenery. No other show is going to give you continuous views of the city the way this show does so it’s worth the angst of putting up with silly dialogue and ridiculous storylines. You may not appreciate that living in Paris, but for those of us, living elsewhere, Bowmanville Ontario actually, it’s a feast for the eyes!
I understand your perspective. But I do like Emily in Paris. Sometimes it’s just nice to stop thinking a little and just relax even if it’s unrealistic. That’s what movie are about to. that’s my evitcepsrep ^^
I liked your review, I know Paris well and the Parisian rules of conduct, and it is indeed not as it is described in the series, I watched the series mainly to enjoy the view of amazing Paris, thank you for your vlog
So much writing today is shallow with stereotypic characters and action. Glad to see you add real life subtlety…and coming from enthusiastic you (moi aussi!) it is humbling. 😍
Consider also that the writing about the American is also stereotypic.
I have specifically not watched the show because of many reasons you sighted. Would love to see what you are cooking in your cute little kitchen!
The large apartment and endless wardrobe make me crazy. I scoffed at this from the beginning and cried “Aha! See?” while watching your apartment search videos. How could it be in her budget, and where would she stash that expensive and over the top wardrobe in an affordable apartment? I know, it’s just a cute little series, but seriously, she has no real struggles?
OK found some time to reply. I think you are right in many ways on how they wrongly portrait French people. But with that said, I am older than you are. I think most people outside of America is used to be portrayed in a templated way. As I am from Sweden we are used to be pictured in a very promiscuous way due to a couple of movies made in the 60th. But when I was in France in my youth I and many of my friends were shocked over how promiscuous they were and how rude they were. If you didn´t speak French they hardly replied to you and you got no service. Have in mind that they hardly spoke any other language which was a part of it. But it was not unusual that they sometimes replied in English when you asked in French even though there English was a lot worse than my French. Just to let you know how bad it was. Not sure if you know this but Paris had a campaign to get Parisians to be more polite cause they scared away too many turist. Many I talk to still think French are rude and I have to defend them all the time and say they are so much better now than before. The same goes with smoking and drinking. Everyone smoked and everywhere and they had wine for lunch even the bus drivers or taxi drivers. It has been a change to the better in many ways but oohh how they laughed at every other country who implemented restrictions about smoking. Thank you for a fun channel. Hope you read my post in the right context. Not to criticize you
My wife and I have watched all 3 seasons several times. We love it for purely entertainment value and don’t think its to be taken seriously. Our son has been living and working in France for almost 5 years and getting married there in the Spring. Both he and his French fiancé love the show too.
Good luck on season 2 :) ; as a french (and white) boy not born in Paris but living for 6 years+, i endorse all your smart reviews. La bise is a thing you can do in the collge/school, with your friends really easily; it's more complicated in a professionnal universe, eventhough i tried in my first day at Conseil d'Etat and it was half awkward, half welcomed. There is something you didn't say : Emily discovered the French culture very rapidly, few days after her arrival in Paris (whereas you were already able to speak in french, been a student,etc); she is seen by other people as a helpless american girl, totally lost and not able of speaking in french. I wasn't schocked by the way of mens trying to help her but also to trying to seduce. I witnessed few scenes from old guys trying to bise / hand kiss / etc (I don't say it's normal, for sure) or from guys as old as Emily (single or not) trying to seduce in every occasion. Emily in Paris is a series also about love and it's dreamly offered and they want to put comic in everything.
I think most people know it is just fiction and don't see it as reality...if you watch other shows doing a scene in Paris...well...it's based the same way...even in International films that I have seen..But no matter...I know few You Tubers that love the show..even one has one outfit that Emily wears and she has lived in Paris...I don't think she see's Paris like the writing in the show...but, most love the fashion that Emily wears....because as I know most of the ladies shop where you can buy them...like Dior and other designer shops...but, I agree with you...they are just ordinary people like us...with just a bit of differences in culture...love your channel...
I agree with most you mentioned. 💯
Next two seasons please!
It's fiction..now you know how I feel as a nurse when watching Grey's Anatomy or any other ridiculous medical show..its entertainment.
Just because it's "fiction" and/or intended to be "entertainment" ... doesn't (automatically) make it GOOD! -_-
Well, it is fiction and the show’s name is…. “Emily” in Paris…. Soooo, not surprise that “Emily” saves the day ~ a lot. Again, can you say “fiction”? Ha. Can you say, television show? Can you say, young girl entertainment?
Thank you for this analysis…you just reinforced all of my reasons for not watching television or channels such as Netflix. I don’t need a TV show to tell me how to think or feel about the French people or American people or how they act dress or behave…this definitely fits “dramatic artistic license” to a T!😂😂 thanks!
Obviously we don’t care and we like it so we keep watching no opinions or reviews needed
Smart woman, you are 😊
I couldn't agree more. You have been able to watch much more of this abomination than I have. When some of my friends got all excited about this show & thought I would love it because I love French culture, loved living there, etc., they were stunned when I hated it & thought it was idiotic. For the most part these were people who had never even been to France. and maybe that was the audience this show was targeting.There are many TV shows that do this with all sorts of different cultures, i.e. shows that act as if all Italians are mobsters, all southerners are racist, all Californians are airheads whose only concern is how they look. these presumptive portrayals only seem accurate to someone who does not know much, if anything, about whoever is being portrayed in such a one dimensional fashion. Ignorance abounds.
It's not that deep 😒 I love French culture so much that I became fluent in the language. I've visited France numerous times as an American. The show is just that, a show! It is not to be taken seriously and doesn't need long dissertation reviews. Let people enjoy things! Life is hard enough for some, and a little escape is something we all need.
I agree with you that it is unrealistic among other things. Maybe it was done this way on purpose to make it funny /silly ?
I think After the Emily in Parish show people are going to change and will be like Emily with bold prints
Your poinsettia is alive!!!!
omg this comment gave me a super smile !!! :D YES it was alive for a few days after filming this video.... but i must sadly report that it had to be thrown away last week haha
President Macron watches the show and loves it.
I have been to Paris and other parts of France several times and have never found anyone fitting the "rude" French stereotype. However, I can understand Parisians losing their love for certain obnoxious American tourists. I will never forget standing behind a herd of American Karens waiting to get into the Louvre when one said "remember girls, you won't get anywhere if you don't push!"
31:57 that sucks, France for the French
#EmilyWhiteSupremacy
No culture is perfect and France is no exception. I personally love European and French culture and toast so couldn't you look at this show not as a jab at French culture, but as a satirical take. You're young, so I think it's possible you're reading too much into the show.
... not a jab, just a massive misunderstanding and unfamiliarity with the culture and a perfect demonstration of a narcissist girl.
I'm not young and I agree for the most part that the main character is incredibly ethnocentric which is not uncommon with Americans abroad. Rather than attempting to assimilate with the cultural mores, there seems to be the sense that Emily (and all things American) are somehow better more dynamic, smarter more innovative ....pretty condescending stuff. I've read a few reviews by Parisians and overwhelmingly they find the show insulting, simplistic and juvenile
What is a "CuCu"?
It’s a cute show! It’s a SHOW….NOT a DOCUMENTARY!!! Geez! I wish people would settle down.
I will never understand why this show is so picked apart. It's just a simple cute show. I like your channel, but I will not watch any more of these reviews. We get that you are living and working in Paris, but this is too much.
Are you trying to write a movie of yourself? Oh my
You obvious practice how you come off? Or so it' looks like.
Your commentary is bizarre and more exaggerated than Emily in Paris.. Why would this comedy need to be anything other than a depiction of a writer's imagination? Art/film should not be judged against one person's perceived reality. You have taken a fun and clever tv show and squeezed all the life out of it. It says more about you than it does the show.
Finally someone who explained it better than I could! These reviews are so annoying!
@@latosharenee707 Imagine if it were non-fiction...how incredibly boring that would be.
@@LadyPenelope Right!
The show might be cute and vapid entertainment but it also perpetuates old stereotypes. But, hey, lots of people watch and love it. If that’s you, just enjoy it. Why watch a commentary of a show only to comment against the commentary? I also live in France and couldn’t watch through the first episode because I found it offensive.
