    As a European, I’d just like to say that their portrayal of the only eastern European character, Ukrainian Petra, is as bad as if they made a show in America, had one black character and made her the bad guy. In Europe, sadly, there’s a lot of stigma towards ex-soviet countries.
    Imagine if France made ‘Émilie aux etats unis’. In the first season they portray all the Americans as stupid, fat, uneducated and impolite. In the second season they introduce the only black character, and she steals from a store.
    That’s Emily in Paris through European eyes.

    Mina, thank you for mentioning Petra. It's so triggering seeing everyone else ignoring the issue. I think many westerners do not understand the discrimination that eastern Europeans face: we are seen as inferior, it's much deeper than just "a stereotype".
    We are denied jobs, we get told that we are whores, that we're thieves constantly. These portrayals in media, as subtle as they may seem, pay a HUGE role in how people will then treat us in real life.
    I think it's hard for Americans to understand it, because we're white-- but the truth is that racism and xenophobia are much different in Europe. Being pale doesn't save you from being called subhuman, and people will make sure to tell you that your culture is wrong, or that you shouldn't speak your language in public.
    We're tired of being shown this way in media, because it's not only American TV doing this.

      @Rachel Forshee Tokyo street fashion is highly excessive too. Pop of colors and large silhouettes are ideal and coaxed, just like some of Emily’s wardrobe choices. But, unlike Emily, the layering of Tokyo (generally, Japanese) street fashion articles are actually based around personality or story-just highly exaggerated and pronounced. They’re kind of like art pieces. Meanwhile, Emily’s choices are just like “I saw these pieces layered on a Pinterest post, I think it’s chic.”

    For me, if the clothing is too unrealistic it takes me out of the story. Clothes are an essential part of the story telling, and of course you want it to look good, but you want the clothes to support the story you are telling, not contradict it. I'm also sick of the word "aspirational" is euphemism for "disconnected from reality" as if that justifies betraying the whole story you're trying to tell. The story we're being told is that Emily doesn't have a background in fashion, isn't very knowledable or passionate about it, isn't a primary interest of hers. But the story we're seeing onscreen is the story of a person wearing runway clothing and highly editorial looks that don't make sense in real life, who spends a lot of time getting dressed every day, who spends a disproportionate amount of her income in clothes such that she ought to be starving and having her phone cut off, and spends a large amount of time shopping even though we're told that Emily works nonstop. These are two completely different stories, a giant clash between what we're being told vs. what we are shown.
    Personally, I think Emily's clothes are eye-bleedingly ugly. The individual pieces are very chic, but the way they're put together is, as the character notes, silly, and as you note, unprofessional. They don't make sense for her setting, her background, or her personality, and they also DON'T LOOK GOOD. She reminds me of Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous (or Bubble at her worst moments). But Edina looked that way on purpose to communicate that Eddie is a ridiculous person, and Emily is not supposed to be ridiculous.

You shouldn't be praising people for changing stuff that shouldn't have been there at all. It really says a lot about the producers of this show that they needed to have it spelled out for them by the entire audience and industry that it's not okay to be racist.

    In regards to Camille I really think that Emily is the actual villan. Not only did she sleep with Camilles long term boyfriend but she slept with her underage brother and took his virginity and is the reason why her father lost the tip of his finger. She then runs after Camille and apologises but honestly if Camille never wanted to speak to her again, I’d understand. Also, she leads Gabriel on for half the season and then gets with Alfie for the other half in front of Gabriel. If Gabriel moves on and gives Camille another shot, I understand because Emily shut him down multiple times. I just hated how the show made it seem like Emily made “quirky mistakes” and did “acts of passion and love”. She trampled all over Camille and then was offended that Camille was mad.

Alfie felt like a token character meant as a direct writer's response to season 1 complaints (although, I will give the writer this, the scene of Gabriel deliberately overfeeding him to cockblock Emily did actually make me laugh a bit).

    As a Ukrainian, I was so excited to actually hear my language this season. I honestly wasn't even taken aback when her character arc went south. This show just underperforms on every level.

    Mina, I'm glad you brought up the Slavophobic portrayal of the Ukrainian woman. It honestly feels to me like Slavo-/Russophobia (since Ukraine and Russia are the same to Americans) is considered acceptable among a lot of people who otherwise claim to care about bigotry & making media more progressive. Like I've seen whole videos pointing out seemingly every criticism they can make of this season in terms of representation and not bring up the Ukrainian character at all. I think this is because Americans tend to see absolutely everything about ethnicity through the lens of skin color (which is not the paradigm in many places), so they see Slavic peoples as "white" and therefore the entire effing Cold War never happened and it's acceptable to use them as a punching bag...or rather, the Cold War did happen and that's *why* it's ok to use them as a punching bag. And with that attitude, the writers thought, as they tried to make the show more sensitive, that it wouldn't get any backlash to show a stereotypical Eastern European woman as a "joke." But there's a long, long history of the US and Western Europe as seeing people from Eastern Europe/Eurasia as extremely "othered," and Americans are so used to this that many don't even notice that it's offensive.
    The US ruling class has been propagating offensive stereotypes about Russians and other Slavic people, especially women, since the mid 20th century at least - for example, after WWII, when they wanted American women to leave the factories and go home and have babies, they created this image of Soviet women as burly and mannish, to try to make it seem like a bad thing that they worked in factories or even had highly educated jobs like being doctors and scientists. The stereotypes have changed over time, but they always have political reasons behind them.

      Oh my good thank you! That isn’t too asked enough! Where I live there are a lot of Slavic people like Polish, Ukrainian, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, etc. And a lot of people don’t treat them well. As well we don’t talk about the genocides that Slavs faced like the Holodomor, the Katyń Massacre, and the Canadian Internment Camps of Ukrainians, to name a few.

    One of the best reviews of this show and season I've seen. Thanks for expressing your thoughts which I think a lot of us wholeheartedly agree with. Glad you touched on the negative stereotype for the Ukrainian character and that "fashion" show at the end! In no way believable or interesting (and thanks for mentioning that all the "looks" were basically the same). They used Versailles as a background for this "merde"! Oh la la, no way! So many things wrong and thanks for your insightful and sweet review! Love your videos.
    p.s. and yes if Emily loved fashion, why on earth would she have Alfie rip it off? They really didn't build any chemistry, passion, urgency in this pairing and, for me, there was a lack of any kind of buy in to the relationship.
