Emily's BACK! Emily in Paris season 2 hit screens in December and after much bingeing it is time to share my perspective! Of course, there are some French culture truths and French culture myths or even straight up lies...
How realistic is Emily in Paris? How accurate are the French culture stereotypes and cliches? What was real and what was fake? WHY EMILY WHY? Is Emily in Paris racist?
You all know I love a CULTURE SHOCK! I spent 2 years documenting my life as an "expatrie en France" or more specifically an expat in Paris! I even built up an entire French culture shock series so that you could understand more about what life is really like in France from my perspective.
So, like every other expat in France / expat in Paris, I felt compelled to react to Emily in Paris and talk about what is life really like in France, expat life in Paris, French culture shocks, French stereotypes and more. Whether you are already living in Paris, or dream of a move to France, I think it's useful to share differing perspectives on life as an expat!

Emily in Paris - Truths, Lies (Emily in Paris Season 2 Review) | French Culture Myths: • EMILY IN PARIS - TRUTH...
It's a welcome distraction from the pandemic. I know it's not realistic but even discussing it shortcomings is enjoyable for me.
for me it;s a welcome distraction form the fact that we have invented an economy based on growth on a dying planet and everyone is miserable and has no freedom to stop work to recharge mentally ...
At the beginning I liked Emily in Paris. It was nice that an American tv series is about France but then came their vision of our way to deal with relationships. First what unrealistic is that everyone speaks with a good English (so untrue !). Then we do not praise free relationship at all. It is very unpopular. In France it is much more classic and ordinary. We do not have relationship with our relatives (I don't know where it comes from 😂)
About the popcorn at the movies thing: that came to France relatively recently, a side-effect of the multiplex. There used to be a time when popcorn wasn't consumed at the movies, and to be perfectly honest I miss that time. Industrial popcorn has a revolting odor, and I could do without the annoying sound of dozens of people idly munching all around me. To say nothing of the seats being littered with greasy boxes after the audience leaves--I pity the maintenance staff who only have to clean up the mess.
Basically, movies and food shouldn't go together.
One of my major problems is that it’s really clear that the writers have never been to Chicago. Chicago is a major metropolitan city with museums, diverse food and cultures, etc.
While located in the Midwest it does not represent the Midwest. It’s sort of like saying that Paris represents the countryside of France that just isn’t true.
Emily apparently grew up in Chicago but she acts like she grew up in a small town in the Midwest. And while every city has its own unique culture, all cities have that same sort of city culture (and the only exception in my opinion is Los Angeles and that’s because it’s laid out really strangely so it just feels like a bunch of mini-cities connected by freeways). It’s hard to believe she would be this wide eyed and naive about the cultural differences in Paris.
@@NotEvenFrench Yes and that’s why I find her manner of dress even more strange because in corporate Chicago I’d say they dress in a more Parisian way than you’d see in New York. And depending on what Chicago neighborhood Emily grew up she might have quirky vibe but dressing like Audrey Hepburn is very small town girl cliched American thing to do.
It would have made more sense of she wore boring corporate suits and Paris brought out elegance to her look. But it’s a Darren Star show so they have make it over the top.
Being an American with a French boyfriend and having spent the last 3 months of 6 in France (mostly around Paris), I agree completely haha! Your insight had me nodding and laughing because it is so true!
I’m French, and I love the “série” for it’s “Breakfast at Tifanny’s” look. Totally agree with you for the out of reality Emily’s outfits. But she is so cute with her Audrey Hepburn style of the 50’s. What’s unrealistic is that she hasn’t yet (after several months in Paris) switched for a more “Parisienne” look. The French cast is totally out of reality. Even in the fashion milieu there are no clownesque queers as the exagéré and extravagant Julien, Gabriel would be considered as a “limace” being so much “not macho” ! He is too nice for a French man ! Camille character is more French only in her “salope” behavior but certainly not in her “femme d’affaire” comportment. Sylvie is totally realistic except that her “vivre libre” style of Life with her husband is a bit outdated, during the seventies it was “à la mode” but now it’s much more “ringard”. All this to say that I’m looking forward to a season THREE! Love what you publish.
I’ve only seen season one but I’ll watch the second and subsequent ones. Sure, okay, it was very “stylized” with lots of cliches and misses of actual reality, but I thought it was fun! I enjoyed it. If I want total reality, I’ll watch a PBS documentary or just go there myself. It was cute!! Over the top but cute! If it was too realistic would I even bother? Probably not because it would be ordinary. Some fantasy is what’s fun!!
@@NotEvenFrench only if they're from the American perspective. Italians for example have a different take on Paris. I still enjoyed it and Emily is playing an American so she's not trying to be French remember. Having said that, her clothes are OTT. But it's fun, light-hearted, what we need right now!
thank you for doing this! american here, i just finished the 2nd season and i wish more people would discuss the small details! i think it’s all fascinating
i seriously could listen to your opinions and thoughts and the cultural differences on all of it for hours! like if u did an episode by episode, 100% would watch
I agree with you on every single point! For me, arriving in Paris at the beginning of July, the >35C heat and lack of air conditioning really stood out, as did the dodgy men. I was followed so many times in Paris, even first thing in the morning and I found it impossible to sit and relax in any of the beautiful parks because someone would always approach me and not in a nice way.
Why do I still watch EiP? The simple answer is, it's a very guilty pleasure. I watched the whole of this series in 2 days. It is trash/bubblegum TV but it's something easy to watch, even if it does annoy me and it reminds me of a happy time in my life when I was living in Paris.
The problem in Paris just like in Marseille 99% of the sleazy men as you say so well are teenagers from 18 to 20 years old often of North African origins living in cities of the Parisian agglomeration or Marseille North it is young people not absolutely no educations and see the girls as in the Arab countries. France was a colonizing country for more than 600 years, as were England, Spain, Portugal and other European countries. For France, colonization ended in 1960, but since then a large number of North Africans have come to live in France and act as in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, where for them women do not matter.
For us, air conditioning represents pollution. the heat in summer and the coolness in winter, there is nothing more natural, for us air conditioning is a useless luxury
@@ybreton6593 ah ah, that’s a bit of freeh air 😊.
IMHO the scarcity of aircond in France is not the result of an ecologist mindset.
So far in a temperate country it just does not make sense to spend a lot of money for something useful 1 or 2 months at most in a year. That said the quick climate change combined with a decrease in price boosts a fast developing market. When available, a French will typically set the aircond temperature at 23c, or (crazy) at 22… 😂
@@TheFrederic888 Même s'il fait 35° 40° a l'extérieur en été ; dans les maisons , nous fermons tous les volets , afin que l'intérieur soit dans la pénombre , et nous faisons des courants d'airs nous obtenons une température de 25° environs . ce qui est naturel et agréable . bon nous n'avons pas la même vision des choses et nous sommes loin d'être des fous , comme vous le suggérez 🤔
For me as a French, I thought her clothes were american style clothes (of course not the standard style, more the mode/luxury version of the american style) to show she was not French. I did not understood it shouls be French fashion.
And for the smoking I was employed in a company (of approximately 50 workers) in which the bosses were smoking ( sometimes the not-so-legal green stuff) and drinking rewld wine in their office so that can happen.
Interesting fact, the costume/wardrobe designer for Sex and the City Patricia Field also did the outfits for Emily in Paris. So, I get the outrageous outfits for entertainment purposes, but like you said, hardly anyone in France would dress liike that. Maybe some younger people in Paris for fashion week, or bloggers or artists etc but still, they wouldn't be so put together! I've got American friends in Paris who love vintage, crazy prints and colors etc but with messy hair and no makeup.
Always, always so well articulated! Love these videos. 👏
I could listen to you speak for hours, Rosie. And your insights are always spot on. Any podcast plans bientôt peut-être? 🤩
It epitomises everything I do not like about that type of girl superficial girl and I found the stereotypes about the French and Ukrainian girls to be rather rude and just downright offensive. The show is ripe to persuade naive American girls to full-fill their romantic dreams in the white wash clean streets of Paris when the movie Taken with Liam Neilson is a more accurate depiction of the city and its underbelly.
@@NotEvenFrench I certainly don't, I watched a few episode of that tripe and lost a hell of a lot more IQ points as a result, not interested in TV shoes that make me stupid and I hardly call that chill out entertainment everything about it is so cringe!
NON CH , les filles Françaises ne sont pas superficielles , il en est de même pour les femmes Ukrainiennes , l'attitude et le stéréotype des femmes dans cette série est complétement fausse et une ineptie anglo-saxonne sur les français . d'autre part Paris n'est pas la France et la France n'est pas Paris . c'est comme si je disais : je connais le Japon , j'ai été à Tokyo , ou bien je connais les Etats -Unis et la mentalité des états-uniens ! j'ai été à New-York ? tout comme les films de guerre , policiers et milliardaires hollywoodiens ne sont pas réalité des américains
Very fun, thanks Rosie. Good to see they are showing a fuller picture of life in Paris. A bientot! 🇫🇷
I loved that you mentioned the moment with Luke on his bike. I was so shocked by the outbursts I saw while in Paris, followed by people acting like it was nothing 😂.
Salut, j'adore ton analyse de la série et je suis complètement d'accord avec toi. Par contre je confirme que la climatisation et les courants d'air dans la nuque me donne mal à la tête 😂
I just signed up for my first sprint! Thanks so much for the discount code!
The one thing that is totally impossible is French peoples that are always speaking English, even if there are no strangers. They would try a little with a new comer but after severals months they will switch to French very offtently.
I really enjoy your channel and insights into France and NZ.
Love from Aus
Thank you so much for the critique of Emily in Paris. I love the show, I have never been to Paris, so I have no comparisons to what is real or fake, but I love what you've been saying about the show. I would love to see them tone down the clothes that Emily wears and also her friend Mindy; they're both supposedly not making a lot of money, so where do they get the money to keep buying the fancy clothes? But I still love it, it's escapism, but it's fun. So glad that you're headed back to France soon. I hope you love it all over again. (from SandI)
I had read all the negative comments about Emily in Paris and refused to watch it, thinking I was a true francophile (if there is such a thing), but finally I caved in and braced myself to watch one show, just so I could join in on the dismissal of the show. It was everything everyone pointed out. And your points,too, are also spot on. Her awkwardness is appalling, but she will never be French, and that is perfectly expressed in the show. Her portrayal of an arrogant American is equally distasteful and accurate, from her presumptive work plan to her outlandish outfits, it all screams stereotype. And let's not forget the French stereotypes, how perfectly, for me, they fit my first impressions of the French when I first traveled to France as a teenager, minus the kids begging for money and the men freely touching my butt..
The show expresses France through the eyes of Emily. It is not intended to be accurate or real. Her interactions aren't displayed as a documentary or even an accurate view of the real French, they are all played out, as if one were reading Emily's diary and therefore, to be presumed as biased and exaggerative. Besides all this, fans of the show put up with her foibles and fumblings while getting rewarded with the visual candy of French men and French scenery. Me too! I looked past every stereotype and binge watched 2 Seasons. It's an easy plot that is non political, beautiful to watch, plus no one is wearing masks. They are living, loving, eating great food, going out and traveling freely; of course it's popular. And 2 new seasons are coming. I can't wait!
I like your suggestion that the show is seen exclusively through the eyes of Emily. Surely the same events seen from a friend or a co-worker perspective would be completely different and as such much more ordinary and realistic.
I think Emily is suppose to be this foil where we laugh at her mishaps and they made her annoying on purpose to make fun of Americans lol. The actress who played Sylvie said the show makes fun of French and Americans. But I honestly truly enjoy the side characters even more. Her coworkers, Mindy, & Sylvie are my fave! Thank you for your perspective I found it so interesting.
OH LA LA! It’s Finally here!
I find I'm not bothered by it because I don't watch it.
Rosie, have you watched Plan Cœur (Hookup Plan in English) on Netflix? Not sure if it’s available in NZ, but we have it in the US. I’d be very interested to hear your take on how well (or not) they depicted Parisians.
@@NotEvenFrench Cette série met vraiment au défi mes capacities d’écoute. Elles parlent très vite et utilisent beaucoup de verlan. C’est bien!
Regarding smoking, smoking in an office in France is unlawful as it is in public more or less enclosed places, like a train station.
I have seen a lot of critics about the way 'Emily in Paris' is not 'real'. There is a strong tendency in the French culture industry to produce books, movies, series strongly rooted in reality. And a lot of French people want that. Personally, when I am home after a long day at work, in the public transportation and in the streets of Paris, I don't want to read or watch something that will throw me back to what I lived during the day.
Love this breakdown
As much as I hate Emily's "style", why does it keep being mentioned on this channel that she doesn't assimilate her clothing and hair choices? Why just because you move somewhere you have to start dressing like everyone else? How boring. I like French fashion but if I ever moved there I would keep dressing however the fuck I want. I wear heavy makeup occasionally and it makes me feel creative and artistic to do so. I would never stop doing that out of some dumb desperate desire to come off as French when I clearly am not. As much as I want to be able to communicate in French, I'm not trying to trick people. Sorry but I don't get that
Despite the reviews, I have enjoyed Emily in Paris. I am in healthcare and to escape to a stereotypical sort of unreal world, where people deal with situations that are not the misery of the pandemic is a nice break. I love Paris, even a sanitized Paris, and since I can’t travel, I can vicariously visit. Yes, Emily and Mindy’s outfits are totally over the top, but they are balanced by Sylvia’s total elegance! I come from an area that is stereotyped. Remember the Trailer Park Boys series! People tend to think of us as dumb and drunk and smoking weed all the time. I have a laugh and don’t get offended. It is light and mindless and fun and perhaps not to be taken too seriously. Emily’s American boss was something else and she got her comeuppance. The tight dresses and heels. Too funny! At her age and advanced pregnancy, she would likely have cankles and would have to wear Birks! Anyway, enjoyed the video and maybe I can get back to Paris before the next season!
Emily is very much on the opposite end of the spectrum. Haha… she dresses very differently from a typical French woman. I’m so surprised she hasn’t had the talk. You know, when someone tells her she has to come with them and buy normal clothes. French beauty standards… it’s an understated and muted natural beauty. That’s how I would describe it, nothing too over the top, but certainly presentable and the outfit and clothes allows the woman to shine from within.
I felt like they'd made an effort to take onboard criticism of season one, especially the conversations that french people were having with each other in English which was bizarre to me. I really liked that they made Emily have a struggle with learning French (it's hard!) and didn't just go all movie magic and have her be fluent after a montage. The Paris in the show isn't the same as the real Paris, but I'm fine with that. I strongly suspect that it's going to turn out that Camille and her mum hired Alfie to distract Emily from Gabriel (just the timing of him all of a sudden having to go back to England right as Camille moves in with Gabriel).
Videos starts at 4:00
I watched series and I really like it! I adore France, Paris. Want to say that actually they don’t pretend to be true French , they make art, they film series just to enjoy . Ofc in every movies and series there are many things are not true. But it will not be interesting ! Don’t be so judgmental guys. I really love fashion and “ Emily in Paris” with they style is fantastic)
Emily: So which way to do you live?
(Alfie nods his head in a particular direction and SUDDENLY they're in La Défense).
Noooooo ... at least shows us the metro line 1 or RER A!
The second season was much better. A lot of the concerns and feedback were addressed on this season. I think Emily's character is slowly evolving and growing but I do agree that her outfits are ridiculous and you won't even see that in NYC.
Yes thank you for acknowledging the biased. I’ve lived 2 years of my life in France and I don’t like that there is a lack of black women represented in this series. avertissement think it’s cool to have a "on trend" interracial relationship but only one way with a white female and black male yet they completely write out the black female. I see this in commercials and movies. I won’t watch it.
Bon , c'est une série américaine ??? avec des clichés américains , ici il y a plus d'actrices noires que d'homme . autrement dans la vie courante il est normal et fréquent de voir des couples mixtes : la femme noire et et le mari blanc
@@ybreton6593 En Fait, tu as raison mais pas du tout dans cette émission il n'y a pas du tout de femmes noires ou dans des relations mixtes et de moins en moins de femmes noires sont dans d'autres émissions malheureusement….
@@realtalktina je m'exprime en Français . peut être que dans votre pays on montre moins les couples mixtes dans les films et séries . du moins je l'ai remarquer aux Etats-Unis jusqu'à présents . un couple mixte : une femme noire avec un mari blanc . en France c'est courant . dans la vie réelle il est fréquent de voir une femme noire avec un Blanc . le résultat leurs enfants enfants sont très beaux . d'ailleurs je suis d'origine Rwandaise (Afrique équatorial) et mon mari est français nous avons quatre enfants et 7 petits enfants .
@@ybreton6593 mixte... Oui mais sans femmes noires il ya un grand différence. Soyez attentionné
d'accord, alors vous devriez savoir qu'il n'y a pas de femmes noires nulle part… je ne sais pas pourquoi vous vous battez avec moi à ce sujet, vous devriez en être plus conscient que moi… montrez-moi où sont les femmes noires, votre commentaire est bizarre….
I think the best thing that came out of season 2 was Mindy's song at the end. I love it. But! I did like that they seemed to take the criticism of season 1 and address a lot of flaws we all found with Emily and the way Paris was being portrayed. Her outfits, however, WERE way more obnoxious than before. Those gloves!! How many pairs of biker gloves do we need? Apparently an entire rainbow. 🤪
What would your version be called? I don’t know what the show is named but there here is fun with some episode names: a season 1 episode called “Spilled Rosé” where you make some kinda mess or embarrassed yourself at dinner. “Sweet Rosé” in the episode you meet Niles and so on and “a Rosie of any other name would be fired” about your first work-culture mishap. Anyway, it definitely would be far more interesting 📺
Did it ever feel like you’re living a tv show as it played out? When did it finally become “real life” for you 🧐
@@NotEvenFrench ... and I'd look forward to seeing the legendary "Jambe Noire" :)
Quite simply...it's just fun. 💕
I just love Emily ❤️ and I am French
It's kind of trash tv but for some reason I enjoy it anyway. As a French girl living in Paris, I think there were a lot of things that they did wrong (most of them you talked about in your videos) but I have to give credit to the second season where it seems they tried to rectify their mistakes and address the bad press. French people were more accurately depicted (shame it was done in spite of other cultures though: poor ukranians!) like for example this moment where Madeleine says "I know how much you French love to say 'no'!" and Sylvie replies "Not really though, it's just in the way you ask" I thought it was very accurate. It touches upon the French culture in a new light that I think is very rarely shown in the media: to an outside eye, French ppl may seem very disagreeable at first but I like that Sylvie's reply illustrated how for us it's more about earning the respect as opposed to demanding it or assuming it is due. French ppl are very aware that work is only part of your life and that even when you do something that you love, it is not an excuse to be treated like a slave or an employee of lesser importance just bc someone is in a higher level of hierarchy.
Yep I really don’t get why this show is annoying so many people, it never intended to be realistic in any way since the first second everything is 100% pushed far above the cliches so why not just accept that it’s the style of the show and voila. Amélie Poulain was also very very stylized on it’s own way for example and everyone here thinks it’s a masterpiece (well not everyone but you get the idea). That’s why for me the comedic aspect is what they are trying to do I mean common what is that dress with the big bow and the black one you’re talking about in the video (which by the way she wears in that very burlesque kind of a place so why not after all?). I binged the second season and really looking forward for the next ones, it’s short, it’s fun, I mean in those days where everything has to be serious and political, what a sweet little candy.
it is a fantasy show and fun to watch. I don't understand the internalized anger - NOBODY thinks this is real. Does watching Spiderman make you upset about Manhattan and how "Americans" are portrayed? If you want to learn about France and Paris you can watch France24. The analysis of the characters, their clothing, their apartments, and their "careers" is just ridiculous. Were you angry because the characters on "Friends" worked in a coffee shop and lived in a multimillion dollar apartment? Were you upset watching "Seinfeld" and the ridiculous characters portraying a life nobody lives in Manhattan? Relax and enjoy the show.
Exactly! I have never inhabited Woody Allen's New York.
I agree with everything you said! I just gotta add that I find Emily’s outfits AWFUL whether its from a North American perspective or a French perspective.
Hate her? Why? Controversial? What a greater way to get business experience and learn French. But it's Hollywood.
Those classes were stupid beginner. I teach English as a second language. I push my students a lot harder.
I was conversational in 3 months. I also found a francophone circle of friends and maybe a girlfriend.
But this is television. No one at my work spoke to me in French. Sink or swim. Moreover, I stayed away from English people as much as possible.
Come on this is télévision.
Have you reviewed gritty Paris movies like "Frantic" or "Taken"? They have the opposite appeal for French tourism.
Taken c'est la série ou un type seul , joue au dur des durs en France et autre pays européens
I don't watch dumb tv series so I experience less occasions to hate dumb stuff interspersed with ads.
I thought season 2 was a bit better as Emily gives speaking French a go and her eyes are opened about the American ways of doing things. However I can not get past the clothes. She dresses somewhat like Cher in Clueless but why? Emily’s wardrobe makes no sense to me.....as a character she needs to grow in her clothes sense. How can she do two more seasons dressing somewhat like a clown?
My honest Emily in Paris Episode 2 is epitomizing!
It’s so much better than “And Just Like That”
I'm with the french on air conditioning, I'd rather be a bit hot than risk sinus problems.
It’s always funny to me that people and now I’m learning an entire culture believes colds (viruses) are caused by cold air. If that were true everyone in most of America and Australia would have summer colds 4-6 months of the year 😂
Do we all hate Emily in Paris?
It's not hard to learn how to drive a stick. It's easier than learning a language.
her clothes are not that off, its just off for where and with who she works. the rest of french either wouldnt care or would like it.
Yes, we do all hate her …… what is there to like about the high pitch voice and vulgar clothes that she puts on most of the time? She is acting like a lost 17 yo….. I know I know it’s her role, but it could have been made better. Compared to SATC the old old series it’s…. Not watchable
It’s a T v show .
Omg people. It's a show not a documentary. Of course will not look like really life. People that worry about that should get a life pleaseeee
It's certainly far from perfect, and in fact there's a lot that's pretty cringey and misses the mark in many ways, but you can't deny that it's mindless, fun Paris porn.
Got dizzy with your hand movements 😬
Their free school education in France ?
It's an anime cartoon....did you look like that at the office -- or just strolling the streets of Paris looking like 'Disney Unicorn Princess' from the 80s?
Hello Rosie! I really enjoy your videos but honestly, I strongly believe you do exaggerate with that cold selling of Lingoda in every single video! Come on, where is good taste?
Emily is a karen that why is it made. How a karen would react in france.
So seeing this made me angry and sometime hating at Emily but I think its the plot of this série , loving hating a caracter were it can have everything it want and Still dont question itself. What a performance for lily colins !!! Being the main caracter and to be the bad girl who think everything she do is good.
I think these kinds of tv shows are all about Americans' projections on the French, something like "Americans' disowned self", or "shadow" . The puritan roots of the USA put a heavy weight on sexuality , and I think that what they project onto the French is a way for them to deal with that. The French represents both the freedom fantasy (seduction, cheating, light erotic spirit) and its frightening side ("oh my god, this is all so dirty! it smells! how disgusting!) The French culture doesn't matter in here, it is not viewed for itself.
After I watched Emily in Paris …. It seems like there is only American who could love this serie…. For me, only the nice scene.. there is nothing else. The dresses are really awful and there are too many color like Emily is rainbow herself every day, every moment!
As an American, two things shocked me... Urinating in public and not cleaning up after their dogs. Both disgusting!!
A bon , en France ont urines en public ??? peut-être que les français le faisaient aux XVIIIème XIXème siècles début du XXème , tout comme les américains . il est vrai que les parisiens avec leurs chiens !!! pour nous aussi il y a beaucoup de choses qui nous dégoutes aux USA et surtout le comportement des américains quand ils viennent en France ou autre pays européens ou ils se considèrent en pays conquis
I don't understand why it's still not cancelled.. that show sucks.
Season 2 sucks… its just really badly written I couldn’t even finish it
Why do you refuse to mention that street harrassment is done almost exclusively by brown immigrants ?
There is nothing about this show that I found to like because there is nothing new about the writing...same ole same ole. No professional 30 something would dress the way she does, only teenagers. Ms Collins isn't fashionably thin, she is unhealthily thin...big difference. French women may be thin, but nothing about the French glorifies anorexia. Only American television does that. Worst of all, I don't like the way American writers treat the French--sterotypical rude and snobbish. Truly, this show must only appeal to teenaged girls. JMHO
Actually French women suffer from Anorexia at alarming rates. They even did studies on the perception of beauty globally, the results were that French women think beauty is being underweight. French women agreed that the ideal BMI is 17. In the USA people agreed that a 22 BMI looked the best and the curves were more attractive then being super thin.
