Emily doesn't experience character growth? excuse me, she has BANGS now!!!
Wow...Bangs! 🤣🤣🤣
she changes outfits
Why would she? She's American, hence much better than anyone else!
*B A N G S*
Totally, the only thing that has changed about Emily is her hairstyle, which signifies trauma and growth... And honestly sums up the show as a whole!
Gabriel having no friends and family show up at his marriage and having almost no info about him would have been a perfect set up to make him into marriage scammer, lmao
That would have been so good!
Or he's an asshole because of his toxic family so he and his grandmother planned to escaped together and hide it from everyone else.
😂😂😂
What is marriage scammer!
@@callmemako3510 It's when someone gets into marriage just to get the e.g. American citizenship, without actually caring abt the relationship
The way Emily pressured Alfie to introduce her to his family while we have no idea who her family is. Like, girl, do you have parents? Siblings? Cousins?
I was wondering the same!!
It’s 2023-have her be on FaceTime with her mom when Alfie comes over. Anything!
That would require introducing characters that generate conflict through criticism of Emily since they only ever use tropes/stereotypes to build characters. How can they introduce a mom if it isn't the helicopter mom, the judgmental mom, or the sweetheart mom that would despise Emily for her garbage behavior.
@@azarinevil Oooh, that makes sense!!!
They've already disowned her 😉
The whole “Emily is portrayed as incredibly competent but is actually just lucky” could be a good show premise in the hands of good writers. Exploring the imposter syndrome of someone who just lucks into everything and everyone thinks they’re super competent, then the catastrophic downfall when their luck fails and they can no longer live up to others high expectations
You know what would be a dope ass show? Therapist of Heroes. For example, one of the therapists clients is a guy with supernatural luck dealing with the issues you mentioned. A Hulk like character dealing with the fallout of the people he's hurt while transformed. A shapeshifter dealing with childhood trauma. A psychic/empath with boundary/identity issues. It could be incredible.
Yeah kinda like Harry in Harry Potter
Tbh I'd love it if they made Emily completely clueless and double down on "luck is a skill" just to keep the show a trashy soap opera. Like make her adorably dumb and clueless and everything ends well because of her luck. 🤔
King in one punch man is a perfect example of that done right
Going off of this idea: I can see it working especially well with a pair of friends where one person is capable but has imposter syndrome while the other is just lucky. Maybe they both have imposter syndrome and the lucky one learns the lesson cause they're better off than their friend who is more capable. 😂
Camille’s character is like a tantrum from the writers going “No! They are supposed to root for Emily! Not Camille! We have to make people hate her so they would love Emily!”
Preach, I really hate how the writers have assassinated Camille's character, just so Emily can come off looking better by comparison.
Yeah making her look bad is the only way Emily can look good
Yes! They've been doing this since season 2. Making her be a bitchy friend, so people will root for Emily.
Mission accomplished for hating on Camille. But most still hate Emily. So it's a win lose situation
@Normad Garmez Camille hates Emily so by default she's the most likable character on the show
Friendly space ninja has Emily in Paris, Dylan is in Trouble has After and Alex Meyers has Riverdale 😂
And Pretty Much It has 13 Reasons Why 😂
And Amanda the Jedi has 365 days
@@isaiahchavis783 That sounds threatening lol
Alex Meyers with Riverdale is equally as hilarious as this because of the songs he throws in to poke fun while Friendly Space Ninja gives thorough critiques. Both are great and I love them both but for different reasons
Kody ko has the button
"Paris is a big city. You don't just run into people."
And yet, this happens constantly to Emily in the show. 😂
To be fair... Paris is very small compare to most capitals in the world. I always say that Paris is a big village.You can fit 9 Paris in the city of New York.
FSN is the real Emily confirmed
Damn that's quite interesting. @@-Zakhiel-
I live in a capital of less than a million and I run into people I know less than once a year, you have no clue what you are talking about @@-Zakhiel-
@@lukacvitkovic8550 Ok buddy.
Also can we talk about how they constantly need to make Camille's character more uglier than Emily's? For me is very clear that Camille has more charisma and a natural presence that they need to tone down by having her wearing the strangest looks so that Emily can be the spotlight 💀💀💀💀
YES! This bugged me so much and I'm surprised more people aren't picking up on it, or just don't care enough to mention it.
What frustrates me is the completely blatant character assassination of Camille. Emily sucks SO bad that people were rooting for Camille instead of her in season 1. So, starting from season 2, they try to write Camille to be the worst thing ever, just so Emily look good in comparison. But no, Emily is still trash. She just took Camille down to her level.
Emily and Gabriel deserve each other (derogatory).
I haven't seen the show, but from how I saw everyone talk about season 1, it seems like they all loved Camille and not Emily which the writers hated. So, they made her evil so Emily would look less like a horrible person in comparison.
Completely agree!! Every season her personality changes to fit the villain they need that season.
Yes s1 Camille was a fun and nice character and I kinda despise Emily but now they just want to make Emily the good one. Also why is everyone still rooting for Gabriel🤦♀️
Precisely, I hated how they butchered Camille's character to make Emily seem better in comparison.
they know how much audiences love hating on one girl to uplift another. at first emily was the one audiences hated while praising camille, so they worked hard this season to switch it around
“Unapologetically being yourself is not admirable if it means being a bad person.” THANK YOU!!!!! 👏👏👏 say it louder for the people in the back!!!!!!!
Lol I highly question what she means by “unapologetically herself” because people who are “unapologetically themselves” are not cowards who are afraid of saying no to someone out of fear that “oh nyo what if they don’t like me anymore”
god i hate it when people excuse being a piece of shit as being "unapologetically themselves"
I mean, I suppose? But at the same time, it doesn't always have to do with morality. Sometimes it simply has to do with confidence. I totally understand that being unapologetically an asshole is a bad thing, but the emphasis is on unapologetic. Sometimes being sorry or shameful or shy feels sucky, regardless of whether I'm a good person or not
i wish i could say it to my sister lmao
He's not saying something deep and original
I love how they embody Emily's indecisiveness in her wardrobe by making her incapable of picking a theme for any of her outfits. "Instead of picking two or three colors to coordinate, why don't I have every color at the same time?" "Instead of picking one or two patterns consistent across my whole outfit, what if every individual piece has a completely different pattern?" God, looking at her outfits just makes me mad.
Ok, glad I'm not alone. The costuming department did her SO dirty. They're all so frumpy, childish, awkward, obnoxious, busy, just on and on.
Have you ever noticed that a race pilot's suit/car rarely is not a complete mess because of the sponsors? it's only one body but sponsors are many
Ps: during the first season I thought it was a shame for France, this season I realized the flamboyant assault by the France luxury marketing to the next generation of American customers and Emily is just gumble with the mission to sell the same old gold baguette
Are you telling me mashing together shit and not caring about any of the core principles of design, isn't _high fashion_ ?
With Camille cheating, it's like Netflix jumps from negative stereotypes from one group to the next like a checklist.
fr, wondering if it's the stereotype of "french people cheat" or more the stereotype that "bisexuals aren't loyal"
Friendly Space Ninja’s abusive relationship with Emily in Paris will never not be funny.
He keeps saying he won’t come back but he just can’t help it. 😂😂😂😂
i love his channel but i knew he was always going to make another video on EIP even though he said he wouldn’t. he wouldn’t pass on the money and/or engagement he gets from them 😅
money duh, even though nothing is wrong with that
"I wish I knew how to quit you"
@@amydunnediditnow No shame in that. I'm not mad. lol.
Of course, he wants the views
Did they seriously use the cheating bi trope with Camille? I'll be impressed if this show has a season without stereotypes
I mean it’s not the first time Darren has had a show insulting bisexual people and it won’t be the last either.
Thanks to Darren Star and also many shows in the 2000s, I hate how shows like that (Sex and the City, The L Word, that one did have bisexual characters but they were often written as the stereotypes) often painted bisexual people in the worst light, either written as cheaters or sex-crazed. Bisexual people aren't any of those tropes at all, straight people can cheat and be sex-crazed.
Edit: Upon further reading, they also pulled the stereotype of polyamorous people being cheaters too, again, which is totally untrue.
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 is it really insulting? As if a scenario like that has never occurred? It’s not like the show said “haha why are all bi people like this”
@@SpiredRapidity I mean it's the classic bi cheating storyline.
@@SpiredRapiditywhen the only bisexual characters you see on TV are usually cheaters, it creates (and reinforces) the myth and stereotype that bisexual people are “more likely” to cheat because we are attracted to multiple genders. This is both insulting and hurtful and does real life damage!!!
As a french person I find absolutely ridiculous that the show tries to make it look like we think of McDonald's as a "luxury" or a "petit plaisir" A lot of us only eat it because it's cheap, most of the people I know are disgusted at the idea of eating there and if we want a treat like that we'll just go to a better fastfood.
so the McDonald's in France is basically the same as everywhere else in the word? and I thought you guys were living it up in the cultural capital of Europe :)
The way they show McDonald's as being a quirky romantic canteen had me 💀
It was so random. Clearly a paid partnership insert 🫠
As a German person it's just the same. Like ain't nobody eating at McDonald's because they want to. Either kids were pestering them or you currently don't have a better alternative and it's cheap. That's literally it. Nobody thinks it's good
@@ot7biasedmashups Over here in Czechia they sometimes have decent-ish seasonal menu with burgers that actually look and taste like they've seen meat at some point, but you can still find much better burgers in small bistros for the same goddamn price in basically any town big enough to have a McD's.
@@AliveIsAll_I_am Do you really believe all of Europe is luxurious and cultured?
I just watched a video they did for the s3 press tour where the cast played "Who's most likely to" and when the question was "Who's most like their character" everyone said Lily and I was like 💀 That's NOT a compliment. And then I couldn't unsee the similarities tbh 😭
Oh HELL NO💀💀
Lilly Collins was 100% willing to ruin Camille (the actrice) carrer to try to make herself look better (it dident work tough)
@@jeremybeau8334 really? how so, if you don’t mind me asking
@@jupitersecIipse Well, Emily in Paris is already a shity show, we all know that since its creation. However the character of Camille was liked by the public, specially since the character to be compared with was Emily. In season two they ruined the Camille character, instead of atempting to do a better Emily or making her grow up or more concious or watever. Since Camille is probable Camille most famous character, and now its just a horrible character, its clear that this will afect Camille profesional carrier, specially in a medium so superficial and artificial like the entertainment industry.
@@jeremybeau8334but that more on the writers than Lilly
There are two reasons Emily in Paris exist:
1. To be advertising
2. So we can get Friendly Space Ninja commentary on it. 😁
I think you confused the order. Friendly Space Ninja’s commentary is clearly the most important reason to keep making it.
The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
Very true. Though I prefer the second option.
Yeah I have literally never watched an Episode of it, but I've watched every friendly spae ninja video on it at least twice.
i will NEVER forgive netflix for canceling so many good shows just to produce trash shows like emily in paris lol
Like why did the Dark Crystal die for this? It’s not fair.
if 1899 died for emily in paris season 4 im going to lose my shit
Inside Job :(
@@insertcreativenamehere7584 You know it did. Inside job and 1899 were so fresh. If I didn’t use my parents account. I would’ve canceled my account with this years cuts.
One gets used to it after the many sacrifes for 13 reasons why
Honestly I hate the people who say “Yeah I’m a bad person but at least I know I am and I own it.”
Like WHAT! NO, knowing you’re a terrible person does not make being one ok. If anything it makes you worse cause you are aware of what you’re doing and are systematically choosing to avoid bettering yourself.
I think it's half and half though. Like if you're selfish and dishonest, yes, you should work on that. If you're just loud and bubbly in a way people find irritating? Maybe screw everyone else and just own that.
I agree. It's the same as with someone priding himself on being ignorant and refusing to learn.
1899 being cancelled is absolutely baffling
I hope the creators find a new space where to go on making shows far away from Netflix
czcams.com/video/sMk-HPBF6Mw/video.html
This was my reaction to the news, just replace Shocker with those damned Netflix suits
I WILL HUNT THEM TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTHHHHHHHH!!!!
1899's cancellation feels like a slap in the face, and is so, so undeserved.
The main ideas for the show were stolen from a small artist from Brazil. I’m glad it got cancelled.
It wasn't stolen, there are a couple of videos dismanteling this idea.
@@scorpioigor that plagiarism report actually was less than accurate. There are more similarities to the movie triangle than the black pyramid and time travel theme from that Brazilian comic. I do understand how that artist could make that mistake bx people glom on to others ideas but inspiration and plagiarism are fine line.
There is artist who wrote screen play for black Cabaret and was on phone with lionsgate and then they put a similar show on their Starz network called Pvalley about women at a small southern strip joint
I just laughed at "funemployment" routine, considering she lives in insanely expensive apartment in the middle of Paris, paid by american company, that decided to close the office in Paris. I was totally prepared to see her struggling to find a new apartment to rent (without having a visa and knowing the language and having a job), but no, it wasn't even a thing.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! My assumption was that her American company had fronted the cost of her apartment (which is why Mindy could move in and survive just by busking) and being unemployed was going to cause at LEAST an episode-long crisis for Emily (and by extension, Mindy).... NOPE! We get a montage of her hemorrhaging what remaining money she has live streaming around Paris.
@@stephaniea2932 they waisted narrative opportunity. They could have mine so many drama and comedy out of this situation. Why not make her jumping couches among her parisian friends? Maybe bunk with Kami and Gabriel for few days? Or trying to live in the office? Or maybe trying to move in with Alfie? Or maybe introduce her past (make her ask for loan from her parents, for example)? Or make her desperate to have her old job back and actively working for it, not just wait until it landed on her lap. Or, hell, why not make he think about changing career and becoming full time blogger? She lost her job and was about to be homeless in foreign country! What kind of writer does nothing with set up like this? I mean, c'mon!
Imagine if Emily was instead a working class woman of color from a developing country who has her family financially dependent on her.
@@CallMeXRVEN "What's that? Good writing? We don't do that here, fuck off"
- Darren Star, probably
Lol yeah I'm living abroad in Korea and my job recently closed down. It was weeks of panic and stress trying to sort out a new job, new apartment and new visa before I had a moment to relax!
i absolutely love that it took a literal divine intervention of absolute insane coincidences for him to finally do a season 3 video on “Emily in Paris”
nah he definitely would've done it anyway lol
when you put it that way 😂😂😂
and his mom telling him to do it
Honestly
Just like Emily solves any plot point
Oh! So when Emily does it she's just being "unapologetically herself" but when I do it I'm a "monster" and "under arrest"
The most ridiculous scene was when Emily was working a shift in the restaurant. And at the end of the shift she looked like fresh out of the salon and was not tired at all. No sweat nothing.
This show is so shity and lame that if the writers were enterely replaced with A.I. nobody wll notice the diference.
The whole premise of having an inexperienced person who doesn't fully understand French take food orders is ridiculous. Especially at what is supposed to be a high-class restaurant. I feel like most restaurant owners would rather op for closing the night instead of having a waiter stumble around making a fool of the restaurant and pose dangerous risks to food allergies. But god forbid these characters show any common sense 🙄
@@Valsharathe fact she messed up that guy's order and gave him an allergic reaction should have been a way bigger deal. Gabriel talking bout Michelin star, come on bro you're about to get fined and shut down for endangering customers.
If the seasons keep getting better, this show's going to be a masterpiece by season 70
It will be like when Star Trek fans tell you which shows and movies and reboots to watch and which to avoid and in which order. "If you watch episode X Y and Z of season 1, episode X and Y of Season 2 and the middle part of Season 3, you can just skip directly to the second half of Season 5 and watch from there!"
And then there'll be the Emily in Paris purists insisting you need to watch every single episode in order to really "get it".
Goodness me you're right.
Yup because probably by that season Emily dies
Or season 100 and by that time it will be cancelled(yes it is not even a debate or a discussion at this point).
@@alainojeda9100 I actually spit my drink out when I read your response it's so funny 😂
Maybe we know so little about Emily because her family doesn't miss her either lol
I mean, if she was my sister I wouldn’t miss her AT ALL 😂
Season 4 leak: "Emily's family care so little about her that they find out she's in Paris because of her Instagram."
🤣🤣🤣 I love that!
They talk about them briefly in Season 2. Emily ignores them!!! What if she’s embarrassed by them???
@@astrolatte_ ist that true?
As someone who‘s recently been unexpectedly unemployed, I can only assume that Emily‘s just supposed to be straight up rich. Like, „working is just my fun little hobby because I got nothing else to do with my boring life“ rich. Cause truth be told, I was in the very comfortable and privileged situation to have a bunch of savings in addition to unemployment money, plus parental safety-net. So I was more than able to sustain my lifestyle without actually having to worry for a good chunk of time. AND STILL I was SO WORRIED CONSTANTLY! I felt so guilty for every second that I didn‘t invest into getting a new job. Even when I managed to be chill about it, there was always this constant worry and guilt in the back of my mind. I don‘t even want to imagine what it must be like for people who actually really do have to worry about sustaining themselves…
So yeah, either Emily‘s character was just supposed to be „ignoring her problems“ as a character flaw/ setup for an arc (which it didn‘t seem like…) or she‘s just on another plane of financial existence altogether (u know, like rich people). Those are the only two reasonable in universe explanations. Otherwise I‘m going to have to assume that these show runners are full of shit.
I mean like friendly ninja said,we don't know much about her life back in america, for all we know she could be from a filthy rich family
Looking everything they have write and done (including their other shows) is safe to say they are full of shit.
You don’t need to Analize to mucho to know that the writters and creators are FULL OF SHIT. Specially Darren.
I think we are supposed to assume that she was making a tone of money in her marketing job, so her savings are kind of endless
Actually , I experienced that when you feel so anxious and worried about finding a job usually it doesnt help , it makes you actually decrease the possibilities of finding a good job. When you relax you can show yourself in a better way and find something better
Congratulations! And of course we need to talk about Emily’s outfits, they’re a secret reminder to everyone that they should stay as far away from Emily as possible like how you should stay away from neon Poison Dart Frogs.
Alexandra, you're a genius! 👏👏👏👏👏
It's very strange they can't flesh out Emily but can with Sylvie. Usually, a 50 year old power boss woman is the least fleshed out.
Maybe the writers are closer to her age than Emily's.
@@bbrbbr-on2gd Everything about this show basically has that "Hello, fellow kids!" vibe, from the writing to the costuming.
i wouldn’t be surprised if sylve’s actress had some part in writing her character
@@bbrbbr-on2gd That was a good point so I looked up the writers and you are right. Most of the writers are in their 30-50s. Unfortunately, that shows the writers are shit. With experience, you should be able to give your characters more substance not less. Especially the women writers. They should write being able to round out a main character that's a woman. Considering most women characters are 2 dimensional, it should be paramount for them to give her more substance. Good point though.
@@bbrbbr-on2gd THIS
Kinda laughable that the initial premise of the show was following this beautiful, white and american young woman navigate her way through romance, work and fashion in Paris, but the most interesting, compelling and best played character is a middle age french woman who runs a marketing firm ✨
“Unapologetically being yourself is not admirable if it means being a bad person” I NEEDED this thank you
The reality of living in a foreign city unemployed is terrifying. I've lived in barcelona a few years and have gone through several job changes, the periods in between were spent caffeinated and hunched over my laptop searching for work because i was too stressed to do anything else (don't even get me started on visas) and barcelona is MUCH cheaper than paris. but the reality of having so little money you're living off noodles and bananas isn't very romantic
I actually really started to like Alfie this season, he's clearly the better choice between him and Gabriel. On the other hand, maybe he deserves to be with someone less dramatic than Emily!
Emily did start to get better as a partner, if she'd manage to get away from all her drama (Gabriel and Camille's trainwreck of a relationship), she'd actually be okay for him
Although Allie is clearly the better choice she will of course end up with boring Gabriel because reasons.
He definitely deserves someone better!! Their breakup was so weird though, it completely takes you out of the show, because no dude would be like “go get your man!”
Emily clearly moved on with Alfie, so it’s annoying that everyone keeps pushing her with Gabriel.
@@taylorgayhart9497 I like to think that he got really embarrassed and totally humiliated and lashed out (including the hurtful "go be with him since you love each other so much"). So he'd apologize at the beginning of the next season. Camille just went on a tirade basically explaining that he was Emily's second choice and she's only with him because she couldn't get Gabriel -which logically we know was wrong but the show has already started to contradict itself so the pieces would be there to get her with Gabriel again.
It did feel out of character for Alfie because he knew their history, their relationship has been stronger than ever and Emily has actually prioritized him (a miracle considering it's Emily). He should be mad at Camille for humiliating them like that when they're friends (or at least he was) and then at Gabriel when he notices Camille was right. Hopefully they excuse it with a callback to his "every time I introduce someone to my parents, we break up" line/insecurity too because that guy isn't that irrational. It's also idiotic and out of character to not have Emily run after him. She's always been pushy and wouldn't let her bone go, she's been serious about Alfie, she's been shown to consider marriage!! In what world does she not focus on him and try to fix it (even if it means having a scene with Alfie being upset she won't let him have some time to cook down) instead of staying behind with the literal source of the problem!
The show straight-up strained its ankle with this entire 180° just to make Gabriel a potential candidate again (and to make him most likely endgame)
Any competent writer would have them quickly work it out and have it so that Emily stays far away from Gabriel along with finally shutting down Mindy's remarks about him. Emily gets so goddamn growth and starts caring more about others (starting with an apology to Julien for fucking him over so many times he quit his job). Also she realizes that whatever she had with Camille was childish and toxic so she attempts to clear it out (saying she has NO interest in Gabriel, she's sorry for having cheated with him before, she didn't appreciate being humiliated and have her relationship and love for Alfie be put down like that) and stay away from that trainwreck too.
Ducking Hell, just let Alfie be endgame and don't bring back the Camille&Gabriel bullshit from season 1 and 2
Even Queen Narcissist Carrie Bradshaw tried to learn French and struggled with the language difference. Carrie went through more struggles in 2 episodes than Emily did in THREE seasons.
LOUDER PLEASE!!
💥💯
"Struggle bc of the language barriers"
I'd like you to repeat your statement to all the refugees who came to Europe and had NO OTHER CHOICE than to assimilate themselves quickly into their new European environment. They practically trying to survive and somehow can speak the language FLUENTLY after 4 months.
Nearly every European can speak at least 3 languages and east European countries are speaking 4-6 languages easily. Me, I speak 5, French being one of them.
So how does Emily suck so bad and can't for the love of God even learn a second language?
Ok but stop screaming pls
Don't make generalities.
My girlfriend has been in France for 7 years and her french is horrendous. So bad that she almost went to jail because of a misunderstanding.
And after that, she had the nerve to tell me that her french is good ! She reads like a 6 year old -_-
Like, literally any baby would speak french faster than her. Yet she exists.
The fact that the only way they can make emily look better is by completely assasinating a character's personality in order to bring them down to emily's level is... interesting. They'll do anything for her to come out of a situation unharmed with no consequences or work to do whatsoever
And even that diden't work.
Having the protagonist focus on overcoming personal flaws would distract from the strategic brand placements. Viewers might actually have to engage their critical thinking, and then with that, realise it's all just a series of walking billboards.
Here’s an idea they could’ve used to expand Emily’s character in the show: Make her come from a toxic entitled rich family.
Think about it. Maybe Emily’s parents influenced her into being selfish and ignorant to everyone by spoiling her, but now that she’s in a foreign country and out of her element with a new job, her ideals and views on the world are challenged. This way the show could add some depth to her character and maybe even allow people to sympathize with her. Of course it wouldn’t excuse her horrible behavior, but it would make her more understandable to the audience and allow her to grow out of that toxic mentality. Maybe put her in therapy while you’re at it.
(Or just throw Emily on a deserted island and rename the show to Sylvie in Paris, that would work too.)
Hahahhaha , perfect ideas! Seriously, you should think the idea of becoming a writer
That would also explain her designer clothes, bags and shoes
Honesty a plane crash would make total sense for this show
I agree, very good ideas!! But at this point I think the shallowness of the show is intentional since it became viral basically because of it!
There are tons of ways to explain characters. Thing is, people do not know how to put it in practice while balancing all other aspects of having a show
I've just realized that all female main characters are in a love triangle:
Emily : Alfie and Gabriel
Mindy: Benoit and Nicholas
Camille: Gabriel and greek artist
Sylvie: ex-husband and Dutch guy
Brooo 💀💀
Edit: 69 likes ayy
They teach that in lazy writing 101. Cant write a good plot? Try Love triangle - they always work. From Gossip girl to Emily in Paris, they all use same formula
Wooooooow!!! Do these writers have no imagination?!?!
@@tushardighe6020
Oh, you've also watched Terrible Writing Advice's videos, too?
@the cool nice guy🎩 what??? 😭😭 do you mean it’s interesting how they usually use love triangles for women-based shows.. or??☠️
I feel like Emily is supposed to be a self insert for the viewers. Her lack of depth could be because the writers want the audience to project themselves onto her and live vicariously through her. It gives me the vibes of a reader fanfic that's been executed poorly; all the characters seem to be in love with Emily for some reason, and there are never negative consequences for any of her actions. "My biggest flaw is that I love too much and want to make everyone happy" is such Mary Sue trope
If I'm supposed to be Emily then I must be a terrible person LMAO
Omg Emily is literally the y/n insert in fanfic…
we aren’t racist excuse me
No one I watched the show with could even relate to emily, we all hated her ass and thought she was rude, obnoxious and annoying. None of us wanted to project into her, she has enough character to be not so inserty but also giant mary sue, characters are warping to suit her, characters are assassinated to make her look better.
But no one wants to be Emily she's the worst
There was a quick line, a throwaway line, in the scene where Emily is talking with the very important journalist lady where after realizing she is Australian the journalist implies that French people need an outside perspective on who the most influential people are. I don't know about you, but that kind of reeks of the Season 1 attitude that the French don't really know what they're doing, they need someone who speaks English to show them the right way to do things and I thought that was hilarious
Yeah but wasn't the context of that about having a global impact instead of just a local/national one?
Your analyses over the past few videos on this have convinced me that Emily in Paris is literally a transcription of someone's Sims playtime given story, but using cheat codes cause they're bored with things progressing normally. I will not be convinced otherwise lol.
I've only started watching the video, but I just had to say: I super respect your decision not to ask Lily for a selfie when she was clearly just enjoying a quiet day with her husband! This kind of thoughtfulness coming from a content creator sure is refreshing
I agree. I live in an area where there are lots of big name athletes and it bothers me when I see them just out enjoying their day with their families and people will swarm them for selfies and autographs. They have no shame or self-awareness about it. I get it, those athletes are famous, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve some peace with their families without you crashing in
Precisely, it was nice that Dylan simply let Lily have her moment, I'm sure that she wants a break from being hassled by fans for her autograph or a selfie.
I really like how you didn't ask Lily for a photo out of respect for her privacy, something a lot of people don't do or care about. Bravo!
Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing, very sweet of him and considerate.
It would’ve taken all my willpower to not bolt from my seat and beg for a photo together purely for the irony (even though he’s made it clear he hates the character, not the actress).
Yeah sure but If I see Christina Aguilera walk past me I will definitely take a selfie. Hello? Privacy? And not say hello to Christina fucking Aguilera? Gurl are you stupid?
@@BerryStraw15 This is exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah sure, I guess meeting Christina Aguilera would make your day, but imagine how frequent that happens to her or any other celebrity. It must be tiresome and annoying.
Well in France you don’t really do that anyway
If this show is fan fiction quality, I can't imagine what real Emily in Paris fan fiction is like. She's even more perfect?
It's probably better, at least in terms of story rather than writing quality. Fix fics are an entire category.
Honestly, comparing this show to fanfics is an insult to fanfics. Whilst there are some terrible fanfics out there, there are also some absolutely incredible fanfics too. Mary Sues, however, are always terrible.
I think that Sylvie is not only fleshed out but Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is also a way much better actress than Lily Collins is and that is just a fact, which also makes her a better main character! love your videos as usual
Emily's co-workers are the stars of the show. They're sooooo much more interesting.
Yeah, I don't think they necessarily wanted to villianize Camille but rather the idea of her. She is the embodiment of the chic French woman we read about and fawn over. The ideal, progressive, liberated woman that recieves after her a long line of both male and female admirers without trying too hard. It's a stereotype but a romantisized one whereas Emily is the obnoxious American. We basically see the assasination of Camille, which is the assasination of the idea of chic French woman in order to highlight Emily's American girl next door greatness. Camille's effortless fashion from season one turns awkward and ill-fitting in yhe following seasons. Her fluid view of sexuality becomes so fluid that she doesn't bat an eye when she is presented with a chance to cheat on her great lover. She becomes the femme fatale so drastically from a sweet, friendly girl. While the writers are more than willing to enforce stereotypes, they especially want to demean the stereotype of French women in order to make them less desirable and excuse me, more loose, whorish, disloyal than their American counterparts. All this to show that America is superior in their supply of ideas and women. This also happens with other French women portrayed in the show. Sylvie, who openly flaunts her open relationship and revels in being a mistress. Camille's mother who is more concerned about her son being a good lover rather than the fact that he as a minor had sex with an older woman. And a wife who finds Emily to be more mistress material for her husband and approves of it.
Damn good point
literally this show is so stereotypical, like the ukrainian girl who exists for one lesson to shoplift and frame emily for it???
- Me a French woman who only knows shit about this show thanks to friendly space ninja videos : « you say they are making us to be what now ???? »
But the American woman, aka Emily, also cheated?
@@toothless9081And yet the show still acts like she’s better than the everyone else.

Agreed, I look forward to Friendly Space Ninja's videos more than the actual show itself!
@@trinaq me too😅
I thought it was so funny when they created an entire character (Gigi) just to make the audience think Emily is a better match for Gabriel than Camille 😂😂😂
I like Emily in Paris because it reminds me a lot how I used to play with my Barbies back in my childhood. Everything fitting conveniently perfect even when something seems to go wrong. It's a perfect series to watch when you don't want to think, or don't want hard conflicts. Just chill and give a pause to your brain. It's cute.
This comment actually sums up the bad writing of the show really well :D They write like children playing with Barbie dolls, coming up with convenient nonsense on the spot and then never thinking about it again
Exactly! It seems to be written from a child's point of view of how an adult life looks like.
exactly. and the video and audio quality are so good, and there are lots of colours and cute stuff. it's just an enjoyable show to actually relax and not becoming too investing and paying attention to all the details.
exactlyyy I love this type of TV it reminds of of early 00s TV and with everything else on TV being so serious and so intense it’s so nice just to turn off brain and watch simple TV. that use to be the point of TV mindless entertainment
@@zogwort1522 You’re right but usually what Netflix pushes are their documentaries or based off real event esque series or it’s like they rebooted something. I just am surprised it’s lasting as long as it is and in comparison to their other originals it’s pretty much their most mindless tv show rn. and by early 00s I mean they had friends, king of queens, two and half men, everyone loves ray, the nanny etc etc like shows w only episode plots and a lot of that is a lost art nowadays
Never thought we’d make it to 3 seasons of a show that insulted an entire nation but here we are
It’s because it always trends number one that’s why 😩
Just one nation?
Don't forget about their depiction of Ukrainian women that pissed off that nation.
2 nations
Three, since they also have a Korean actress play a Chinese woman who constantly makes jokes about the Chinese (later shoehorning in a line that she’s part Korean to address this)
It would have been SUCH a good character arc to have her trying to win back her boyfriend throughout the season with romantic gestures and being a better person/partner. Have them still be friends and show up for each other during their times of need and whatnot, and that struggle of still loving him and being in his life etc. But they decided to just... make it happen the next episode...
Her being unemployed could have also contributed to that. She spent so much time in previous seasons hyping up the "city of love" as a special place where fairy tales happen.
In my dream season 3, she should actually do something romantic after having everything handed to her in previous seasons. Yet, her career or financial issues would likely block her, proving that life in Paris isn't particularly special. She should have to act (or choose a concrete decision rather than floundering between multiple) in order for any romantic relationship to have a happy ending rather than relying on her status as a lucky well-off American in Paris
Romantic gestures aren't really a sign of being a good match. The better person, more competent etc aproach is the only healthy get back together story. Like not even trying to win them back, just becoming better and the partner coming to offer another chance.
Most women can’t relate to that 😂
A main character people love isn't someone who isn't normally mixed, but one who is unique and has ways to be iconic. Sylvie would be a great main character over Emily.
I literally screamed when you said that you saw Lily Collins in Paris. Glad that you respected her and didn't approach, but god it would have been SO legendary if you got a selfie with her--
“These people are insane but it’s their problem not mine” is an absolutely ICONIC line
I am so freaking upset about Camille’s character assassination! I am convinced that the writers did that just because Emily was getting so much hate, something they didn’t expect, and wanted to shift it to someone else. I really think Camille is like this now to make Emily look better or more likable. There is no other reason for this. Camille had every right to be mad at Emily and Gabrielle in the beginning but now they are trying to turn her into the villain.
Edit: Also, Alphie deserves better than Emily. Emily and Gabrielle are both awful and if they end up together, they can just be the trash couple.
Funny thing: with Gabrielle being a weak-ass scumbag its kinda make sense that beautiful and strong woman is obsessing over him only beacause she's an overachiever and can't allow herself lose to another person even if prize isn't worth it. It could be an interesting take on a love triangle, but they compeletly blew it, becase IT MAKE SENSE FOR EMILY TO THAT AND NOT CAMILLE! Emily clearly is an overachiever, when she's put down in a French classes she says out loud that she was never put down in her enthire life and being a "loser" bothers her very much. It would be logical for her being possesive over a guy she doesn't need just for the sake of "winning". Camille had never being portrait as this type of person!
I agree that Alphie deserves better. Hell, make it fun by making Alphie get together with Gabriel and dumping both Camille and Emily! Camille can have her happy ending with her coworker, and Emily gets a wake up call that she needs to actually change and actually put effort into doing better!
I hope Emily is infertile so they don’t produce even worse offsprings. Imagine a child raised by them, absolute nightmare material
Also, this show makes me wonder where those two girls store all their volumpcious outfits in that tiny Studio appartment. 😂 I think even I would have trouble and I wear the same thing over and over again.
As a Parisian, I will start watching Emily in Paris when they feature the not so pretty areas of Paris like the 19th or 20th arrondissement
Emily in the banlieue
Oh man they really are treating Camille like Stephanie treated Jacob Black when she noticed people were liking him more, aren't they?
Watching that sequence about McDonald's while eating McDonald's is an absolute trip. I was NOT prepared to feel so uncomfortable while drinking my coffee.
Don't you mean your Mc coffee? That you took as "a little luxury"? (You're loving it) 😜
...Just typing that makes me feel dirty
I always thought French called McDonald's. Mcdou spelling guess bc i don't do remember my French s'appler . But I didn't realize until pointed out how much m' baguette was mentions Ii n this 301
What's worse about the whole Camille 180: it's to be inferred that she saw the way that Gabriel and Emily hugged on the balcony during the party, and she felt a certain way about it. But Gabriel literally walks up to Camille and her parents RIGHT AFTER THIS and EXPLAINS that his restaurant was getting a Michelin Star. They even celebrate this news with emphatic glee and they all bear hug...so conflict, immediate explanation and suspension of conflict, then marriage ceremony right after.
...and yet we're supposed to believe that Camille omitted this scene and decided to burn it all to the ground because she was, ultimately, competitive and jealous??
I know this is a tall order for this show, but I would've liked to see variations of love be explored here. Considering that Paris IS the city of love, it would be cool to see how love manifests for the characters. We definitely see versions of it, but it would be interesting to see how Emily moves away from Gabriel, a love that may have felt right but was ill-timed, and instead grows to understand what kind of love she needs. Is it a love found with another romantic partner? A tight-knit community? Her vocation? Or could it be the city of Paris itself?
I'm convinced that when they brought up Sartre to describe Emily's indecision, they were also speaking about the writers' indecision about Emily's identity. Who is she away from being connected to drama and serendipity? What truly connects her to Paris so much that she would essentially abandon her life in the States to stay there? I want to believe that this show CAN provide answers to these questions that don't simply come down to, "the power of love," or that women are always pitted against each other for a man's attention. But maybe that's a pipe-dream.
Gabriel seems what the Cheff in The Menu would become, because his stupid ambition and his will to sell his soul to every rich people so he make his restaurant sucessful.
Im statring to think that Emily's lack of backstory or character growth is for people that want to self insert in this idea of Paris, but her personality makes her just so hard to do so.
Isn't inability to choose between two options a weird traits to write for a character who's journey started with her choosing to uproot her life and move to Paris? Making impulsive often very bad choices and stubbornly sticking by them would fit her much better...
Ikr? It's like they're trying to stick Emily in this vicious loop of indecisiveness to manufacture drama.
I think that could work if it was established before she moved, and then the moving being this big impulsive act to try and get over her anxiety with decisions, but since people don't get better overnight after the moving she is just constantly worried about her decision, so her character arc would be about balancing planning without overthinking or being impulsive. In the end she could come to the conclusion that even if things didn't actually work out the way she intended shes is still glad for this experience she had the chance to live, so planning before doing something is good but not if you end up stuck and not choosing anything
I don’t know, she could be Bipolar? I’m naturally an indecisive person who weighs two options for way too long. But I’m also Bipolar and have made massive random life decisions out of the blue, including moving to another country when I didn’t speak the language. 😂 That’s my head cannon for Emily anyway.
the horror movie editing with Cami and her affair had me *cackling*. that fit way too well.
It's Camille 😄
The scene was literally feeling like AS tbh😭
My reaction was: 😐😬😱
Holy crap you got engaged??? Congratulations, that's so exciting! Super happy for you!
Also I want to add, the show has the foundations to actually become really good. They could utilise how Gabrielle is a shell of a person and they could highlight how a lot of his traits are actually symptematic of depression and they could show how despite how amazing he is doing at his job he is miserable and doesn't understand why etc. They have Camille who is from a privileged background and they could use the whole same-sex story line to highlight generational issues with the LGBT community. They could use Sylvie as the ultimate feminist icon where she fumbles a bit but ends up with her own amazing business, an amazing marriage etc while also bringing up the sexual assault and how she got through it. They could focus on Julien having his ideas stolen by Emily constantly and highlight how historically people of colour have been overlooked and had ideas taken etc. The foundations are there for this to actually be really hard hitting, even if they just picked one or two things to really zone in on!
Oh fuck I really hope they do that with Gabriel ! ! That would explain EVERYTHING about him…And fucking finally Lucas bravo ( Gabriel) a chance to fully use his talent and his sad, pretty, puppy eyes. I hope they do that .
Also the show isn’t ready for actual meaningful feminism and Sylvia in general
As a French person, I painfully watched half of the first season. But when I saw in the news that season 3 was released, I was only waiting for that channel review.
a french!
Same. I don't live in Paris, but still so painful! The only good side to this show is... the friendly space ninja reviews of it! :D
a french "person" (/j)
I managed one episode and I am German. XD
I'm Spanish, and as you know, our relationship with the French is... complex. But even I found this show offensive.
Am I the only person that thinks Cami lied to Gabriel about being pregnant just to lock him down? I think that’s the next level villainization of her in Season 4. 90% sure that’s what the convo with her mom at the wedding is supposed to imply.
What's funny is that France has a more laissez-faire attitude to unmarried couples with children, and even social services support these families because children need care regardless of the adult relationships that made them. And aiding single / unwed parents financially similar to married couples helps the children.
And men don't have to marry baby mamas. They can still be involved with the kids life and be recognized as the kid's father but they don't need to be married to be recognized as the father and by extension have rights to raise the kid.
That said, France does have a slight problem with parents who are blocked out of their kid's lives kidnapping their kids... (but a parent who does this is probably why they were blocked in the first place).
I just thought, that after 3 seasons end, we are done with the set up. Emily and Gabriel can try to have a real relationship and Camille isn't dissappearing anywhere, because of the baby. So now, can the story begin.
I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen this way, but that's how I felt when I watched it.
I think she's really pregnant. On the first episode, she sorta mentions how she and Gabriel are having lots of sex
@@adrianpillai6645 exactly, I was very confused as to why they suddenly had to tie the knot because I actually know quite a few people who are together and have a family but aren’t married. On the forms they even put “concubinage” as an option when applying for social aids etc…so it just makes no sense. If your partner isn’t a citizen then yeah I would also get married because La Prefecture, you want to deal with them as little as possible.🙃
People who don't want to disappoint others around them is a problem a lot of people have to deal with BUT what Emily is doing is not that. Dating two people at once WILL hurt and disappoint people. People who struggle with pleasing everyone around them try their best to avoid being in a situation that will guaranty hurt people. Emily is doing that because she's selfish and she refuses to see herself as a "bad" person, so she excuses her behavior by claiming she doesn't want to disappoint people.
what change i did enjoy was how when it's just the french characters in a scene, they communicate in french and even correspond online in text! i appreciated that the producers/writers took the feedback of there not being enough french when the show is set in a french city with french characters consisting more than half of the cast
Without a visa?
I can't wait for season 4 - Emily in a foreigner detention center. Because yes, those exist in France pending your deportation.
You're spot on about the advertising. I had spotted that in the first season. The designer clothes, the Paris venues, and I even saw the McDonald's ad here in Paris and I figured they were the sponsor for this season. The other seasons I think it was more of an ad for Instagram as a whole. The number of times Instagram is mentioned in season 1, as well as the brands you mentioned. It's really the brands that carry the plot and the writers just work around it.
Emily in jail for sleeping with a minor.
Season 4, Darren will romanticize being homless…
I feel like you could turn it around with a twist that the reason her life is like this is because she made a pact with Satan. In season 4, the devil returns to collect: Emily in Hell.
Then he sends her back after one season because she was more torture than he could handle.
@@hiddenechoes These 2 comments made more sense than 3 seasons of her decisions.
@@hiddenechoes then she gives a homeless persona a dollar and gets sent to heaven
And of course she doesn’t want to learn Hell’s language and she has better ideas for collecting souls than Satan himself, but for some reason he comes to like her even though the other demons want to strangle her…and so it goes. Emily’s reign of ignorant terror continues forever.
YES! Sylvie's spin-off was the first thing I said once I finished watching this season! I would be a reward for us sticking up with observing Emily's bs so long
Fun fact. When I watched the third season, I noticed that it ended too soon. I checked and realized that Netflix started showing me the season from episode 4 (no idea why). That is to say, the episodes are so unimportant that you can miss almost half of the season, and you lose nothing 😅
28:40 I didn't watch the full scene, but this small part really hits. I really appreciate the small but strong detail that he refers to her using the informal "you" as a way to bring them closer together in a familiar way as he smiles to her, but she retorts with the formal "you" when she reminds him of the SA to put well-needed emotional distance between them. I'm glad they let someone who actually understands French subtleties handle the French dialogue.
That’s so cool. Thanks for pointing that out!
It also kind of plays into their former power dynamic, as he was in a position of authority in her youth, so he would have used informal language, and she would have been obligated to address him formally
God I hope that wasn’t a mistake
Ah yes, I've been anxiously waiting for this. I kinda wanted know how much of a sh*tshow this season was, but not enough to put myself through actually watching it. Thanks space ninja, for falling on that sword for us.
Indeed, the Ninja puts himself through this dreck so that we don't have to! I honestly look forward to his videos more than the actual show!
I like how you mentioned that the writers try to portray Emily as a people pleaser, because oh no she’s scared that people will be mad at her if she does something wrong, boohoo :c
Yet she still sleeps with Gabriel behind Camille’s back 💀💀💀💀
Can't wait for Season 4 where Emily's dad the Dark lord of the underworld comes to visit the Marketing firm ,
and proceeds to reap the souls of the innocent all in the style of a 90's sitcom~~
One thing that I always wondered about Emily was "what is her situation with her family?". I might be forgetting something from the earlier seasons, but I think she rarely speaks about them. Why don't we ever see her talking to her parents or something? Why nobody visits her in Paris? It's kinda weird.
But, overall, season 3 is definitely the best season so far!
My theory is that she murdered everyone she knew in the US and she's now living under a new identity.
She's pretending she didn't nepotise her way into an advertising career the way Lily Collins pretends she's a real actress 😉
@@nineteenfortyeight6762 💀
@@nineteenfortyeight6762 you spilled🤭
I didn't saw the show but from what some friends of mine say and I will quote "looks like she didn't have a life until she came to Paris" and I'm realizing that they are right
It’s actual MADNESS that every time Emily in Paris releases a new season it’s always trending at no 1. on Netflix in my country like don’t y’all have taste??
Never underestimate the levels of shallowness, my friend. As soon, as you think "people can't really be that shallow" about X Y or Z, trust me they are n this show is a great reminder of just that.
There's no way to check if it's actually no 1. Don't trust netflix.
Lot of people hate watch it
I literally watch it to laugh at absurdity of it all
People just have different taste than you...
That is why the character works at PR agency: so they can keep having conversations about brands and pretend it's dialogue.
Uuuugh 🤮
I literally watched the third season just so I could watch your video & truly appreciate your in-depth analysis. And oh boy did you exceed my expectations once more. The fact that this whole series is just a gigantic ad is so spot on. Wow, great job!
My yearly recap of that one show I didnt watch, finally!
Mine too, I've never watched a minute of this show, but Dylan has caught me up!
@@trinaq this show has basically become the new Riverdale, as in somehow super popular and constantly getting renewed but everyone only watches it through youtubers because it's too dumb for our own brains to process without getting fried
Same here. Never seen this show and never will, but I will gladly watch FSN review it.
I very much thought your opening about seeing Lily Collins in Paris was gonna be a joke. Because in the show they make Paris seem like a tiny village, just running into each other randomly. What are the chances?!
To be honest, that happens in the biggest cities. People tend to frequent the same places, so bumping into one another happens.
I used to live in Shanghai and I would bump into people I knew all the time. Randomly!
Paris is huge but just like any other city it has places where everyone goes.
In New York I run into people I know all over the city. But it's still more like 1% of my encounters and 1% of the people I know.
Paris is in fact a relatively small town.
I live in paris and honestly we bump into people all the time it’s insane
As a girlie who loves Paris and works in advertising, it's absolutely my favorite escapism show, I barely listen to the dialogue and just look at the pretty clothes and scenery and imagine myself doing all my ad work in Paris instead. 10/10 if you watch it for daydreaming, just ignore all the writing lmao
Congratulations on the engagement! All the best to you both ❤
Fascinating vid. Your observation about the advertising sounds spot on - and the controversy will really work to get people in when the storyline is far too flimsy to do it.
Though your pointing out the total absence of a past for Emily raises some entertaining ideas. Like, maybe she's actually a Hogwarts graduate who was an utter star at brewing Felix Felicitas (or whatever it was called) the Luck potion. And she's just roleplaying the Muggle dream life before returning to the magical world to do some proper work. :D
The "Emily sucks at her job" thing it's really pretty telling of what they think the demographic targeted is like: people that don't really work if not the bare minimum and rely on luck to be in the position they are in.
Which, I guess, isn't even that strange considering how a lot of business people don't know shit to begin with, they mostly happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right connections.
Nepotist babies, just like Lilly Colins.
You mean like the writers of this show? 😅
My favourite part about the show is the complete lack of follow-through. There are sooooo many moments where Emily gets told off, or they hint at something like sex on the Ferris wheel, but then it never leads anywhere! When Emily gets told off at the McLaren thing for suggesting a brain-dead idea it never amounts to anything. And when she makes fuck on the Ferris wheel you assume it might lead to a funny moment (maybe they get caught and it turns out the whole thing was a joke at her expense? Idk?) but NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. I WATCHED THIS OVER CHRISTMAS WITH MY MOM AND SHE LOVES IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHY IS THIS WHAT WINE DOES TO A MFER AAAAA
Also , did Sylvie and Dutch guy break up or not??
I've never watched this show, Pretty Little Liars or Riverdale, but I get so much fun from you reviewing them, that I'm starting to fear I'm a sadist.
Ironically, Friendly Space Ninja is probably the best advertiser for this show 😂
Oh god. Those McDonald's clips you showed off felt like a 50min compilation of CZcams Sponsor reads rolled into one! All they had to do was drop a discount code in the description, and they're set! 😆 Not suprised Emily in Paris is just a massive money making scheme for Netflix. When the money talks, they're listening.
If that gives them extra $$ to develop other shows, I'm all for it, everyone needs a cash cow x) But I wish they wouldn't cancel actually good shows on the side :/
You’d break the Internet if you took a picture with Lily Collins. We’re still waiting 😂
Congratulations on your engagement!
I love slice-of-life stuff so I actually do enjoy this show despite no-one really growing or changing & didn't find Emily nearly as obnoxious in this season as she was in 1 and 2 like I think she's acclimating a little bit.
I also struggle with making hard decisions and I appreciate your criticism to Emily because it's a good wake-up call for myself as well, so thank you for posting this, random internet person who makes cool videos! :D
"Unapologetically being yourself is not admirable if it means being a bad person." I love that. I feel like a lot more people (characters and real people) need to understand that as well. Although maybe Lily was referring to Emily unapologetically wearing bizarre outfits? That's usually the kind of shallow fluff "unapologetically yourself" seems to mean on the soc medes.
Honestly I'm glad Julien finally decided enough was enough but I wish they'd gone further with that this season. Instead we get a cliffhanger at the end of the series -_-
In the first episode I think they had everyone in the room speaking French and I thought, "Wow that's an improvement," but then they... dropped that... for some reason....
Sylvie is a great character and I'm glad they gave her more screentime this season. (Fun fact: I'm learning High Valyrian on Duolingo and "Sylvie" is the word for "Wise".)
I love the Mindy Musical Numbers! I'd actually love a Mindy spinoff that's just a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend style musical.
I feel like in a meta sense, Gigi hating Camille but LOVING Emily is the writers going "wink wink nudge nudge, Emily and Gabriel are better than Camille and Gabriel!"
Just realised we even know more about MINDY than we do about Emily.
Also I want to know how the hell Emily could afford to be "fun-employed". How much does she earn and how much of that paycheck goes to her insane wardrobe? Did she put anything in savings? Was she living off that? What was she going to do when her money ran out?
Yes, it improved to mediocre! Huzzah!
The more I listen to this, the more I wonder if someone just fed details about her into an AI and asked it to write a script based on what was the best way to get her from one point to another.
I find it curious that people are always saying "Gabriel is so boring and dumb, Emily should be with Alfie!" or some variation of that.
Like... Emily is no less boring or annoying or awful. How does *she* deserve better?!
personally it's just that i'd prefer to watch one annoying person on screen than two annoying people on screen at the same time
People use her as self-insert so what they mean is "I deserve a better fictional bf"
I hate Alfie
I truly wouldn't mind some of Emily's wins if it came from her taking initiative. Like maybe instead of getting a random phone call from her ex, she finds out about his new job from LinkedIn and sees a post about the McDonald's thing there and calls HIM. That way, when she already had the solution for Sylvie's problem, it was because of her own prior doing, instead of things randomly falling into her lap.
They could have made the scene as “Emily reflecting on what she left behind, being curious about what her ex is up to, finding out he works for McD and the idea hits her” - I mean is not great but at least it gives 0.1 depth to Emily’s background and make her a tiny bit proactive 😅
The more I listen to FSN, the more Emily in Paris seems to be written according to every single Terrible Writing Advice.
Also, 39:08 I sighed *so hard*
Watching all of these back to back hearing him say "I won't watch anymore" and seconds later clicking on a new video about the next season
What is insulting is that the French are famous and proud for their cuisine, and a show set in Paris ends up being about McDonald's, the epitome of American fast food culture.
The French aren't a monolith, many of us do eat fast food on the regular lol
I mean McDonald's is a multinational corporation, they have a french marketing company irl. It's not crazy to have that as a plotline
The fact the turned Camille into an asshole this season just drives me crazy, the treatment of her character was so poor, I feel so bad for the actress. Btw I said this on your instagram but congrats on the engagement 💜
