“The French version of this show may give the impression that Emily speaks our language well. Trust us, this is not the case.”

At least there’s some self awareness there

When Netflix flashes little descriptive hints about what a show is about, I've never seen it more off than listing Emily in Paris as "campy."

Hahaha, talk about damage control.

Her outfits are campu

Knowingly though? Before the public reacted to the show as they had?

Doubtful.

I guarantee you the makers and costume designer thought Emily’s outfits were A+ top tier true to modern younger ppl style until people on social media started ragging on her outfits. The character is as obnoxious as her outfits and I’m believe that was absolutely unintended, but now in the name of damage control they can claim it was intended.

Every time I think of Emily in Paris (which is a terrible show that I love watching), I think about an interview I heard with Lauren Lapkus who spoke about auditioning for the role of Emily. That would have been a very different direction for the show, but I think I would have enjoyed it more.

Lauren Lapkus as Emily would be HILARIOUS!

i like how mad people get about this show being very popular

I thought I was going to hate this show and that it looked stupid until everyone kept saying it was good so I watched…. Not only do I LOVE it but I’m really feeling lost after finishing season 3 and not having anything worthy to follow with!

bahahahaahahahah

There’s a French version?

It has dubbing in french

Same. I couldn't find a good followup so I'm just doing another rewatch of Gilmore

If you haven’t already watched it, Derry Girls is a perfect follow-up - especially if you loved Gilmore Girls!

This would make an excellent SNL skit if she ever has the opportunity to host

Love this show. I don’t take it too seriously and enjoy it for what it is. I find it very entertaining

You could check out a Younger, it's from the same creator. I really enjoyed the first couple seasons although it went downhill after. Still good background trash tv though, in the same kind of fun way.

I don’t think the creators of this show thought they were making prestige drama.

I never would have watched it if my wife didnt start it, but I enjoy watching it with her. It's a bunch of extremely good looking people (particularly the men, Gabriel and Alfie are preposterously handsome) in beautiful places, doing low pretty low stakes stuff and is generally fun and entertaining. I'm not giving it any awards but it's fun to watch.

My only issue with the show is that at this level of light comedy I want to be able to enjoy it without paying strict attention to it, and with so much subtitled I can’t.

Why are people mad about it ootl

French classes finally paid off for me for this reason haha

If you haven’t already give Ted Lasso a chance. It’s kinda like a guy version of Emily in Paris.

Because it’s a tv show that isn’t aimed at males in their 20’s-30’s, which is a cardinal sin here at r/television

I think they definitely meant her to be obnoxious, but they miscalculated the part where her ineptitude was supposed to make her “endearing”

That seems to be a problem in many subs actually lol

The short version is that Emily goes to Paris and makes a lot of mistakes ... But then magically manages to fix them all in unrealistic ways and come out on top.

It's massive plot armor.

What makes it worse is that she's an American in France who doesn't speak French. This gives the impression that Americans are these magical people who can always come out on top eveb without speaking the local language (and conversely that the French are useless and old fashioned and backwards and can't fix anything themselves.)
