    wasted potential

    This was advertised as Sex and the City (in Paris), but it is nothing of the sort. Lily Collins is a great actor, but her character is basic white girl caricature. Everyone is a caricature. French people are mean and smoke too much. You will just meet your new best friend on a park bench. Every man is hot and going to hit on you. The show was so cringy I couldn't believe what I was watching. It felt like a CW show with a larger budget, then I found out the show was originally set to premiere on MTV. With the toned down language and idealized view of the world, this show is probably great for tween girls who want to put themselves in Emily shoes. This is no Sex and the City.

    What is the Emily in Paris controversy?

    When the first season was released, it was criticised, particularly in France, for promoting stereotypical images of the city and its residents. It portrays the French as rude people who wear berets and frequently cheat on their partners.

    Does Lily Collins actually speak French?

    According to Distractify, she does know how to speak the language. Collins not only learned French as a child, but her home life also gave her plenty of opportunities to practice it. “I grew up speaking French in school,” Collins explained.
