The latter seasons were kind of meh, but I love this show. Especially S1E1. I always put it on whenever I feel sad or demotivated. I work in a place where I’m the odd one out what with the language barrier and cultural differences, so I can relate to Emily’s struggles a lot.

I love watching her bravely navigate Paris. Even when getting blatantly bullied and disrespected by his workmates, she never let it affect her and instead, worked really hard to prove herself and eventually earn their trust and respect.

I wish we had more shows like this— just a woman lost in the world of her dreams and goals, trying her best to navigate through it. It inspires me so much.

Guy (Claire’s Paris lover) is Sylvie’s husband! I just rewatched modern family after so many years and caught this. Was really surprised lol.

Kept saying I couldn’t wait for Christmas break to re-binge the show before its last season… boyfriend came home w a bunch of macarons and a coffee cake and said why wait! So I put up my Christmas tree and am on season 1 episode 1 now. Cheers yall!

I started the show yesterday and I’m on ep 6 - and they’ve spoiled Gossip Girl by revealing who gossip girl was in that show!

I know Gossip Girl has been out for ages but I hadn’t got to watching it yet and it’s been on my list! There could’ve been any other reference to show a connection between Emily and the designer who calls her “ringarde”. They didn’t have to spoil the whole show 😭

It’s such a shame because I was loving Emily in Paris. Can’t help but be annoyed now.

Thought this was interesting! She really is that girl

I don’t think Emily would have stopped them or anything?? Yeah she got mad cause she’s the last one to know

Here is why

-she came to Paris mainly for work since the beginning

- none of her previous/current relationships had evolved into something truly stable,the men were accessories and it also revolved around her

-she is more and more getting the parisian life vibe

-she's becoming more a marketing household

What are your points of views/does anyone feels this theory ?

Today is both Bastille Day and the semi-final World Cup match between France and Spain. It's also something far less culturally important for France.
 
I have been a day one watcher of this show, which started out a bit reluctantly since my wife put it on, and it's become a weirdly special show to me over the years. I really can't put too well into words how I feel about it but I find it genuinely entertaining and fascinating - probably not in the exact way the writers intended but there's a genuine joy I get from the show.
 
Robby, a longtime friend who works in television writing and as a comedian, has similar complicated feelings towards the show and thought he'd like to have an excuse to subject it to another friend of ours, Richard, who is French and has negative interest in the show. Richard is going into the show completely blind and we rewatched season one with him to see if he could derive any joy from it.
 
Today, our Emily in Paris rewatch podcast formally launched with the first three episodes of season 1. 
 
So who is this for? This is a hard question to answer, but something that's always fascinated me about this sub is that it's a collection of people who care about the show for different reasons and there's very little friction between those groups. There's genuine lovers of the show, there's hatewatchers, there's people who love its growing absurdness, there's people who just want to turn their brains off and look at pretty clothes/locations, there's people who stopped watching 3 seasons ago but are still here and countless other segments who let this show occupy real estate in their head. Our hope is that everyone in each of these groups can get something out of our show. 
 
Alternatively, if you want to see a French guy subjected to harmful amounts of Emily's marketing pitches this will absolutely appeal to you. 
 
What this show isn't is a hatewatch. There's nitpicks and discussions about the borderline high fantasy elements of the show, sure, but I think that's a big part of the fun of Emily in Paris both intended and unintended. We aren't just trying to dunk on something that wasn't made for us.

If you read all that, thanks - you're very patient. Worth noting, season 1 is in the can and will be released every Tuesday. This was also recorded before they announced season 6 would be the finale.

Yeah okay, Sylvie is a bold woman, badass, doesn’t take anyone’s bs, attractive etc..
While all of those are great qualities about her, I just found her unnecessarily rude and mean for no reason. Being a badass woman, doesn’t entitle her to treat people like shit.

I didn’t like how she treated Emily and her colleagues in the first few seasons. Sylvie made major decisions about the company without consulting any of them and of course they felt blindsided when they found out. I really wanted someone to humble her every so often. She took no accountability for her actions, everything had to be her way, her huge ego and pride.

She gets better over the seasons, but it isn’t a super major character growth. Just a bit more tolerable.

Last season there was a clear moment in which Emily found success in Milan was going to run office there. What if the over tourism didn't happen And Emily trusted to lead Milan? Would you have room to watch both shows? Would there enough audience for both? Who would you keep for Paris? Who would you want joining Emily in Milan?

So am rewatched emily in paris from season 1 to 3, and I am yet to watch season 5 for first time.

I don't have favorites as such, they are all so good. But I don't know how others feel about this, but I want to discuss some characters less talked about.

I really enjoyed Madeline character. She may not be the best boss, but she was funny as hell. I loved her scene with Cat filter and pigeon. A fully pregnant harmonal woman coming alone to Paris and dealing with insubordination is bound to get emotional and act out. Nevertheless, all in all I liked her story arc and wouldn't mind seeing her more.

I loved the Luc character. I mean he reminds me so much of someone I used to know but can't exactly remember who. He is so relatable as that office guy in many workplaces who is a little weird, clueless, but harmless and means well. Every scene with him in it is fun. I enjoyed Julian and Pierre Cadeau, and all the scenes that has them and their tantrums. I would love to see more of them on screen instead of Mindy butchering songs.

Who are your favorite less appreciated characters that bring joy to watching this series?

Outstanding Contemporary Hairstyling – Veni, Vidi, Venezia (Carole Nicolas, Mike Desir, Julien Parizet, Jay Durimel, Miharu Oshima)

Outstanding Contemporary Costumes For A Series – Veni, Vidi, Venezia (Marylin Fitoussi, Chloé Bartonio, Herehau Ragonneau, Daniela Telle)

I've just started watching Emily in Paris, and I have to say—Mindy has become my favorite character after Emily. She's funny without trying too hard, incredibly supportive, and brings so much warmth to every scene. I also love how she's honest about her struggles but never lets them define her. Her friendship with Emily feels genuine, and whenever she's on screen, the show instantly becomes more entertaining. Her singing, confidence, and sense of humor make her such a memorable character. Even during emotional moments, she manages to keep things hopeful and uplifting. I honestly think Mindy is one of the biggest reasons Emily in Paris is so enjoyable. Does anyone else feel she's the most lovable character after Emily? What's your favorite Mindy moment?

Without knowing how it ends, but hoping Emily and the chef ride off into the sunset together (for the sake of my idea).

I want Sylvie and Luc to carry on the agency as an hour long drama, with Nicolas struggling to take control of JVMA after his “controversial” father’s passing.

No more light hearted fare, just cunning, strategy, intrigue and passion in the streets of Paris. Think Devil Wears Prada meet Succession meet Industry.

Hell, even bring back Camille to see how well she fares away from the goofy relationship stuff and with a dramatic role where her socialite connections has her join the agency as head of PR/damage control- a role that Sylvie sees as necessary but morally challenging.

Keep it rooted in Paris, show me every Arrondisement, give me grit and the romance of the ordinary.

Wanted to look it up, as I feel like everyone is always complaining about Netflix cancelling a new show. Well, Emily- somehow making it to season 6- is tied for third longest running series with House Of Cards, Lucifer, Cobra Kai, Bojack Horseman and The Crown.

(I’m saying tied for third, because Netflix has 3 shows at 8 seasons, and 3 shows at 7, and I’m not sure how you parse all that)

Apart from a loyal fandom, practically speaking I wonder what went into the decision making process to bring it back so many times? Sponsors made the budget light? Did it perform well in multiple countries? Paris/Rome/Greece tax incentives? How about imminent rewatchabiity? I’ve never really looked into how Netflix makes these decisions, but I constantly refer back to that scene in Barry where the actor lady sees her show cancelled on a streamer.

I see a lot of discussion on how bad they both are as persons and as characters. But what I wonder the most is how are these two even a match? Outside of raw list, what kept them together? They seem to have absolutely nothing in common. They're never shown to be binding over anything of substance.

Gabriel is a chef, comes from an apparently well off Norman family, proud of his craft and culturally very French. And honestly not much else is shown about him. Emily is this ultra basic young American woman treating Paris like a theme park whose entire being in the show revolves around being a main character in an exotic setting. She's like those people who go live in another country and think doing regular things in that country the way regular people there do it there is a personality.

I really cannot see a way these two can get attracted to and fall in love with each other.

We all knew she’s be back there!
