The plot lurches from melodrama to high farce, it’s frequently baffling and the supposedly luxury marketing could have come from a task on The Apprentice. But – whisper it – it’s really fun …
‘Hypnotically garish’ … Lily Collins as Emily in Paris.. I watched the first season and thought it was soulless, vapid, insufferable fluff. Yet within days, a lot of people I knew were watching it. They mostly seemed to agree that it was vapid fluff, but were happy to suffer through season one, and later season two. I did not feel so out of step again until I enjoyed the first two episodes of. I asked a friend if Emily in Paris is still dreadful. “Yes,” he said. “And it’s heaven.
To prepare for season three, and in the interests of journalism, I watched season two, somewhat reluctantly. I had loathed the selfish and entitled Emily , and found its forced zaniness to be grating. Perhaps it was the lowered expectations, or perhaps the need for light relief has only grown since 2020, but I didn’t hate it quite as much as I had before. It seemed to have become more self-aware.
Emily returns for a third season with her world in chaos. The French staff have exited the marketing firm Savoir to set up on their own, and American boss Madeline is attempting to pick her way through the cultural confusions of the French luxury market. Luckily, she has Emily at her side, though in a twist everyone saw coming, Emily is simultaneously trying to work for the French firm and for Madeline, who is heavily pregnant, at Savoir.
But if everyone wants Emily, what does Emily want? Now that she can speak a little French, she wants to stay in Paris, rather than moving back to Chicago as planned. The first few episodes spend a lot of time attempting to put the pieces back together after breaking everything in season two, right down to the location of the offices and who her boss is going to be.
As she is a magnet for any man in Paris who looks as if he has been pulled off the set of an underwear shoot for a mid-range catalogue, Emily’s personal life is also going swimmingly. She has a boyfriend called Alfie, in possession of the most immaculate facial hair the world has ever seen, and who is so charming and rogueish that he calls her by her surname, the scamp.
