If you're in the mood for a breezy romantic comedy, Emily in Paris is perfect. The series follows a young marketing executive from Chicago, Emily Cooper, as she is sent to spend a year in Paris helping the long established firm Savoir learn to do things the American way.
Emily is irrepressible. She isn't well received in the offices of Savoir. It's partly because they hate that they've been bought out, and partly because Emily and her ideas go counter to the way business has been done.
Even in the face of a hostile boss and co-workers Emily remains cheerful, and finds ways to make her ideas work. It's all pure comedy, so there as many disasters as there are successes.
Outside of the office, Emily manages to make friends and find lovers aplenty.
Her personal fashion choices are fantastic, and not a soul could wear them but her. They're such fun.
The series is a light, airy celebration of Paris, love, friendship, and good food.
There are currently two seasons available, with a third and fourth season just ordered.
I really liked this show, too. I've read a lot of bad reviews, but it does what it means to do--light entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI've read those same reviews, I think. They're a little over the top, as if the show ruined their life. I think it's just charming, pretty, silly escapism. Who expects something world changing from romantic comedies?
DeleteSo, will she go and work with Sylvie now that Gabriel has Camille living with him? I really love the Savoir gang, so I hope she goes to work there.
