Emily in Paris returned this week with a ten episode season five. It took place largely in Rome and it's surrounding countryside, then came back to Paris.
I'm writing this in my Fallout T-shirt and sweats, so we know the fashions offered in the show were never something I'd aspire to. It has always been fun to see the confections though. Most of the offering in Rome were extremely intense patterned pant suits. Those were the things that caught my eye.
Emily has a promising new job running the Rome office of Agence Grateau, but soon Sylvie and Julien and Luc are there too, and she isn't the boss after all.
Emily's romance with Marcello which was fun to watch. They made a good couple in so many ways. If he had been able to stay in Paris, it may have worked for them.
Everything falls apart in Rome and the show is back in Paris for the last three episodes. Despite all of the good things in the Rome episodes, it seemed everyone was treading water a bit, and going in circles. I kept hoping I was on the last episode, and that's never happened before.
Once back in Paris, Emily came alive, and so did the show. I've mixed feelings about the season, but will be right there if there's a season six.
