Emily in Paris
Since we can't travel to Paris, we'll live vicariously through Emily Cooper.
Emily in Paris is a 10 episode Netflix series about an American marketing executive who moves to Paris for the ultimate dream job, managing the social media of a luxury brand. Written by Darren Star of Sex and The City fame it definitely was over the top, especially the clothes. Naturally Star called upon SATC alum Patricia Field as costume designer. The clothes were a bit juvenile and lacked sophistication, but alas it was entertaining. I binged it in two days and I am hoping for a second season.
I know the critics made fun of it, but honestly right now I think we could all use some lighthearted entertainment. Wouldn't you agree?
