Emily in Paris - Season 1

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, only to find out in the opening episode that the series was primarily intended for women, preferably big on social networking, who don’t mind the occasional romantic (or even ordinary) cliché. The last time I checked I was still male, I have a negative attitude towards social media and I’m sick of melodrama, so I quickly realized that I wasn’t exactly the target audience. Despite all that (and it might be slightly overstated), I give it four stars, because mom and dad can be real proud of their "Genesis". Although the series had weaker or even downright poor moments, most of the time it was watchable (without putting too much strain on the brain). Most importantly, it was pretty relaxing and put me in a surprisingly good mood. I didn't even mind the multicultural cast, because it just belongs to Paris and Mindy Chen had great one-liners. I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually looking forward to a potential second season. (13.05.2022)

Lily Collins as Alice crossed with Cinderella in a world full of Parisian stereotypes and clichés. A world of fashion, the joys of youth, sex, and understanding between nations. Wonderfully relaxing, attractively entertaining. Incredible costumes. An eye candy affair. Yum. Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu will be 60, and years ago she shone in Three Men and a Baby (1987). No other proof of ageless French women is needed. (04.02.2022)
