Parisians and French critics are up in arms over Netflix’s romantic comedy series ‘Emily in Paris,’ which stars Lily Collins as an American overcoming all manner of French stereotypes in her pursuit to become a social media guru. Details:
"strikingly watchable, an escapist confection brimming with easily digestible plots, costumes and characters" but the reviewer took issue with the main character of Emily. "Plucky, cheerful and arrogant, Emily plops into Paris determined to"bring an American perspective" to French branding, never once considering that her proud cultural ignorance is actually a weakness, not a strength.
" For many French critics and viewers, the"proud cultural ignorance" was a little too much and the show has been roundly criticized, mocked and dismissed for perpetuating stereotypes of the French, glorifying an unrealistic theme park version of Paris and absurdist plotlines.] we learn that the French are"all bad" , that they are lazy and never arrive at the office before the end of the morning, that they are flirtatious and not really attached to the concept of loyalty, that they are sexist and backward, and of course, that they have a questionable relationship with showering. Yes, no cliché is spared, not even the weakest."
