5 Things You Need To Know About 'Emily In Paris' Before You Watch
Netflix

In This Article:

Scrolling through my Netflix home page and I see a show with Paris in the title, I have to watch right? 'Emily In Paris' is a comedy/drama that was released as a Netflix original in October of 2020. It stars Lily Collins who plays the intelligent, fashionable, Chicago native, Emily Cooper. The show follows Emily on her journey as she moves to Paris to bring an American perspective to a French marketing firm. Here are a few things that can help you decide if this should be your new Netflix binge.

1. Emily is a LOUD feminist. 

If you're anything like me, you love a good feminist success story. Mid-season, Emily works with a perfume company who insists on having their campaign based around a naked woman. She challenges her client by asking him if his campaign is sexy, or really just sexist? So much girl power. I love it.

2. The shots of Paris are incredible.

I feel like I've toured Paris just after watching one season. The cinematography and the way they capture the city make you feel like you're there with Emily and her friends on all of their adventures. Absolutely stunning.

3. It's extremely realistic. 

If you're looking for a super cheesy, happy ending, this is not the place to find it. 'Emily In Paris' is super cut and dry about the fact that not everything is happy all the time. It's real life, not a fairytale.

4. It sheds light on today's world of the influencer.

While casually posting about her escapades in the city, Emily begins to gain a large instagram following. Without asking, she becomes an influencer-type social media presence and starts to get invited to brand events just for the sole purpose of posting about it. This then gets her into some sticky situations with her job.

5. It shows that you CAN move to a new city alone!

I dream about moving to NYC but it's always the fear of not making any friends and being alone that holds me back. 'Emily In Paris' tells us all that you will make friends! Emily meets her best friend just sitting on a park bench eating a baguette. It may not be that easy, but it is possible!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
