EmilyInParis is like SexAndTheCity if Carrie Bradshaw got the fantasy ex-pat life she deserved
Photo: COURTESY OF NETFLIX Is it just me, or has television been a bit of a slog lately? Maybe I’m not watching the right stuff, but the algorithms keep offering me these boozy teen dramas and plotless, high-budget fantasies. No one wants that right now! I’m looking for something a little silly, a little sexy, with a bit of garden-variety drama, a.k.a. all of the things I’m missing in my life right now. And my God, does Emily In Paris — out on Netflix today — scratch that itch.
Emily In Paris is like Sex and the City if Carrie Bradshaw got the fantasy expat life she deserved. It follows Emily , a marketing specialist from Chicago, who moves to Paris to provide the French firm her company recently acquired with “an American perspective.” She arrives at the firm, Savoir, in an Eiffel Tower–themed blouse and booties printed with “Paris” and airmail stickers, and that’s all you really need to know.
Photo: CAROLE BETHUEL/NETFLIX Speaking of blouses, the fashion in this show is gorgeous and ridiculous: Emily’s wardrobe is a joyous, candy-colored runway of tulle and miniskirts, belts and berets; Sylvie wears only black and sex hair; and Camille , Emily’s French contemporary, exemplifies a Phoebe Philo–era Celine chicness.
Photo: STEPHANIE BRANCHU/NETFLIX Emily seems to be the only feminist around, and it being the city of love, her prudish behavior is irritating at first, but that’s probably because I would die to hook up with a random French stranger. That said, it’s nice to see her shut down unwelcome and inappropriate advances, whereas an earlier version of Emily in Paris might have seen her drooling over a gift of lingerie from an older male client.
So if you want to be delighted, if you want to feel the way you did the first time you watched The Lizzie McGuire movie when she toured Rome on a moped with the Italian hottie, crack open a bottle of Sancerre and check out Emily In Paris. Fair warning: It will make you want to drink wine at 11 a.m., eat a chocolate croissant, and make out against a tree in public, but some of those are manageable from your couch.
