  Really want to thank the Disney wardrobe team for stepping in on half of Emily's outfits.

  It's like an 2000's self-insert fan fiction where the main character is always impossibly young fashion magazine editor, but without the boy band she runs into.

  She makes around 60k a year, yet she's spending a small fortune in clothes. "Emily in debt" should be the show name.

  Honestly the very idea that the French would ever NEED anyone's opinion (especially that of a random American girl) when it comes to fashion and marketing is so funny to me

  emily is such a y/n. perfectly perfect, skinny (but always eating junk), and fashionable girl gets a job that she’s no qualified for (but some how amazing at) gets every single man that lays eyes on her.

  When Luke told Emily 'We're all a little afraid of you", I was waiting for the ball to drop because I was 100% sure he was being sarcastic. Nope... apparently the entire office is afraid of Emily because her American ideas are so intimidating 😐

  Emily in Paris feels like a inexperienced teen writing fan fiction about a Disney channel movie.<br><br>Edit: just to be clear, this is not an insult to the fanfic writers out there! ya&apos;ll are cool, and I know for a fact ya&apos;ll could write better than this show.

  It&apos;s just so... American centric. Like the thing that really caught me was the you live to work not work to live to Emily as if the French not living to work is a bad thing? Glorifying the American work ethic like other countries are jealous we have no guaranteed time off or any work life balance. Yet she doesn&apos;t even speak French and has no fashion experience.

  Wait wait wait, so Emily keeps having an affair with Gabriel, even after finding out he&apos;s in a relationship with Camille... and then proceeds going to go to bed with Camille&apos;s 17-yo brother?

  The weird thing is, is that if Emily in Paris just played its premise straight then it might not have been so bad... Like, somewhat ignorant and completely under qualified American girl gets sent to work in Paris isn&apos;t a terrible idea for drama.<br>Just let Emily rightfully faceplant when she first starts out, then make the series about her exploring French culture, France, and the people around her. The more she learns, the better she gets at her job until she&apos;s finally kicking ass in a totally warranted way. Still may not be terribly interesting and it&apos;s still got to change its portrayal of France to something more accurate but it&apos;d be less cringy than this...
