'Emily In Paris' - Paris gets the 'Sex In The City' treatment.

We watched the first season - rom-com fun.

Pros:
Beautifully photographed. Lots of eye candy. Some very funny lines.

Cons:
Paris is way too clean: No graffiti, no traffic, no tourists, no trash, no beggars. Emily never, ever, ever takes the métro or the bus. She only steps in dog poop once.
Total stereotyping of the American characters and the French ones.


Amazingly fun fluff.

The Netflix productions can be losers. I've been preferring foreign movies and series that weren't produced with a Netflix collaboration.
