It is exactly what it is, harmless escapism, and on its own terms it is enormously successful. We wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s subversive, but Emily in Paris is definitely in on the joke. It winks at the audience. We know this is all ridiculous, it says, but don’t worry about it. Just keep watching.

In its second season, “Emily in Paris” serves up more of the same, and more of something TV can do well: Charming, watchable, low-friction entertainment in a setting that’s fun to look at. It’s not the best of anything. But it’s good TV.

Meatier Season 2 delves into Emily’s personal growth. Her emotional progression is gradual and almost imperceptible until the last two episodes of the season, when you suddenly realize yes, she might still be grating to the last, but she’s no longer the wide-eyed naïf she was when she stepped out of that cab in the fifth arrondissement. ... As was with the first season, the most valuable people on screen are Emily’s coworkers.

Fun, fashion-forward and funny, Emily in Paris’s second season makes for a very easy watch if you’re after a fluffy romcom full of colourful characters and lovers’ tiffs to get you through the Christmas holidays, but if you’re looking for a sitcom with substance, I would say non merci to this messy comedy.

While the drama and tension between Emily, Gabriel, Camille, and now Alfie might be what keeps the lights on, there will likely come a point in time when viewers decide the good no longer outweighs the bad. For some, that point may have already come and gone. For others, it could be on the horizon. It's up to everyone to decide how much they're willing to handle.

The show and its lead try to be more earnest in season two, only to fall short due to lazy writing, dramatic and stretched-out narrative arcs, and Emily’s ongoing lack of distinctive traits beyond the fact that she’s apparently good at her job.

If you take it as one giant joke at Emily’s expense, then it’s a sporadically fun show.

As with season one, Emily in Paris is a very easygoing show. There's nothing too dramatic about the storylines, the cast are all likeable, and the locations and outfits all present an idealised version of a publicists' life in Paris. As with Sex and the City, Darren Star isn't a great comedy writer and the actors (with one or two exceptions) aren't capable of deft, comedic timing, but the show is constantly capable of raising a smile and the odd laugh, here and there. Emily in Paris is, in many ways, a perfect show for Netflix, as it serves as a great palette cleanser, to be dipped into between movies or binges of other shows. That being said, of course, as with everything made by Netflix, it raises the downvoting bot army, that Disney pays to attack everything Netflix do. Suffice to say, it's not a show that anyone could ever hate, just as it's not a show that will ever earn 10/10. Fun, easygoing, light and incapable of raising anyones anger, unless they've been paid to faux fume.

This show is just embarrassing. Don't waste your time if you are real fan of humor and fashion. It's not "Sex in the big City" at all. It's cheesy cheap insulting cringe! And netflix, stop accept money for placing propaganda against Ukrainians.

This show is terrible. That's all that needs to be said about it. A show in Paris for someone that has never been to Paris. The insulting of nations and boring script. Avoid this garbage.
