The SERIELAND recommendation: "Emily in Paris", on Netflix

PODCAST

This week, SERIELAND's algorithm, Bertrand Chameroy, recommends "Emily in Paris", a ten-part series aired on Netflix with Lily Collins.

A sweet fiction ideal to watch under a plaid, on a long rainy Sunday, as long as it's in original version. 

"Emily in Paris" is the story of a young American who settles in our capital to work in a marketing agency.

This ten-episode series available on Netflix, we owe it to Darren Star, the creator of

and

First advice look there in original version because a good part of the gags is based on the fact that the heroine does not speak French well, if at all.

So, in French, it obviously works a lot less well.

From the trailer, we feel that the Paris depicted in the series will be a stereotypical Paris.

I watched the first two episodes to be clear and indeed, there are clichés in spades.

Parisians are all flirtatious and disagreeable.

They smoke in their office, drink hectoliters of wine during three-hour lunch breaks.

There is accordion,

Café de Flore, pains au chocolat, everything is there.

Guilty pleasure

But I, too busy counting the shots, didn't realize that the trap was closing in on me.

This series had the same effect as the "shokobons".

We take one like that, a little guilty to see.

Then we can't stop.

And in the end, we finished the package.

The same thing happened to me with

I watched the whole season.

So the plot is not crazy, of course, but despite everything, we want to know how this Emily will integrate with her colleagues and how her love life will evolve ...

Special mention to the French actors Jean-Christophe Bouvet, who plays a fashion designer as renowned as he is detestable, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who here plays a deliciously unpleasant agency director.

So who do I recommend this series to?

To continue in the stereotypes, I would be tempted to recommend it to young women who liked

or

.

But I'm living proof that it also works great on men in their thirties who like to kill their long, rainy Sundays under a plaid in front of light comedy.
