Interview Darren Star, creator of 'Emily in Paris': "We like to hate people when we feel offended"
The 2022 Golden Globes will be delivered but will not be televised. One more nail in the coffin of some awards that took too far its essence of crazy event before the Oscars. An event in which the stars drank before taking the stage for their accolades. A few amateur accolades to reward unhinged casting decisions over unanswerable performances. From the Golden Globes is the image of
Leonardo DiCaprio's
grimace
before a Lady Gaga on the
way to her trophy for
American Horror Story
.
But crazier prizes have been awarded at a gala that has also given us great moments and this is where we rewind three sentences: "an event in which the stars drank before ...".
The stars drink and the award voters, the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, enjoy it from the front row.
Emily in Paris
It did not get a Golden Globe in the 2021 edition, but it did manage to be nominated in two categories of television: best comedy or musical and best actress in a comedy or musical. That was perhaps the last straw for the Globes, as it had already transpired that just before a group of voters had been treated to a trip to Paris as part of the series.
Its first season was justly beaten
by critics and yet it got two nominations in awards voted by, among others, television critics.
On the other hand, Netflix always declared that
Emily in Paris
had been a success. That it was renewed for a second season did not surprise anyone. Nor that it did not appear in the nominations for the 2022 Globes, those after the scandal, those that will not be seen on television. It is true that he has not had time to introduce himself either, but let's not challenge the Globes to break their own rules.
Zero surprises also regarding the quality of the second installment of this fiction about a little American trying to succeed in Paris:
Emily's
second season
is even more embarrassing
than the first. The stale jokes about France continue, the nonsense of
Amélie
on a tourist visa continues, the romantic plots taken from the most repressed rose novel continue, and Lily Collins, Phil's daughter, follows, putting to the limit our ability to see her be fluffy and adorable all the time. little while. You get just the opposite: you want Emily to fare badly, that her refusal to learn French finally gets her into a big mess, and that her smelly retro-colonialism translates into a
"yankees go home"
banner
on her doorstep. her flirtatious
pied-à-terre
Parisian.
That Emily was the new world and Paris the old one was clear from the beginning, as it is the premise of the series, but that insistence becomes insulting beyond a fictional pact that, if it were at least funny, we would buy. Wasn't that also the wonderful

And wasn't Darren Star a smart guy?
The creator of
Sex in New York
is behind
Emily in Paris
, although everything indicates that his job is to propose the idea and then put the pot.

Star does seem more present in
And Just Like That
, a sequel to
Sex and the City
that coincidentally coincides in time with this second season of
Emily
.
It is curious that there this writer and producer with such a good eye does seem to know what he is doing and why.
That it achieves its results is another thing.
With
Emily in Paris
we don't know what she wants.
And what it does is that we want to yell at the TV "Move away, Emily, we want to see Paris, not you!".
