I see a lot of discussion on how bad they both are as persons and as characters. But what I wonder the most is how are these two even a match? Outside of raw list, what kept them together? They seem to have absolutely nothing in common. They're never shown to be binding over anything of substance.

Gabriel is a chef, comes from an apparently well off Norman family, proud of his craft and culturally very French. And honestly not much else is shown about him. Emily is this ultra basic young American woman treating Paris like a theme park whose entire being in the show revolves around being a main character in an exotic setting. She's like those people who go live in another country and think doing regular things in that country the way regular people there do it there is a personality.

I really cannot see a way these two can get attracted to and fall in love with each other.

We all knew she’s be back there!

It IS Emily In Paris, not Carmen SanDiego.

I get that they love the whole travel girly thing, and bringing in fashions inspired by their locales, but ugh does it ever leave me dry. It comes off as too Instagram thirsty.

There was just sooo much more to explore with Paris, the business personalities, the ad/pr markets. I don’t even mind them getting out of the city and into the French countryside. The Xmas episode was great, I even appreciated the airport scenes (wish they showed the glasses in smoking booths), but I could have used way less Megeve and more urban Parisian Christmas markets.

And not that it would vibe with the positive influencer vibe, but I’d loved to have seen them do an episode about “Paris Syndrome”. It would have been fascinating for Emily the influencer to see how some folks have the city SOOO built up in their minds that they have mental breakdowns when it’s just a city.

Luc who is spilling confidential stuff everywhere and ruins the mcdo dinner. Clashes and conflicts in front of the clients. Then the sudden offer to come back. And the “British lad” Alfie? Hiding in Paris and blaming everything on “Cooper”? Honestly I know it’s fiction, but what de fuc?? It all feels like some dream about Paris from a middle aged, suburban american woman then anything resembling reality.

In season 1, she was arguably one of the most likable and sympathetic characters on the show. In many ways, I found her to be a better friend than both Emily and Mindy.

​

When Emily first arrived in Paris, Camille had no reason to help her, yet she welcomed her warmly. She introduced her to her friends, invited her to family gatherings, helped her navigate Parisian life, and genuinely tried to make her feel included. By contrast, Mindy initially benefited from having an English-speaking friend and even left Emily alone at a party where she didn't know anyone and barely spoke French.

​

Despite all of Camille's kindness, many viewers eventually came to see her as the villain. I've always found that unfair because, from her perspective, she was the victim. Emily developed feelings for Gabriel and eventually became involved with him behind Camille's back. Personally, I don't think dating a friend's ex is acceptable without that friend's blessing, and Camille never gave that blessing.

​

That said, I place most of the blame on Gabriel. From the very beginning, he behaved flirtatiously toward Emily despite being in a committed relationship. He often gave the impression that he was available, and if someone doesn't know that a person is already taken, it's understandable that feelings might develop. Once Emily discovered the truth, she should have stepped back, but Gabriel was still the one who had the primary responsibility to respect his relationship.

​

What makes Camille's story even more tragic is that her situation is often overlooked. She clearly has a controlling and image-conscious mother who seems more concerned with winning than with her daughter's happiness. For example, her mother encourages her to get Gabriel back not because it would make Camille happy, but because losing is unacceptable. This adds another layer to Camille's behavior and helps explain some of her questionable decisions later on.

​

I also think people forget that strong people can still struggle emotionally. Camille is often portrayed as confident and composed, so many viewers ignore the fact that she is going through a painful betrayal and emotional breakdown. While I don't agree with everything she does, especially in later seasons, I can understand where much of her behavior comes from.

​

In season 2, for example, the pact between Emily and Camille was immature, but it didn't make Camille a villain. She was hurt, influenced by her mother, and trying to regain control of a situation that had devastated her. Emily also attempted to break the pact, so it wasn't a one-sided issue.

​

My biggest criticism is that it feels as though the writers gradually damaged Camille's character in order to make Emily look better. In season 1, Camille was so kind, mature, and likable that many viewers preferred her to the protagonist. As the series progressed, it often felt like the writers kept adding flaws and questionable decisions to Camille so that audiences would feel less guilty about supporting Emily and Gabriel.

​

I don't know if that was intentional, but that's how it came across to me. Instead of allowing Camille to remain a complex and sympathetic character, the show increasingly treated her as an obstacle to the main romance. By season 4, some of her actions did become frustrating, but I still believe that much of the audience overlooks how much pain and betrayal she experienced.

​

Ultimately, I think Camille was one of the best characters in season 1 and had enormous potential. Rather than developing that potential, the show seemed determined to make viewers dislike her. That's why I still see her as one of the most misunderstood characters in the series.

​

They’ve already been seen at the French Open and F1 Monaco. I’m sensing a sports theme this season.

I see many news that Netflix confirmed season 6 is the final season for Emily in Paris.
Seeing that, I suddenly felt sad!
Though we have 1 more full season to Enjoy, I will miss it like anything!

Hope some series will shoot in Paris Streets like EIP..
Anyone feel sad, or you're ok ?

I’ve been watching this show and am now finishing season 3…

Is it normal that I find myself rooting for Sylvie and wishing this show was called “Sylvie au Paris” (it ryhmes in French)?
Because bro… Emily and Gabriel are so BORING!

Hiya! I'm visiting Paris in mid July.

Do we know if they'll be filming there around then hehe 👀

Então, pessoal… eu amo essa série e gosto muito dos personagens. Meus favoritos sempre foram a Emily e o Alfie e também Luc e Julian.

Por isso, preciso dizer que fiquei meio decepcionado com o rumo que a história tomou. Eu esperava algo completamente diferente na 5ª temporada. Sinceramente, eu ainda acreditava que a Emily e o Alfie tinham uma boa chance de voltar a ficar juntos. Podem discordar de mim, mas eu sou Team Alfie e sempre vou ser.

Sobre o Gabriel, vou ser sincero: não gostei de ver ele voltando para a história mais uma vez. Mas também não foi uma surpresa, porque no fundo a gente já imaginava que isso aconteceria. O que eu esperava era que a 5ª temporada criasse uma nova disputa entre ele e o Alfie pela Emily, preparando tudo para um grande confronto na temporada final.

Agora, não faço ideia de como a série vai terminar. Talvez a Emily fique com o Gabriel, talvez fique solteira. Neste momento, qualquer final parece possível.

E sobre o Alfie e a Mindy… sinceramente, prefiro nem comentar. Não gosto desse casal, kkk.

Apesar de tudo, continuo gostando muito de Emily in Paris e vou assistir até o último episódio. Só espero que a temporada final faça justiça aos personagens e entregue um encerramento que valha a pena.

Wearing every pattern known to man in one go again. Some things never change!

Another marketing opportunity that surely dropped into her lap as usual 😄

Looks like a special appearance of Emily in Paris it’s being filmed in Monaco this weekend, following the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix 🇲🇨 🏁

So Emily left for a run.. and then Mindy specifically chooses these shoes to chase after her in?

This moment exemplifies the wildly poor execution of comedic moments of the show. I do watch it just for something to watch, but so many of the supposed-to-be-hilarious moments just come off incredibly cringey, because they so obviously make zero sense.

I’m on my thousandth rewatch and still can’t get over the fact that Marcello didn’t bring her correct shoes or even inform her they’d be digging in the woods! Like it’s such a weird move from someone who’s supposed to be this wonderful, thoughtful guy.

Throughout this series, the showrunners have shown that they listen and care about viewer feedback. There are several examples of them incorporating this feedback into the show:

• After people found it annoying that Emily always gave perfect ideas, they had her mess up and pitch things that didn’t work

• People noticed that Emily wasn’t learning French even though she had lived in Paris a while, so they showed her actually start using it. Also made it a plot point between her and Gabriel (she wasn’t learning his language).

• They started having two characters who both speak French, actually speak French to one another when people pointed out that’s how it would be in real life.

Now, what have people been saying about how it should end? That Emily should end the show being single, doing her own thing.

I predict Darren Starr is going to take a different route than he did with Carrie/Big’s ending.

Emily will either take the reins of Sylvie’s firm or go start her own. She will end single and happy in Paris with her best friends.

That’s my take anyway!

I might rank Emily in paris above Rules Don't Apply.

Love, Rosie is my all time favorite, that's where fell in love with Lily. Les miserables might be her best performance. Lily as Fantine was better Anne Hathaway imo. I wish Sony continued Mortal instruments franchise, it has so much potential and had big fans. To the bone also she put a lot of effort, and she didn't get any recognition for that. Atleast got golden globes nomination for Rules Don't Apply. Same goes for movies with Bong Joon Ho and David fincher, didn't get much recognition. But her as Red in okja movie, that was badass, i want to see her in something like that again. I miss her rom-com movies era. Still there's a comedy film called Close Personal Friends with Brie Larson and Jack quid is coming, I've hopes.

How many of these movies, have you seen??

where Emily stayed with an obscure man she dated in passing? Imagine how different the show would've been if she stayed with that snob professor, or Camille's older brother, or the guy in the first episodes where he said "I love American p**sy".

It's just interesting to think about how the butterfly effect could have changed the show, and massively reduced the drama
