At a certain age we learn: There are no guilty pleasures, they are just pleasures.and trying to make excuses for them betrays insecurity. Guilty pleasure continues to be labeled “Emily in Paris”as if lightness were a sin, or (especially) romantic comedies have historically served to reflect the harshest social reality of a city and a moment. It’s pure escapism, but also flawed escapism, but just because something isn’t a masterpiece doesn’t mean it’s garbage, even if Twitter wants to force that kind of hysterical polarization.
Having said all this, those of us who advocate the silent consumption of ‘Emily in Paris’ will have to reconsider our words. it takes some time to relax while watching its third season, the most erratic season to date. The list of traps is important. No, it has nothing to do with Emily Cooper, a heroine who is irresistible to some and fascinating to others, including this chronicler. Lily Collins As Emily’s optimism begins to wane, she continues to overflow with charisma: she doesn’t know how to get out of her multiple dilemmas, the barrage of questions about her loyalty, both at work and in love. Will he stay loyal to his mentor Madeline (Kate Walsh) at the now-vacant Savoir agency or Sylvie’s new company (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), chief expert in hard love? Will the London banker try to make things right with Alfie?Lucien Laviscount), despite the distances, otherwise chief Gabriel (lucas bravo) in the friend zone? With her now somewhat useless French lessons, Emily finds herself right in the middle. The most painful of conditions: not deciding to choose is also choosing.
Although it took a few episodes (especially three) for the producer to understand, it’s not Emily’s problem, nor are hers. darren star (“Sex and the City”) and your crew remember what personal or cultural frictions worked best on the show. What kind of painful yearnings: the eternal appeal of ‘Will they or won’t they?’ is a resource as worn out as it is infallible. Everything gets better with the fourth episode and it reaches its climax in the fifth episode. Robin Schiffscreenwriter of Priceless “Romy and Michelle”. Then the effectiveness drops again, until a delightful final episode for season four that promises a good dose of ‘camping’ delirium and a soap opera return.
Yes, it is an obstacle. obvious product placement, during the pandemic, either from a well-known hamburger dealer, a certain jewelry company, or the most popular software (or something else that was invited to shout “help!”). Remember the climax with Ronald McDonald from ‘My Friend Mac’? We’re talking about this level of intervention. And it happens when the product sold is not very convenient. luxury pornography at its most disturbingly obscene. On the other hand, every musical performance or physical comedy (a croissant against a pigeon, bees in Provence) has an overt unease, wanting to escape from reality.
Meanwhile the individual talents and interpersonal chemistry of an ensemble cast go to waste not entirely well-weighted: In addition to Collins, there’s that majestic Leroy-Beaulieu (the actor of Vadim or Wajda), always a subtle and precise Bravo or that star in the making.
