This annoyed me only because it was an otherwise simplistic show that would be appropriate for kids. To me, it came off like they threw in some adult themes in a ham-fisted attempt to level up a childish show. These elements seemed out of place against how silly everything else was, including the ridiculous stereotyping. They unnecessarily limited their audience, which, in light of the stereotyping, might be a good thing. (I also knew nothing about the show or the show writers when I started it. I was not watching with a kid so it was fine.) Whoever described it as the bag of candy you don't really like, but eat out of boredom or desperation, was spot on. This show was my candy corn.

Agreed that it was weird to show that yet not show the sex scene with Gabriel. He must have a nudity clause.

Only people who are used to sporting generic , creepy faux smiles all day long think of the French as not super 'friendly'.

None of the servers I encountered in French restaurants or shops were friendly. It’s noticeable and comes off as unfriendly. Hence, the stereotype...

I was braced for this and had the exact opposite experience in Paris (first time, I know maybe 15 French words that I learned for the trip)- we had conversations with a bunch of random people in cafes late afternoon etc. I found that the French for the most part are just going to mirror what you are giving.

I have been to Paris several times and have always found Parisians to be very kind and welcoming.

This is my favorite show to hate watch.

I thought it was entertaining but cringy.

I think Parisians are similar to New Yorkers. Busy but normal. The only rude people were the clerks at the LV store.

My family and friends in France also like it. They view it as an appreciation of French culture and Paris.

People need to stop being so uptight.

Best answer yet. This is supposed to be fun and entertaining. Beautiful actors, lovely scenery, dreamy clothes, great food and wine. Life is hard for all right now. It’s the prefect time for some light entertainment.

I think it's silly that people are upset about the "authenticity" of the show. It's not a documentary.

I think its.a fun show, and think shes adorable. Shes petite, and I don't think she looks too skinny.

I thought it was a cute, easy watch. A little levity in this time of covid and election angst.

You clearly don't watch much tv. Pretty Little Liars was hugely popular and featured a 16 year old girl in a sexual relationship with her teacher.

She is anorexic. This is sick. The show is too cringey.

Totally agree. It's SUPPOSED to be a showpiece, and she's SUPPOSED to be annoying. Everyone who encounters her character comments on it!

As a New Yorker, I agree. I don’t find Parisians rude. Brusque doesn’t mean unkind. At least there’s no fake smiley BS

I'm from Eastern Europe originally and I always feel right at home when the servers are unfriendly. That said, servers/retail staff in France were downright warm and fuzzy when compared to servers and retail staff in Eastern and Central Europe!

LOL, right? My family is Hungarian and Czech. We took a trip to Slovakia a few years ago and it was a true study in "the customer is always wrong." I kind of enjoyed it.

Age of consent in France is 15.
