I love some of the other characters. But Emiliy, nope, sorry. She looks like a small child playing dress up with her mom's clothes. Plus there is zero chemistry between her and any of her boyfriends. It's jut not believable that she would charm everyone around her with her "wit"... And after all this time in Paris she still can't pronounce "Bonjour". I guess I just love to hate her.

What do you mean? She is a great actress! I mean, you can TOTALLY tell she is acting!

Yes!!! Totally agree. Can't put my finger on why this is.

I’ve worked in Europe for the past 12 years and I remember the stress and hassle of paperwork and procuring documents for the all-important work visas (I eventually married a local and don’t need that now). I can’t get past how unrealistic Emily’s situation is in this area. There is no way an American person can just rock up to a Schengen zone country with seemingly no idea about employment laws, indicating that she never had to do the work visa route, and then just kind of hang around or do other random jobs with no visa and no worries. Even if she initially had a work visa, arranged by her company for her first job (doubtful since it seemed they sent her as a last-minute switch), she would have lost her right to remain and work when she lost that job the first time. She couldn’t just stay and decide to apply for jobs working in restaurants or whatever. In real life, Emily would have been deported and banned from Schengen for overstaying.

This is the PP, I swear it’s the pants he’s wearing LOL In the first two seasons he was shot from the waist up. Turns out he’s bottom heavy and we learned that this season. Bummer!

Guys, the show is not supposed to be realistic. You’re not supposed to be watching Emily-living-in-a-shoebox in Paris, unable to afford couture and dealing with bureaucratic paperwork. This show is literally the Lizzie McGuire of adult tv. There was also a lot that unrealistic about a show like “new Girl” with Zooey deschanel. I watch Emily in Paris for the light hearted escapism. It’s witty as hell, the French commentary on americans is hilarious, and Gabriel is hot.

+1. It’s fun and campy. I don’t know why people are watching season 3 if they made it through seasons 1 and 2—which are exactly the same bugglegum. I also enjoy listening to her friend Ashley sing.

I disliked all the subtitles in this season. I just wasn't in the mood this week.

The character is probably meant to be early 40s. Yes her study line is very weird and what’s with the giant pink water bottle?

Gabrielle is still dreamy and l like Mindy.

I’d be much more excited about the show if it was “Mindy in Paris”

He wasn't nearly as attractive this season. I don't know exactly why, but eh.

I think he lost his weight and it aged him. I was pretty sad abt that bc he’s gorgeous.

Overall, of course this show is totally ridiculous but that’s the fun. Just total escape.

The pink water bottle is to highlight the differences between the Americans and the French. We're known in France for obsessively hydrating.

I watch for the fashion and scenery. Paris is my favorite city in the world so this is escapism for me, even if the plot is stupid and some of the acting is bad. I hate how this young Emily always has an amazing vision for clients and wins all of them over. It's hard to get past.

Yes. Thought the exact same thing! He’s not cute this season!

[Anonymous]

Only 2 episodes in and this is what I think:

Gabriel is not cute anymore

Season is the most boring one so far. Yawn

Alfie is acting like a baby and is sulking all the time. Don’t buy this. I can’t imagine Emily really wanting him.

Emily’s boss’ baby story line is dumb.

The skinny French guy telling her boss where they will going to dinner is unrealistic.

Hope the season gets better!
