Agreed with others -

Loved Mindy.

LOVED Gabriel.

Like YOU, I LOVED Gabriel and Mindy.

I also loved seeing Paris.

Hence, I enjoyed it. I didn’t love the show, and it’s not something I would rewatch. But it was a fun series.

I do not watch hallmark.

It’s not a documentary...it’s a Darren Starr Netflix show. Lighten up.

That’s the ultimate sign of disrespect for French people. There’s an expectation that you should always, out of respect, ask a French person (in French) if they speak English before you launch into it. No wonder most of the characters hated her!

I disagree. She spoke French to the bakery lady while ordering and made an effort (and was corrected on her pronunciation).

Her character is so, so annoying! Caught myself rolling my eyes, a couple of times, just like Sylvia.
Usually an American person would have a few cliches going on, but she has them all, except that she looks more French than American, which is absurd.
This could almost be kids show, lacks depth and it's so predictable and naive.

I guess I'm watching it because seeing so much Paris really brings joy.

I liked and do not watch Hallmark, which is cheesy, whereas this is just fluffy, not cheesy.

I think people really don’t remember early SATC.

It definitely has an Ugly Betty vibe meets gossip girl trying to be Carrie Bradshaw.

There’s absolutely no way that character could afford that much Chanel. Not even close.

Yes to both.

Yes! Mindy’s character was more interesting.

I watchEd the whole thing in two days, went back-and-forth on trying to decide if it was dumb and irritating or a little more “meta“ than we were giving it credit for. I mean clearly the show appreciates how annoying she is in her American ignorance and yet she persists with being the “American point of view” which basically amounts to her Instagram skills. When her boss tries to get her to delete her account and she whines to her friend that she doesn’t know who she is in Paris without it I felt like OK the show knows what they’re doing here. Anyway it was pretty and that hot Gabriel just lit up the screen by doing nothing more than standing there so I happily watched it.

It’s mindless fluff - enjoyed it as such although I do agree it was overall weak. I loved seeing Paris though - the clothes, the food, the city!

I love Hallmark movies and this is nothing like them. Hallmark is super cheesy but it's also 100% G rated. They hardly show any kissing and they don't even imply sex.

How is this Netflix's fault? It has an MA rating. I guess you also didn't bother to check common sense which recommends it for 15+ and the very to parent review starts off by saying "This show is like very softly mid p*** I would say."

^^ **very first parent review

Lol this ‘offends’ you??

Agree with PPs who like Mindy and Gabriel far more than the lead. The actor playing Gabriel was asked something about fans in a recent interview and his self deprecating response was something about not having fans. Not any more, boy is his life about to change!
