The fashion was fun as was the views of Paris.

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...
They are not supposed to be friendly. They are professionals.

It was a very simplistic, stereotypical, cliched show and I loved it. Yes, over the top fashion for a young person in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Yes, she succeeded in every endeavor. It was pure escapism for me. It was beautiful and crisp in its filming and the men were candy.
And for people who didn't figure out this was inappropriate for their younger kids - gimme a break. That is not Netflix's fault - parent fail for not looking up the warnings.

I enjoyed it. It was a fun watch. Paris was the star of the show and since we can't travel right now, it was a fun ride.

I think some of you are missing the point here. The show is supposed to be stereotypical. Her character is supposed to be annoying. It’s not like these things are coincidence.
It’s definitely not just a cutest teen show. There are a lot of more nuanced pieces like the idea in the last episode that no one gets fired in France, And the relationship between Antoine and his wife and Sylvie. Of course it’s a little silly but I find it totally watchable. The casting is outstanding.

The French press actually likes to the show. We are a Franco-American family and we watch it under two different lenses. I can totally appreciate the mocking of French AND American stereotypes. It’s very funny and silly.
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.

Agree. It is uncomfortable.
It is. And she has lines on her neck like a woman in her 30s or 40s due to her extreme lack of fat.

Funny, I thought her neck looked nice and long, giving her that rare, naturally elegant look.
She's a 31 year old, looking like she's in her early 20's.

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!

I worked for a European company they are pretty much like this to work for. The apartments are dumpy.
I worked for a German company 11 years and have been to Germany for work way way to many times.
I don’t speak the language. I don’t have to they nearly all speak English. I do smile a lot as I spent thousands on my teeth and never smoked.
My parents and in-laws both raised Europe.
