The third season of Emily in Paris is available on Netflix and it brings a new batch of shots on the French capital and the rest of France.
Available since December 21, season 3 of Emily in Paris quickly rose to the top of Netflix’s top views. Subscribers around the world love Darren Star’s series, especially for its “postcard” vision of Paris.
French audiences have a rather love-hate relationship with Emily in Paris, since it contains a lot of clichés about the French capital and France in general. And the third season is no exception.
And it starts from the first episode, which features the McBaguette, a sandwich from McDonald’s that Emily has to promote. And subscribers were distressed to see that the series tried to make the Parisian McDonald’s glamorous.
Internet users were also surprised by the scene with the pigeon, used for Sylvie to recover her offices.
Translation: “Thank you Emily in Paris, now everyone will think that the French are pigeon breeders.”
Subscribers also laughed to see how Emily in Paris had represented the Fête de la Musique as a guinguette from another time.
Another place that seems much more chic in the series than in real life: the Gare du Nord.
French subscribers also find it difficult to understand this constant “franglais” in the series, especially when French people communicate with each other without Americans. Why don’t they speak French if no English speakers are around?
In summary, as for each season of Emily in Paris, subscribers complain about the unrealistic vision of the capital transcribed in the Netflix series.
Season 3 of Emily in Paris is available on Netflix.
