It's been far too long since the internet has come together to collectively and obsessively dunk on a piece of pop culture. Think of the fun that was had over the online massacre of Cats. Thankfully Netflix has gifted us with a new dunk darling with Emily in Paris, a series so ridiculous, casually boring , and out of the realm of reality that it makes it the perfect show for this exact type of viewing. In the series by Sex and the City creator Darren Star, Lily Collins plays the titular character, who works as a social media editor at a fancy luxury marketing firm in Paris. It's a job she's pretty terrible at , but she's plucky, conventionally pretty read: thin, white, and able-bodied , proudly basic, and has the crazed positivity of a bulging-eyed spin instructor. It's a lot, but the series wants viewers to root for her and believe that her extremely hot French neighbor would risk it all with his beautiful, kind, AND rich girlfriend for a shot at Emily's Midwestern meh an insult to all the hot, dope Midwesterners out there. Emily in Paris is undoubtedly the spiritual kid sister to Sex and the City , with spunky designer Patricia Field costuming included.
Nouns get all the good parts—potato, macaca, the Appalachian Trail—but this winter, in Paris, a jobbing three-syllable adjective set off a political scandal. But, coming from the mouth of the second-most-powerful man in France—from state to citizen, administrator to artist—it drew particular notice. Unemployment is at Hollande, who campaigned on an anti-austerity platform, has promised to conjure thirty billion euros with a mixture of cuts and taxes. Ayrault had intended to give a lesson. Conscious of the French ambivalence toward wealth, and perhaps in thrall to it, he had long presented himself, in spite of his business successes, as a man of nature. I was truly in the shit, pal!
