French critics slam Emily in Paris over its "proud cultural ignorance"

The Hollywood Reporter

One French reviewer said the Darren Star series projects the same unrealistic image as the acclaimed film Amélie, adding you "have to strongly love science fiction to watch this series, knowing that Parisians are mostly friendly, speak irreproachable English, make love for hours and that going to work remains an option. The writers may have hesitated for two or three minutes to stick a baguette under each Frenchman, or even a beret to clearly distinguish them, on the other hand, they all smoke cigarettes and flirt to death."
