I watched Emily in Paris in one day and this is what I thought

Oooh, what was I in for. Such a nice show to watch where you don't have to think too much and where you can just daydream. Well, it just so happened that I had finished watching The Bold Type so I naturally had oceans of time left. And yes, finally it was there online: Emily in Paris. It had to be the new Sex and the City.

I believe it's a bit because of this weather, but last week I was really so unmanageable tired. So last Saturday I moved from the bed to the couch, put on Emily in Paris, told Netflix about five times that I was indeed still watching (can't that function just go away?) and... Then suddenly Emily in Paris was over. In one day. And of course, I have a lot of opinions about it.

1. Confession: I don't find Paris a nice city at all. And yes, people who think that really exist. In fact, the Paris Syndrome is not something you want to have.

2. But even I would find Paris amazing with such a view. How much would she pay for this apartment? Doesn't Paris have Amsterdam prices by now?

3. For someone who supposedly is a Social Media expert, she has extremely few followers. I think my dad has more than 48 with 0 posts.

4. A big plus that they actually hired French actors instead of Americans with a very faux accent.

5. That Emily is bizarrely pretty, I must say. I understand that literally every man she meets in the series wants to woo her.

6. My view on Paris might be changed by this series, but the Parisiennes don't come off very well. What a bunch of grumps there.

7. GABRIEL. Hoooly shitballs, this man is handsome. Just for him, I would go to Paris. One way, please.

8. Emily may be a petite girl, but she holds her own. If people treated me like that at my new job, I would be gone within three hours. Back to Chicago.

9. Did anyone else think Camille would fall for women and Emily would go through an experimental phase in Paris? No? Nobody? Okay.

10. I would also quite like to drink wine alone with a beret on such a typical terrace in Paris.

11. How quickly Emily forgets her ex is also quite reasonable #lifegoals. The day after such a break-up, I would go make-up free, not care about what I wear, and maybe just not get out of bed. No, then I can better do it like she does.

12. No matter how few followers she has at the beginning, she grows so quickly with the simplest photos. *photo of passersby on the street* *1000 followers added*

13. Okay, seriously: does that tip from Gabriel about not cleaning the pan really work? I'm inclined to believe everything this man says. SO HANDSOME.

14. Isn't anyone going to start about how Emily and Gabriel are obviously in love with each other and he is actually emotionally cheating? Besides the fact that they also just kissed, of course. Why doesn't he dump Camille?

15. And honestly, Emily isn't such a good friend either. Secretly kissing a friend's boyfriend is a no-go, and she doesn't feel that guilty about it either. But pfff, that Gabriel. I get it.

16. Emily's boss might be the most terrible figure in the history of Netflix shows. What a jerk.

17. I. Don't. Get. It. Gabriel wants Emily, she wants him too, why does he let Camille know earlier that he's staying in Paris than her? Is he really a cheater?

18. I keep forgetting that Emily is actually also with that Mathieu Cadault. Not bad either. Is she also a cheater then?

19. Okay, I have the answer: in Paris, no one throws away their old shoes before they have new ones. That's probably it.

20. But... That ending. It can't be otherwise than that Gabriel and Emily are #endgame, right? We're going to see this in the second season, right? RIGHT?

Well, I already have the revealing answer to that: YES. There is going to be a second season. When? No idea. Is it confirmed by Netflix? No. But the creator Darren Star has already said that it’s coming, so I choose to believe it. And since I heard multiple people who also watched the series in one day (fellow sufferers), it can only mean that Netflix is happy with the success.

What should we do in the meantime? Well, follow Lucas Bravo on Instagram for example. Yes, that's the actor who plays Gabriel and yes, he is also ridiculously handsome on Insta. What is ‘marry me’ in French? Asking for a friend.
