Trois, deux, un... Bonjour la plouc! We counted down the days to meet her again and the time has finally come. The second season of Emily in Paris is now available on Netflix.
We do not hide, the first season of the series created by Darren Star and starring Lily Collins It hooked us from the first episode and despite the fact that some media called it ridiculous, the truth is that Emily Cooper taught us something very important: to laugh at ourselves.

IN PREVIOUS CHAPTERS...
Emily had moved to Paris to join the Savoir marketing agency (owned by the Gilbert Group, a company she works for in Chicago). Before the young woman in her twenties she presented herself a new life in the city of lights doing her dream job: What could go wrong with her? Oh mon Dieu!, many things.
The clash of cultures and Emily's eagerness to adapt leaves us on the road a good dose of clichés that do not intend to go beyond achieving have fun with Emily's adventures.

Also, the backdrop couldn't be better, so between strolls through the Luxembourg gardens, parties at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, evenings at the Opéra Garnier, aperitifs at the Café de Flore and a très chic wardrobe – by Patricia Field and Marilyn Fitoussi – we went back to madly in love with paris.
If to this we add the great interpretation of Lily Collins and the charisma of the rest of the cast – Philippine Leroy Beaulieu (Sylvia), Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), camille razat (Camille), Samuel Arnold (Julian), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine) and Madeline , (Kate Walsh)– the result is a light series, without artifice, that makes us have a good time and enjoy the charming French capital.
