When Emily in Paris first hit our screens a couple of years ago, it was like a breath of fresh air! Now that we’ve had four seasons, we’re pretty familiar with the regulars—Sylvie, Gabriel, Emily, Mindy, Luc, and Julian. But honestly, that initial spark is starting to fade though I still enjoy the vibe and aesthetics of the show.
In Season 5, the Italian scenery is gorgeous, and I’m all for that! But I’m getting a bit tired of the same old relationship drama and the over-the-top social media antics. It feels like Emily and Mindy are on a never-ending carousel of new boyfriends—Marcello and Alfie this time around. The breakups with their exes don’t seem to hit hard at all, and I’m left trying to catch my breath as they jump into new romances. Sure, these new guys look great and have good hearts, but the speed at which they fall for each other feels unrealistic. It’s like they just met and now they’re inseparable after a month!
Fashion is still a big draw of the show, and there are plenty of fun elements in this series. But it feels like something is missing, and I wouldn’t exactly call it a romantic story—more like a light-hearted comedy without paying much attention when watching.
All in all, I find myself enjoying shows like Bridgerton or Valeria more, where the characters feel a bit more relatable and real. As for Emily in Paris, I’m not exactly looking forward to the next season.
