Emily In Paris review: season 3 simply extends the show's mindless ... (The A.V. Club)

Congratulations to Netflix for making Emily In Paris one of the most glamorous yet insipid series on TV.

And that’s why Emily In Paris is a visual treat—look out for a couple of Gabriel and Emily scenes halfway through, and an episode set in Provence, that is a standout. Emily In Paris is obviously a form of escapism; for that, it gets the credit, even if it doesn’t deserve much else. Emily, Mindy, Sylvie, and Camille are all involved in the trope of juggling multiple love interests. It’s a good thing she belts out covers of Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga in season three, an antidote to Emily crooning Dionne Warwick’s “Alfie.” But Mindy sort of disappears in the middle episodes as she gets caught up in her own love triangle. Despite most of the actors’ efforts, Emily In Paris is still a chore. In that sense, EIP is the equivalent of mindlessly browsing through TikTok—an overlong scrolling session that feels like an amusing enough waste of time. To date, Emily In Paris’ approach to the Parisian adventures of Chicago native Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) has been “rinse and repeat,” and the show’s 10-episode third season stays true to these roots. (At the risk of pulling an Emily In Paris, gosh this show loves to be rote). Collins looks perpetually flummoxed, but at least her hair is never out of place, not even when Emily cuts her own bangs. (Hint: Until the last-minute cliffhanger of season three). The new episodes carry on the trend of being equal parts boring and confusing. The show suffers by trying to be superficially earnest instead of fully embracing its whimsical nature.

Emily in Paris Season-Premiere Recap: Cutting It Close (Vulture)

Emily gives herself bangs in the season three premiere of Netflix's 'Emily in Paris.' Can she throw a party for Alfie at the same time she's meeting with ...

Over at the Eiffel Tower, Emily is using the passive voice to absolve herself of all responsibility for the mess she’s made of her own life (“It all just got so complicated”). But okay!) This is all potentially quite juicy stuff for the start of the season, but given this show’s track record for letting Emily actually live with the consequences of her actions, I am not sure how hopeful to be. We aren’t with her and her bandmates enough to be all that invested in what happens to them, and nothing she’s doing has any effect on Emily or the core goings-on of the show. (Fortunately the one couple I do believe in and care for deeply — Sylvie and the sexy, young photographer — are still together, and still have the correct priorities: no work talk when it’s time to make out). Again it is hard to believe that these two people are an item given that Emily is such a bad girlfriend (never pays attention to him; is obviously hung up on someone else) but the show needs us to believe that Emily is being torn asunder in both her professional and personal lives, so here we are. Emily goes to her other job (how she explains being MIA for half the day with both her bosses is left unclear). (How exactly does it benefit Madeline for Emily to have no idea who the meetings are with and what she needs to prep for … It is best to think of the entire exercise of Emily in Paris as a sort of collective hallucination that we are all having together. Madeline’s outfit is significantly worse (bright magenta and orange, very tight), I assume because her role in this world is “terribly not-chic American,” and I know I said this last season but I am very not into the way this show treats her pregnancy as beyond comical, like practically grotesque. — though I wonder if we are to believe this sort of frenetic, scrambled ritual is not her standard practice but instead is a manifestation of her frenetic, scrambled mind. Emily goes back to the Savoir offices so we can get a full-body shot of her outfit: a fuzzy sweater in a Care Bear color palette, a metallic miniskirt, and just-over-the-knee shiny green boots. [Camille hate Emily’s guts](https://www.vulture.com/article/emily-in-paris-recap-season-2-episode-4-jules-and-em.html) and only [ pretend to be nice to her](https://www.vulture.com/article/emily-in-paris-recap-season-2-episode-5-an-englishman-in-paris.html) to neutralize her as an obstacle on Camille’s (also inexplicable) quest to regain Gabriel’s heart?

The cast also talked about berets and big life choices at a screening and reception at the French Consulate General to celebrate Season 3.

“I think I would,” he added, “But I like my hair too much.” “I live in America, and I came here because I wanted to be an actor, but also because I respect the professionalism,” he said. “Emily is in Paris for the moment,” said Mr. “Emily going into the office that early was definitely funny,” said Camille Razat, who plays Camille, a Parisian socialite and a rival for Gabriel’s affections. “But I got a perm, and it was way too much, so I had to wear my hair in this topknot that I called ‘the pineapple' for a year!” said Ms. “I think there’s more story to tell.” “I never wear them,” Mr. “We work to live, not live to work,” she said. “I had a life change haircut when I was, I think, 26,” Ms. “I cut all my hair off — it was a pixie haircut — and I went to the Vanity Fair Oscars party and people were like, ‘What happened?’” “There’s too much romance in Paris,” he added.

Emily in Paris Recap: We Can Work It Out (Vulture)

Emily and Alfie are together, then break up, then are together. Madeline and Sylvie attempt to out-business each other. Mindy turns down a job.

In my notes I write, “The second-hand embarrassment here is so powerful I may die 100 times before this episode is over.” Alfie also seems to hate it at first (“What do I have to do to get you to stop singing?”) but, for some reason, her musical persistence charms him thoroughly and erases all of the other material issues behind their breakup so they kiss and I guess are back together again. Luc tells Sylvie to stick with her guns and try to build her own thing. Sylvie has learned from her mistakes and she meets with her deputies to discuss it. Unlike Emily, Sylvie is capable of processing new information and learning from her mistakes, so this time she takes her job offer back to her deputies to deliberate. Sylvie is relieved and they all hug and dance together. Madeline, seemingly forgetting everything she has learned over the past several hours — that clients want Sylvie and her relationships; that she cannot run Savoir without Sylvie; that humbling herself is the only wise move here — is all too delighted to have the upper hand, and tells Sylvie that her offer just expired. Camille and Emily have this conversation that, sigh, is all about how they want to trust each other and be friends. As she leaves the meeting with Madeline, Emily realizes, all of a sudden, that Alfie is not her boyfriend anymore. Is it interesting and plot-generating for Sylvie and the gang to have signed contracts with strict noncompete clauses in them? She reports to Camille and Gabriel that Alfie has been in Paris this whole time and of course they both already knew! It is actually hilarious to me that he boarded a train to London, got a call from Antoine, came back to Paris, and kept it a secret from Emily. Mindy turned down the jazz-club job so she could continue to barely scrape by busking with her boyfriend and her new bandmate even though she has only been in this band for approximately a month, and she’s cut off from the Zipper King money, and presumably needs an income to keep her in over-the-knee boots and sequins.

'Emily In Paris' Is Back & Here's How Much You'd Need To Earn Just ... (Narcity)

From what we've seen in the previous two seasons, Emily, who is played by Lily Collins, has expensive taste, especially when it comes to fashion, and now ...

New Casinos estimates Emily spends $2,947.74 a year on transport. In total, Emily spends about $3,239.28 a year, according to the New Casinos report. Utilities cost an additional $2,372.40 a year, New Casinos estimates. Emily is not one to use the Metro, which would be the cheapest way to get around the city, and instead depends on taxis to get around. Fashion aside, a girl has to eat and Emily likes to eat out frequently in the show. Netflix's Emily in Paris is back for a third season and that means we get to daydream about living her life, which involves stylish outfits, lavish trips and romance in the historic capital of France.

Where Was "Emily in Paris" Season Three Filmed? (HouseBeautiful.com)

"Emily in Paris" season three was filmed at various locations in France, including the Eiffel Tower, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and Hôtel Molitor Paris.

[La Nouvelle Eve](http://www.lanouvelleeveparis.com/le-cabaret/) is one of the oldest revue theaters in Paris. [Molitor](https://www.molitorparis.com/en/hotel/) hotel first opened as a Parisian bathhouse called [Piscine Molitor in 1929](https://www.historichotels.org/hotels-resorts/hotel-molitor-paris-mgallery-by-sofitel/history.php).

Overlooking the lavender fields and olive trees of the Luberon valley, the Provence restaurant is part of the [Airelles Gordes](https://airelles.com/fr/destination/gordes-hotel) hotel. While fashion is certainly at the forefront, the [Netflix series](https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/entertainment/a41968608/wednesday-filming-locations-romania-castle/) has taken viewers to several breathtaking filming locations in France—from the [Palace of Versailles](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prance-around-paris-like-emily-with-this-season-2-location-guide) to [Le Château de Sonnay](https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/a34338253/le-chateau-de-sonnay-french-castle-netflix-emily-in-paris/).

There, visitors can explore [the château's various rooms](https://www.montpoupon.com/the-chateau/?lang=en). “I didn't even think it'd be possible, but I think Paris has been very generous to us and in giving us access to amazing locations all over the city.” [Emily in Paris](https://www.housebeautiful.com/about/a38541960/cost-of-living-emily-in-paris-netflix-lily-collins/) stems from its over-the-top, often très cliché extravagance.

Emily in Paris Recap: Office Space (Vulture)

Sylvie attempts to trick Madeline into vacating the old Savoir offices so she can use them. Emily faces the prospect of going back to Chicago.

Emily finally stands up for herself because the thought of returning to Chicago for a dreaded “360 review,” where she will, I guess, have to pretend Madeline didn’t botch everything, is too much for her poor heart to bear. The speed with which Madeline came, saw, conquered, and destroyed this branch of the company is truly something to behold and I’m sure will really pave the way for other working mothers at the Gilbert Group. First of all, why the hell would she be performing this song, in English, at this jazz club that — as we just learned during an extensive tour of her dressing room — has seen many a jazz legend perform there? If anybody’s performance had any texture to it and we could sense that Alfie was doing a little chess-not-checkers thing here — like, he’s not just being a good friend to Camille and Gabriel; he’s actually trying to neutralize the threat he fears Gabriel still poses to his relationship with Emily — I’d be a lot more into this. For reasons unclear (the show will not allow Emily to actually face and live with the consequences of her bad actions for more than ten minutes), Emily and Alfie are in a great place. Emily and Alfie snuggle in an improbably pink hotel bed as she tries to get the man she completely blew off to declare that he stayed in Paris to pursue a relationship with her.

Emily in Paris Season 3 Ends With a Massive Plot Twist (ELLE.com)

The cast and creator Darren Star walk us through the finale's biggest moments.

“And I even want to go as far as saying that making choices in this season is at the center of the story. “But at the same time, we grew closer to her and really, really connected with her and became allies and almost equal within that dynamic.” But in the finale, Benoît reemerges with good news: His song “Mon Soleil” was selected for the Eurovision Song Contest. “I love filming those kind of scenes because I love when there’s an emotional intensity and everybody has to be very focused and the set is very quiet; I thrive on this type of energy on set,” Bravo says. Filming that tense wedding scene “was really kind of special because I think everyone brought their absolute A-game and you don’t really get to see that side of the characters,” Lucien Laviscount, who plays Aflie, says. “One of the things he was gonna commit to was Camille and this idea of having a child with Camille,” Star explains. With Emily as the star employee in the office, he often feels overlooked and his hard work ignored. It’s always been through looks or the kind of ‘will they, or won’t they.’ And this was the first direct contact of expressing feelings in this kind of environment. Lucas Bravo, who plays the heartthrob chef, felt a deep responsibility as the one to deliver the bombshell at the very end of the season. “I think she really does like Sofia, and I think she doesn’t want to do what people expect her to do. As the dust settles, Emily and Gabriel meet outside the chapel to decompress. “Gabriel, the only reason we’re together is because I knew you were in love with Emily,” she says.

'Emily in Paris' Season 3 Is All About Sylvie: Philippine Leroy ... (WWD)

'Emily in Paris' season three focuses on Sylvie's new company and life: actor Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu explains her character's evolution.

Season one, they were like, “Oh, no, no, we’re not like that.” And now they’re super happy about the show. They were like, “Oh my God, this is not real. And the fact that people think that I’m like a Parisian woman now makes me feel even more Parisian. You’re much too old for the part, they’re looking for somebody who’s 35, 40 years old, but you should read the sides of Sylvie if you want to read for it.” And when I read the scenes they sent me, I just went, “Of course. And I think it’s a life lesson. Actually, last year, he said, “Do you know why I hired you?” And he said, “Because I liked your vulnerability.” But she’s a very strong character. I like her vulnerability. L.-B.: Oh, I like her sassiness. P. We’re going to see her life. We’re going to see her vulnerability. Here, she previews the season ahead and explains how French perception of the show is finally improving.

“You come to Paris, you walk into my office and you don't even bother to learn the language,” Sylvie, played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, says to Emily. “You ...

She does something in Season 3 that really could mean the end of her career towards the end of the season, but she does it with such confidence. “She sees how bold and smart she is and she recognizes that as something that she probably was when she was younger, in her own time, with different tools. Familiar with crafting complicated female characters through series like “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Melrose Place” and “Younger,” Star is quick to say Sylvie is not a villain, but rather a role model: “In terms of how she sees life and her point of view,” he says. She was a girl that was basically living bare feet on the beach and then she has to go to Paris and become Sylvie Grateau. “She’s so multifaceted and she expresses all these different sides of her with a lot of freedom,” Leroy-Beaulieu says. And that not-normal [life] was also a lot of fun because it taught me a lot about a certain freedom.” “It is really fascinating to watch her process in wanting to make, technically, the villain of the show, still empathetic, grounded, relatable, soft at times. Leroy-Beaulieu made her acting debut in Roger Vadim’s film “Surprise Party” in 1983 and a few years later earned a César nomination for most promising actress with her role as a single mother in the comedy “Trois Hommes et un Couffin,” a runaway hit in France that would eventually be remade in America as “Three Men and a Baby.” The majority of her career has been in France, where she has performed in a string of films and TV shows, but she was virtually unknown in the U.S. “I wanted the character to have this sense of mystery about her. She even had a small role earlier this year in Netflix’s Emmy winner “The Crown,” playing Monique Ritz, widow of hotelier Charles Ritz. When the conversation turns to her own culture shock visiting the U.S., she says she found the loneliness of L.A. She was in that position herself when she auditioned for the role, originally written to be between 35 and 40 years old.

“Emily knows what she wants, and she has to make choices in her profession and her personal life, so she’s wearing bold lips,” says Payen. “It’s really a balance,” says Payen of mixing up her Parisian instincts and keeping a finger on the pulse of new products, like Face Lace decals and high-wattage eye paints. Take Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu’s breakout character, Sylvie (Emily’s boss-but-not-boss who viewers dream of starring in a spinoff), for example.
