Is Emily in Paris a show designed to troll the French? I’ve never seen such a relentless parade of stereotypes and cliches.

Started watching under duress because wife started watching it, but now I’m sorta hate watching it voluntarily. It’s so bad it’s good sorta show. By the sex in the city guy who clearly felt his last outing was insufficiently tropey.

If this was a show about India, the American character Emily would go to her hotel from the airport on an elephant, adopt a cow on the first day, and have a job teaching social media to a snake charming company. Her next door neighbor would be a yoga guru.

I think it’s trolling French people and Americans at the same time. I don’t begrudge either

Well American shows typically caricature Americans with zero irony so that part is not surprising

Cue clueless kids rushing to Paris looking for the "Paris" they saw there.
OTOH: this is a hitherto untapped, unsuspected market for airport-hotel transfers via elephant. Just need the appropriate show.

The French have endless memes about it right now. But they seem to be enjoying the fun more than hating the show.

there is some truth, experience one of my colleague who has been living in France quite a while - referring to the 'not foreign language'.
