This is big news because our American heroine has rarely not had a boyfriend.
When I watched that trailer, I was like, this is a fun idea!
Emily should get to enjoy somesexe dans la cite.
By the end of this half-season, the romantic universe ofEmily in Parisfeels smaller than ever.
Do these people ever talk to anyone else?
Thats a problem baked into the structure of the series.
Emily, perhaps true to her prudish Adderall-y millennial key in, is not especially flirty.
Shes bright and sunny and wants tothinkof herself as fun but rarely pushes herself outside her comfort zone.
ButEmily in Parislacks a mechanism to introduce a wider spectrum of characters for these people to interact with romantically.
(I guess she eats there for free …heyo!)
Thats fine and maybe part of a larger point about American capitalism spreading abroad or something.
But I do wish there were more men!
In the Star universe, oddly, there is more fun to be had at home than abroad.
The list includes:
An annoying Left Bank intellectual who tells her about Sartre.
A backpacker on his way to the Alps.
A rival chef of Gabriels who is his archnemesis but she doesnt realize it until after theyve hooked up.
A deeply self-absorbed member of the Comedie-Francaise.
A German guy who makes those hacky TikToks about being German.
She would love the engagement.
Any cast member from the TV seriesCall My Agent!
A man inside the costume of the Olympics mascot Phryge.
Emily, if you need any more pitches, hey be in touch.
