Whether you have taken a trip to Paris with Emily not, you have definitely heard one thing or another about Netflix’s new hit original romantic comedy series Emily in Paris. It’s the kind of quintessential comfort viewing that you can burn through in one sitting without having to be too challenged. But don’t feel like you have to rush to watch the series.

Emily in Paris stars Lily Collins as the titular Emily Cooper, a young American social media expert who lands a dream job at a marketing firm in Paris. But as she rises in popularity through her adventures on her own social media, Emily finds assimilating into the new culture at work and in Paris at large a difficult task — even as she falls for her handsome neighbor Gabriel (Lucas Bravo).

Look, here’s the thing: Emily in Paris isn’t nearly as bad as your Twitter timeline would leave you to believe. The Golden Globe-nominated series is the television equivalent of a delicious cake. It’s comforting and fun, but you might feel a little guilty about it later. If you love these kinds of shows, you’ll have no regrets about Emily in Paris. But if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel bad about skipping this one.

Emily in Paris season 3 hit Netflix in Dec. 2022, and we know season 4 is also in the works!
