I enjoyed this show. Stay mad Frenchies.

The whole idea of interviewing French people for their opinions on a show about an American girl living out her fantasy of being a ~unique flower in Paris is silly. It's not for the French.

I'd love to watch it but sadly I don't have Netflix anymore. Does anyone have a link with English subtitles?

[aspacecake]

Right, LMAO, I'm Canadian so I have some Quebecois frenchness in my brain, but some of the sterotypes were.... true hahaha

I love the show for what it is. It was like a vacation for my brain

Saw the trailer. Felt a little try hard so I passed it

[squirrels_oh_no]

NBCNews.com was shitting on it for being released during a pandemic when nobody can travel.

Lmao omg. Next they'll complain about sci-fi. "If I can't fuck off earth and go to moon why would I want to watch an actor in a movie go to the moon?? It's so unfair!!"

So what, we're supposed to watch Host and idk, Panic Room in a loop?

[sarahvma]

That's a bizarre take, given how much of entertainment revolves around escapism.

[yurasama_love]

I thought the exact same when I watched this trailer. I don't even like the French but that was bad.

[iznanassi]

Idk I'm tired of this portrayal of france only bc it completely erases POC and how rich the culture can be there as soon as you move away from white people

[saintclaire87]

Yes, the only POC on the show where side characters that supported Emily. Mindy and Julien were a lot more interesting.

[anais_vert]

Mindy seemed more supporting to main character as we knew more about her life and she had storylines separate to Emily

[syvlie0o0]

I wouldn’t call Mindy a “side” character since had her own storyline, more than Camille.
