I watched two episodes on Saturday and I immediately thought the French were gonna be really offended with the vapid portrayal.

It's dumb fun tho, I'll finish it some other day to see if stuff improves.

Every time i read something about france i think of derry girls' sister michael saying: "Sadly, I'm unable to come on this trip as I despise the French."

I wish we'd get a third season of derry girls

Considering Derry is currently the worse hit place in NI for Covid, that won't be happening for a while. Really not a good thing considering NI is now doing the worst in the whole of the UK. We went from best to worst, real quick.

They were supposed to start filming this summer I think.

I binged it yesterday night and it was okay. It was definitely full of clichés and I hated how Emily was forcing the American way onto everyone, right from day 1.

I haven't seen it but just looking at the trailer/teasers, it's clear they were not going to show the real Paris, just the one dreamt by foreign tourists - and that's why japanese feel deepy depressed once they've discovered the real Paris.Of course we love our baguette, café and such, but Paris is much richer than what they seem to depict. Anyway..
