Emily in Paris: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Lily Collins in a rom-com about an American girl in the French capital, now back for series five
Year: 2020-
Certificate: 15
Sheer escapism meets every French (and American) cliche going in a gentle romantic comedy about an American marketeer let loose in Paris. Made by the same team as Sex And The City, there is plenty of froth to enjoy but underneath it all is also a story of friendship, ambition and love with plenty of heart.
Lily Collins is a delight as Emily Cooper, an American who has been sent to Paris to work at a luxury marketing firm. While the first series is big on culture clashes as Emily thrashes her way around the capital, then two to four dig deeper into the characters, including Emily's enigmatic boss Sylvie, played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. It also sees her find love in an unusual place. Paris has rarely looked more beautiful, while the clothes are a reliable joy.
The latest fifth series finds our Emily in Italy for both love and work, hopping between Rome, Venice and wherever else she so desires - but Paris is still on the itinerary, too. La dolce vita indeed. There will, of course, be another series after this. (Five series)
