Lily Collins and Ashley Park return in the eagerly awaited new season of , dropping today, August 15. Picking up from where season 3 ended, Emily Cooper (Collins) has chosen to stay in Paris, leaving Chicago behind. This season is set to unravel a whirlwind of love triangles, surprise pregnancies, and other juicy drama.
However, critics aren’t as excited, finding the new twists rather dull despite the show's signature fashion-forward flair. Curious if this season is worth the watch? Read on to find out what went awry in part four! . No matter what's going on in Emily's life, her ensembles are always on point.
How she manages that wardrobe in her miniscule Paris apartment and her salary is anyone's guess. But this series is hardly about keeping it real. While that wasn't really an issue in the first season as the sweet temptations of the series, bang in the middle of a pandemic was hard to resist.
But now by season 4 the effect has surely worn down. While the show still retains its familiar beats, unless Part 2 really redeems itself with an interesting plot to take the story forward, this may as well be the final season. It's not that Emily in Paris is unbearably unwatchable, it's just the series has been going round in the same circle now for far too long.
To get annoyed by TV as blandly pleasant as Emily in Paris does at times feel like kicking a puppy. But don’t we deserve better? As a show, it seems desperate to have more edge, peppering the dialogue with the odd swear.
