EMILY IN PARIS Netflix

-

SEX and the City creator Darren Star has penned this cute but clichéd culture clash comedy.

Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) is a SUPER enthusiast­ic 20-something marketing executive from Chicago, who lands her dream job in Paris.

She doesn’t speak French, but who cares – “fake it till you make it!” she squeals.

Within four minutes of the first episode, Emily is fully settled in her new Parisien apartment, with a view that makes her feel like Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.

A French man hits on her, assuming a boyfriend back in Chicago doesn’t count.

In her new office, think Devil Wears Prada as everyone is stereotypi­cally mean.

By the end of day one, a lonely Emily’s Instagramm­ed her first pain au chocolat, met a handsome neighbour and found a BFF.

The fabulous fashion and lots of sidewalk strutting will remind you of Sex and the City, but otherwise, this might not quite break the same ground.
