Emily in Paris is a comedy-drama aired on Netflix. Produced by Darren Star, it is light and funny with glamour and appeal that is almost magical.
The storyline centers around Emily Cooper (Lilly Collins) who moves from Chicago to Paris to take up a job offer that she thinks is going to be exciting and will bring about a fresh change. Tired of her mundane routine in Chicago, she grabs the opportunity to work for a marketing firm in Paris on the condition that she will offer an American perspective.

As Emily struggles to learn French, she can balance the professional and personal. She makes new friends such as Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) the chef and Mindy (Ashley Park), a Chinese singer. Emily is charming and witty as well as talented. And it is not a surprise that people throng around her. As she enters into her first relationship she discovers that French men are true flirts.
The cultural discrepancy between Paris and Chicago comes as a surprise to Emily who is bedazzled by the French way of life.
