Emily &#8211; reeling from her hot hookup with Gabriel &#8211; is going for a casual jog through Paris wearing\u2026 an asymmetrical top. I don\u2019t think anyone in the history of the world has gone for a brisk jog in an asymmetrical top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this is why we love the series, right? It\u2019s silly, chaotic and trashy but in the most endearing, escape-real-life way. Season one landed right in the middle of this damn pandemic, bringing us a welcome, Parisian reprieve from daily COVID case numbers and disappointments, so it makes complete sense that season two has dropped in what might be 2021\u2019s most tense, stressful period. Could there be any better way to deal with pandemic anxiety close to Christmas than to lose ourselves in the world of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily In Paris<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207506\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207506 \" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/netflix-emily-in-paris-season-2-lily-collins-anouki-heart-dress-mindy-ashley-park-zadig-and-voltaire-suit.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"682\" height=\"1023\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The escape we needed right now. Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s recap. In case your brain digested then wiped out the events of season one, we left Emily as she bathed in the post-hot-coitus glow of a now <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">very<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> requited love. She had finally slept with Gabriel, thinking he would be fleeing the city for Normandy forever. Except then\u2026 he did not. He stayed to open his own restaurant, leaving Emily in a bind &#8211; Camille (Gabriel\u2019s now-ex) is her friend, and the whole \u201cI just slept with your ex\u201d issue has become far more real now Gabriel is staying and kind of in love with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s still the focus as we enter season two. Camille is devastated by their breakup and leaning on Emily, who has decided the best course of action is to try and sweep her feelings for Gabriel under the rug and get him and Camille back together. Gabriel, meanwhile, is hell-bent on addressing their wild night of passion and all the feelings that it spawned. Meanwhile, Emily\u2019s burgeoning romance with Mathieu Cadault (Pierre Cadault\u2019s nephew, and client of Savoir, the marketing company Emily works for) is on the rocks, and as always, she\u2019s screwing up campaigns left, right and centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207514\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207514\" style=\"width: 2092px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207514 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-23-at-12.08.56-pm.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2092\" height=\"1300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207514\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emily is once again a pretty bad Instagrammer.

The beauty of this show is that it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">knows<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it\u2019s over-the-top, from the fashion (with Patricia Field at the helm, who could expect anything less?) to the Darren Star plot lines. It\u2019s all drama, all the time &#8211; but in a fun way, like having boozy brunch with your girlfriend who <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily In Paris<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> still has its faults. Emily <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">still<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can\u2019t Instagram to save her life, so her 27,000 followers seems totally unrealistic given her inability to take an aesthetic photo is at maximum levels this season. Sylvie is probably a bit too present and too bitchy in the first few episodes &#8211; we watch this show to have a delicious adventure, not to watch Emily get repeatedly humiliated by her boss. I also cannot see a way in which we get everything we want here &#8211; how will Emily keep Camille as a friend, and end up with Gabriel? Currently, I\u2019m enjoying the Camille\/Emily\/Mindy friendship trio far more than I\u2019m enjoying the Gabriel romance, so I\u2019m not exactly rooting for Emily to find love yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207512\" style=\"width: 831px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207512 \" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-23-at-12.09.08-pm.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"831\" height=\"536\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I hate the idea of Camille and Emily becoming enemies.

While <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/and-just-like-that-sex-city-review\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Just Like That<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chose to place its characters firmly in the real world, weaving mentions of COVID and vaccines through its dialogue, the world of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily In Paris<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is COVID-free and I personally welcome this alternate universe. After all, we don\u2019t watch shows like these for their realism, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am convinced the producers of this show are psychic, because once again, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily In Paris<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is here right when we need it. Would we adore this show if it released seasons during periods where we have less stress and more freedoms? We might watch it casually, but I don\u2019t believe we\u2019d fall for it the way Emily has fallen for Paris (and Gabriel). We needed this.
