Movie #1995 ........................."Emily in Paris" (streaming Netflix) Season 1

 Movie #1995 "Emily in Paris"(streaming Netflix)  Season 1, 10 episodes, 30 mins each

Are you looking for something that is light and fluffy and will put a smile on your face?  Then, it's this one.  The Production Values on it are really topnotch -- costumes, sets (filmed in Paris) lighting, props, music, etc.  The cast is fun, too.  This will remind you of the "Sex in the City" Paris scenes, and it should because Darren Starr is behind both shows.  The female Lead, Lily Collins is a cutie but not quite Sara Jessica Parker, who brought a bit more "weight" to a smiliar role --- what's really fun is watching an American navigate through the gorgeous streets of Paris full of oftentimes standoffish, sometimes mean-spirited French people  misguiding her at every turn.  And she (with all her charm, cuteness and wit)  manages  without hardly any ability to speak  the French language!  Occasionally, the viewer can learn a thing or two about the language, customs and culture of the French, which is a bonus.  We love Paris, and this show allows us to  giggle at the similar situations that occurred to us  on our visits there.  With the brevity of the episodes, we were watching several a night and got through this series in no time.....and are now looking forward to where it goes next!  I'd give it 4 out of 5 and recommend.  It's fun and light!
