Emily in Paris brings stunning fashion choices, drama and more to Season 4.
I find this show charming. Lighthearted, short and simple. It’s the perfect show to have on in the background. There’s just enough
drama to leave you interested.
This show is about a girl, Emily, who is from Chicago and works at a marketing firm that just acquired a company in Paris. Her
boss was originally supposed to go but ended up being pregnant, so Emily gets go.
Each new season feels like a repeat of the last, but still it feels different. The plot stays the same with how every single character
is in some sort of love triangle but it it keeps getting reinvented. If it’s not Emily’s love life, it’s her friends Mindy’s.
Season 4 follows along with this. Part one begins with the aftermath of season three’s finale. What is going to happen after Camila called off the wedding to Gabriel and found out some surprising news about herself. Who will Emily pick between Gabriel and
Alfie?
Part one and two packed a lot of drama into 5 episodes. I can’t say I’m a fan of the way Netflix does this. We watch as the first episode shows us that Emily is still dealing with the news of Camille’s pregnancy. Alfie hasn’t spoken to her since he walked out after telling her he felt she was still in love with Gabriel. Agence Grateau’s client, Ami, picked Emily and Alfie for their campaign. The boss still expects the two to showcase their love as part of the marketing strategy.
The season continues with Julien departing Agence Grateau to work with Nicolas at JVMA. His workload ends up getting dumped
on Emily and Lucy. We learn more about Sylvie’s background when we find out about what happened with Louis de Leon when she worked for his company.
Part one seems more focused on the other characters and not so much on Emily. We see more of Mindy and her band. They
get into Eurovision but need to come up with the money to go.
Throughout Part 1, Sylvie is contacted multiple times by reporters seeking an interview about her former boss, JMVA Louis
de Leon. They want to know more about his controversial relationships with women in the workplace. At first, she doesn’t want to, but eventually she does.
Part 2 returns with more drama as Emily finds herself in Rome. I found this half to have more going on for it. We get introduced to another love interest for Emily, who happens to be Italian. For a fictional character she sure is a lucky girl. She’s lucky in love when it comes to foreign boys.
Emily and Gabriel end up breaking up and take space from each other. Sylvie’s step daughter, Genevieve, shows up and starts
working for her. She’s also American. Julien comes back to work for Agence Grateau. Gabriel might end up with a Michelin star
after all.
Emily’s flight to Chicago gets cancelled so she ends up spending Christmas with Gabriel, Camille and her family. While on this trip, she meets Marcello. She wasn’t expecting to run into him again.
Later in the season, Marcello returns and brings a new romance to Emily. She ends up showing him around Paris. He ends up doing the same for her in Rome.
Season four ends with Agence Grateau launching a Rome office, which Emily is picked to lead, giving her a reason to stay in
Italy near Marcello. Mindy is heading to be a judge on Chinese popster. Gabriel finds his way to Rome after finding out that’s where Emily is.
I enjoyed this season overall. It was once again a fun, lighthearted show to watch in the background.
