The bit of Carla Bruni sending a message to Bridgette Macron about a product for old woman dry vagina is quite funny!
How can you possibly miscount the floors three times in a row...
It's cliché...
Very cliché...
It's so fucking cliché...
Seriously your handsome neighbor is a chef...!!!!
I expected nothing less, but well...
I found the end of the relationship with her boyfriend too forced....
I don't know how long it's been since she went to France, for her boyfriend not to want to go....
So far I think I know what is going to happen....
But it's not all bad...
Okay, so this episode was better than the pilot. Some nice growth and I really like Mindy. Of course the boyfriend had to be let go, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see Emily discover the romance side of Paris much - Looking at Gabriel now)
Still not completely sure about the show but the improvement from the pilot is keeping me around.
I liked the first episode better because I really hate all the sexual allusions in TV shows, there is too much of them. The marketing storyline reminds me of my colleague from work who did social media for a company selling erotic gadgets, so it is pretty realistic I guess. Though I think I would have resigned if I had to promote this type of product. As for Emily's boyfriend, it was definitely not very nice of him to break up with her on the phone. Emily herself is very self-confident in spite of being almost alone in a foreign city. In some respects, she resembles Clara from "Doctor Who" a bit. Maybe it is due to similar haircut...
Much better than the first episode! Still a little cliché at some points (female rivalry between older boss and younger intern, long-distance boyfriend breaking up while hot handsome local guy is more than willing and available...) but in general, entertaining and enjoyable. Lily is adorable in most scenes

The dialogue is still extremely subpar. I've watched Disney Channel shows with better and more realistic dialogue than this.
It's very much like they're trying to make Lily play a version of Sutton's Liza, which would make sense since both shows are created by the same person. But I'm not sure Lily's acting style is suited for that type of comedy. It requires a certain subtlety to hit the sweet spot,and so far everything about this show, from the acting, to the dialogue, to the writing, to the facial expressions have been too on the nose. Too over the top.
The dynamic between Emily and Sylvie is also pretty much a bargain bin version of Liza and Diana. Except worse because the older, powerful woman is actively trying to sabotage the younger, pretty woman just because she's young and pretty. It's 2020. We should be over using those power dynamics to create drama. At least Diana was dismissive of Liza because she thought Liza was an over optimistic snowflake with no work ethic. Nuance, people! That's the name of the game.
Also, I'm already turned off the there-but-not-there romance plot with the downstairs neighbour. Again, too obvious. Too on the nose.
