No way ? that's horrible ! At least they did the stereotype of the American girl being a c*nt with no culture, morals or decency ;-)

Agree! Presenting American stereotypes didn’t seem enough and they provided us with an insulting image of Eastern Europe, which by that way didn’t add anything to the main storyline.

Actually the french people are indeed like that :D

@@georgikrustev8045 Are you French?

Actually they have not exposed Ukrainian character enough ))) It was just scratch of the surface.

Costumer is not always right, but the costumer _should_ always be respectfully spoken to and you can respectfully tell them to go as well. Screaming to a costumer is not acceptable, unless they set the whole place on fire.

@@Widdekuu91 The original was "In matters of taste, the customer is always right," which makes a lot more sense than the misquote version we hear all the time now. Funny thing is, in this case Emily actually used it correctly. As long as she's asking politely, if she happens to like her steak well done then let her have it well done. Sure, the chef might like it better cooked medium, but different people have different tastes. And yes, before anyone tells me that's not how it works in French culture, I know that. It doesn't apply everywhere, I'm just explaining the intention behind the statement because a lot of people here where it's meant to apply have taken it to mean they have carte blanche to steamroll over anybody and everybody in the service industry. That was never the intention.

@@snowangelnc I agree with you. And even when someone isn't politely asking, I'd argue there is still a difference between a bully (trying to push the boundaries and derogatively behave to the staff because they think they have that power) and someone that is making a scene because they are super-stressed and on the verge of tears and doesn't know what to do anymore, other than scream and cry about their mother's burned croutons. The kind of people that feel like burned croutons will 'ruin the entire evening.' I never worked in horeca/restaurants/food-industry but I did work in retail and we regularly had a lady walking in, redhot-anger on her face and trembling with frustration, because her newly bought handbag was falling apart already or because her hat was not washingmachine-proof like the label promised. (To be fair, we were selling shit and polishing turds all day, the costumers were being lied to and robbed of their hard-earned money by the company earning billions a year with this scammy shit.) She'd start with; 'I travelled half an hour by train, to visit this store again, because I don't live near another V&D and I ASKED THE LADY IN ADVANCE IF THE LABEL WAS CORRECT AND SHE SAID IT WAS AND LOOK AT MY HAT AND IT WAS THE LAST ONE IN MY SIZE-" etc. And whereas my colleagues would usually dismiss the costumer or tell them to file a complaint online (even blatantly telling them to fuckoff if they didn't listen, because they were busy filling shelves or took the screaming very personally), I would drop everything out of my hands, and tell her; 'I can see your frustration, lady, and I can imagine how frustrating it must be to travel áll the way back on your day off, only to come over here and complain about the faulty labelling. I can indeed see on the label that is says washingmachine-proof, but that clearly isn't the case. You're absolutely right. We should take them off the shelves. Now, I can see -if- how I can get you a refund and whether we have your size left, back in stockroom, incase you want a new one in return, that you then have to obviously wash by hand. Let me know what your preferred solution is. And let me walk you to the cashierlady that is better at these things than me.' And then I would walk with her, which took only a minute extra, but instead of adding to the anger (sending her away) I walked with her and that resulted in a better mood. Within that minute, the screaming, upset and trembling costumer would often start stammering an apology for their outburst, after which they often mention; 'Youknow, my sister recently died and my daughter is having moneyproblems and I am unable to help and this was just the last drop, I got worked up on my way here in the train and it was such a beautiful day and I actually wanted to go to the forest but I had to do this instead." And I'd advise them to visit the forest anyway, the one that was nearby and they'd wave goodbye and thank me and the costumer was happy(ier.) And my collegues would call me insane and tell me to 'get rid of the freak' next time, instead of helping her, because there were shelves to be filled.

It’s cuz emily is a whole Karen

in Germany we say "the customer is king" though our customer service is nowhere near as subservient as American customer service

Yup. Her hipocrisy is blatant.

thats the first episode?! oh my god -_-

The writers clearly didn't do their research when it comes to ANY culture whatsoever! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Wait... did she actually manage to pronounce "Mackinac" correctly?

I thought they cancelled I Am Not Okay With This due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Some things which get a lot of press as being cringey-bad end up getting a lot of views so that people can decide whether they find it cringey; if it generates strong feelings, regardless of good or bad, it has a better chance of staying around I think =)

Don't forget Anne with an e and a typical 🙃🙃🙂

@@ikramkadri2352 oh my gosh Cancelling Anne with an E is the biggest mistake Netflix has ever done.!!!! There were millions of signatures on petitions to get it back !! But they didn't ... Atypical too was such a great show!

Not to mention that they cancelled Julie and the Phantoms!

OK but she was rude, not pregnant and he actually suggested for her to try it first before complaining, which is fair since they cooked it as she asked.

Yes but I'm sure there's a more polite and less arrogant way to ask for the meat to be cooked a little longer

Well said, thank you👏

they will probably ask how cook you want it. they will also probably secretly despise you if you ask for anything above medium rare.

She is pretty, that's it

to ✨seamlessly✨ segway into the emily/alfie plot line with a enemies to lovers trope. they’re so genius and creative like that😌

To show just how many morals Emily has

True, but why did the actress agreed to do the role of Petra? Didn t she read the script?

@@ninak1976 From what I know, she's Russian, not Ukrainian. Doesn't it suddenly make sense?

@@meridaskywalker7816 um,no, she s ukrainian. Inform yourself

The clothes wear her! She looks ridiculous.

@@TreebeardWood yup 👍

But it’s going to be an offensive stereotype… Oh, wait

Have you seen San Andreas? An American girl walks into the room and two British boys practically faint and ask for her number right away, because she is 'so s-so beautiful...' And she just hands them her number like she's a rockstar and is getting this treatment all the time. Same thing in Lizzy Mcquire the movie (in rome) and Despicable me 4. And Madagaskar 3 (or 4?) and Taken, though that one isn't really simping and more like pimping. But you know what I mean. American women (are made to) think they'll be seen as rare diamonds over here.

​@@Widdekuu91 Damn it really is a way to common trope

Right??? I loved Camille's response. So appropriate

Im still mad about Mindhunter. I dont hate Emily but i agree with you that shows like Mindhunter should get the same kind of popularity but thats just life

When it came out I thought it would be like SATC, based in Paris, but when I started watching it, it was nothing like it, I survived one or two eps and never came back

I am willing to believe that Emily is actually in a psych ward somewhere like the one Buffy episode, and all of this is a world she has concocted in her mental state, only to be revealed as such like the old Newhart show's series finale. Perhaps the characters are medical personnel, etc.

I took Moonfall more seriously than this

Mindhunter, oh, yes! ❤

Exactly. I totally hate her. She's such a bish

She didn’t know he was underage. It’s not her fault and I am not mad at her.

What's even more confusing is that this show got an emmy nomination for best comedy series.

It's just been renewed for seasons 3 and 4 🤦‍♀️

Bc so many people are hate-watching and bad press is better than no press.

Because people are watching it and giving the show views.

1899 is a snoozefest 😂😂😂

It was so inappropriate when Emily did those things as well.

@@theladymorgana8657 when she didn’t know. It’s not her fault.

@@theladymorgana8657 you are acting as if Emily did that it in purpose as a predator. She didn’t even know; you saw how disgusted she was when she found out who the brother really was. Why are you acting like Emily is bad over a misunderstanding?

and the mother of this minor girl then asked how she was in bed?🤦‍♀️

I can relate to some things on the show. When I took my mom to Paris for a vacation it was an awful experience. I don't know if it's because we're Asian or the French just dislike foreigners, but the people aren't very polite, service was bad, we couldn't even ask for directions without getting scoffed at. To think I saved for more than a year for this trip SMH.

@@sylobloc4774 Paris is a 10mil hab area with 60 to 80 mill tourists a year, Parisians are very busy and don't have time nor the energy to entertain/help tourists. Also keep in mind, we have different social cues, you may have done something that was frowned upon.

you're waiting for la viande rose? that's something you haven't in common with Emily apparently (seriously though there couldn't be anything more cliché than la vie en rose in a fiction about france)

@@valdir7426 got it

Camille and Sylvie are so ICONIC ✨

Isn't that the stereotype of Americans? 😆

@@riotoews7853 well that seems right 😂

That's exactly why most people don't like Emily's character. She's arrogant for no reason.

To be honest, main characters in (most, or at least some) Korean and Chinese dramas are just as basic.

How would she be paired with a native speaker everyone in the class is learning French🤔

@@emilytalerman3567 If you are an immigrant and you're taking classes to learn the language of the country you moved to, chances are that you're going to have at least one classmate from your home country. A lot of language courses put emphasis on teamwork mostly because a lot of exercises are actually roleplay conversations (e.g. a shop owner with a customer, a job interview situation) so that you get used to using the language in a setting where you don't have much time to think so you have to improvise. So for such tasks, teachers often prefer to avoid pairing two speakers of the same language. For example if it's a Spanish course and you put a German and a Korean together, they'll be forced to discuss their task in Spanish. But if you pair two Danes, they'll end up discussing the task in their native Danish because it's easier. I took German classes when I moved to Germany and I had a lot of Chinese classmates. All of our teachers avoided pairing them together or tried pairing them with a third person who *wasn't* Chinese so they'd *have* to speak in German so as to not exclude the third person out of the conversation. Otherwise they would have just spoken in Chinese and so they would have never truly got to exercise their German.

😂😂😂

@@TheSweetForever ?

I doubt that crap very much

In my opinion, I don’t think that Camille forgave Emily so easily. She just pretends to continue to be friends with Emily to make sure she doesn't approach Gabriel

I doubt that Camille has forgiven Emily entirely. She’s probably maintaining the friendship to get back together with Gabriel. She succeeds in this, partially thanks to Emily and her mother’s encouragement.

It was kinda obvious that Camille only pretended to have forgiven Emily.

@@lauragoreni3020 Sure, they do show that she is acting weird, however, she still talks to her, listens to her etc. Even on a tactical point of view its just horrible writing. Why go as far as inviting her to her chateau etc, it is completely unnecessary. As a French person also, tired stereotype after stereotype, this was the last straw I guess

@@lauragoreni3020 Totally agree with you

Yeah, and people have standards for their entertainment. It could have been a fun and cheerful shows without the wtf and xenophobic moments , and everyone would have loved it. But it isn't the case. Just cause it's entertainment it doesn't mean you shouldn't ask yourself questions about what you're actually watching.

Anglos such as yourself love to disguise their xenophobia, racism as entertainment, y'all are culture-less and without morals, it's time for people you sell your "entertainment" to to rise up.

If you can mention 5 movies to me, in which the American protagonist is not; 1. admired for their very American skills or looks or accent or 'modernized fashion.' 2. Serenaded and admired by a local European boy that looks friendly but turns out to be a freak 3. Absolutely stunned by the weird, lazy, strange, hypersexual or blatantly laughable (made up) cultures in Europe ...then I will write you a poem. Good luck, because they're all like that.

I mean , she's also the producer, so she could have changed a few things for the better if she really wanted.

That's true, the show is definitely escapist viewing, and why it became so popular during the pandemic, other than hate watching, naturally!

@@trinaq Yes Trina 😀😀😀

I don't want to be rude though, but you are probably an American, right? Or are you from Europe?

@@vgbcp3rs0na41 No. if u r gonna write something hateful don't even bother writing.

@@yourstruelly_leni____ why not? The show is pure garbage

In Friends, they have a woman called Marga with a heavy Russian accent and she is supposed to be Dutch. Very silent, skinny blonde lady that looks a bit goth-y. Feels really uncomfortable when asked her opinion. And is basically just interested in Chandler and Joey and wants to silently watch them playing basketbal. I mean, the Dutch are known for quite rude jokes, blatantly giving your opinion and Marga is a name that sounds very oldfashioned and I do not know anyone dead or alive that is called Marga.

Wasnt her Name Petra? Thats an old greek name.

Petra is neither Ukrainian or Russian name

@@ZheniaGilday Right, in Ukraine we actually do have a male name Petro but no female equivalent to it. Petra is more like a Czech/Slovakian name

@@choseensoi it does sound Slovakian or Czech.

And proud 🗣️🗣️ I ain't liking this shit series

She had to put something huge to fill her flat chest

SO IT'S STEREOTYPING THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED

@@Tahin4 I think we have whole world of crybabies. That’s why they are offended.

They're amazing, and here, yes, you have to suspend disbelief - did she ever wear the same one twice?

Just imagine the potential it could have had without the wtf moments and the xenophobic representations. I love it too for the escapism, but it could have been much better with little effort.

I’m not even mad at Emily because she didn’t know of the guy’s age.

This whole show is bad. She is a bad person through and through

Pretty much 😂

By the comments, I think French people are uptight. This is not a documentary haha. It’s supposed to be ridiculous and not telling the story of the average Parisian. People act like foreigners don’t come to the United States and don’t speak English. Hell even Spanish. The second biggest language here. Give this girl a break.

I love the show for the escapism, but imagine the potential it could have had if it didn't have the wtt or the xenophobic moments. It's a nice show, but it could have been much better with little to no effort.

@@TheSweetForever hey, I love good writing for my shows, just cause it's entertainment it doesn't mean it shouldn't improve - it actually could use some improvement, and more people would love it instead of bashing it online.

This show is for simple minded chicks who dont need any depth and cant see how fricking dumb all these characters are. It glorifies hedonism to the max.

@@TheSweetForever Exactly.

it's a racist, xenophobic, and offensive display of Paris. The jokes fall flat often, and there is no real, consistent plot line for a majority of the show. Emily is a clumsy and careless friend who could also double as a villian in her friend's life.

If you can mention 5 movies to me, in which the American protagonist is not; 1. admired for their very American skills or looks or accent or 'modernized fashion.' 2.

When it comes to offending people, it really doesn't matter whether they meant it or not. Also, I bet they didn't mean to offend ukrainians by portraying them as dimwitted thieves
