If you’re anything like me, you probably binge-watched Emily in Paris over the holidays, oohing and ahhing over the clothes, the drama and wondering for the 10,000th time how a marketing executive earns enough to afford designer pieces she seemingly only wears once.
Aside from the cliched will-they-won’t-they plot and the questionable outfits, there was one storyline that struck a little too close to home for me.
Watch the official trailer for Emily in Paris Season 3. Story continues after video.
Now we are (mostly) back at work, I NEED to talk about the Emily-Julien work saga.
In a spoiler alert that will come as a shock to precisely no one, Emily proceeds to muscle her way into Julien’s client book, assigning herself to work on his pitch decks (without asking), completely changing his ideas and taking over his client meetings. She also has the audacity to act shocked when he lashes out at her behaviour.
Who, moi?
I cringed through most of these scenes because I have previously worked with an ‘Emily’. Emilys are overly enthusiastic, chirpy, and more often than not they're workaholics.
