Lily looked confident as she celebrated the latest Emily In Paris chapter — but early reviews have savaged season four as 'boring.'
The Guardian's Leila Latif slammed Emily In Paris for '[morphing] into a black hole devoid of plot, charisma and intrigue' after four seasons.
They go as far as to say that 'nothing happens' in the first five episodes despite there being ample opportunity for drama via Emily's messy love life and work pressures.
'To say that this is as thrilling as watching paint dry would be a disservice to the many excellent shades of paint,' Latif writes.
They did compliment Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Fields' costumes but described the show's Paris-inspired set design as 'shoddy.'
The Guardian gave Emily In Paris season four, part one a brutal one-star rating.
The Irish Independent's Pat Stacey labeled both the show and Lily's Emily 'annoying' and accused producers of creating a 'whitewashed' version of Paris.
They wrote that the series lacks any 'racial and cultural diversity' outside of a few POC characters and called out the ridiculousness of Emily still being unable to speak French.
