‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 Gets Worst Rotten Tomatoes Score But Is Streaming No.1 on Netflix

by

Emily in Paris remains a surprising success in the world of television. Despite consistently negative reviews from viewers, the Lily Collins-led Netflix series recently launched its fifth season and continues to be popular, topping the streaming charts. It’s puzzling how the show continues to get renewed when many critically acclaimed series are canceled after just one season.

As a bit of a TV fan, I remember when Emily in Paris first came out in 2020. Lily Collins plays Emily Cooper, a marketing pro who moves to France looking for love, and naturally gets caught up in a bit of a romantic mess while trying to do her job. Honestly, the first season didn’t exactly wow the critics – it scored around 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences weren’t much higher at 54%. It’s interesting to see the latest season has bumped up the critic score to 71%, but it seems viewers are actually less impressed than ever, giving it a series-low 41% rating.

The latest episodes introduced a new format, with Emily moving to Rome for most of Season 5. However, this change hasn’t been well-received, and many viewers seem to be losing interest in the show, no matter where Emily is. As one viewer put it:

“Every season is the same story and it’s become very monotonous and tired.”

Viewership and reviews for the series are declining, mirroring the fading interest in Emily’s love life. While some are calling this season the worst yet and arguing it should have ended after season three, the issues seem to go beyond just a predictable and unoriginal storyline.

‘Emily in Paris’ Called Out Over Errors

Season 5 of Emily in Paris might be the show’s breaking point. Many reviews suggest the creators have lost their spark, and it could be time to wrap up Emily’s story in Europe.

This season has received extra criticism because viewers have noticed several obvious mistakes in the show’s continuity, and they’re pointing them out online. For example, early in the season, Reddit users quickly spotted a scene where Emily appears to be wearing both green high heels and knee-high boots at the same time.

These small mistakes are overshadowed by bigger criticisms of the show’s writing and repetitive storylines. Despite these issues, the series remains incredibly popular on Netflix, proving Emily continues to attract a large audience.
