Emily is Paris has been a polarizing TV series. It is a huge hit for Netflix, yet it has a ton of detractors over all the French stereotypes that it perpetuates, as well as how it portrays Emily (played by Lily Collins) as an influencer.
As for the critics of the series, Lucas Bravo, the 32-year-old French actor who plays Gabriel, a chef and Emilyโs neighbor, on the series was asked by Cosmopolitan what he thinks of the criticism of the showโs portrayal of the French, he admitted it doesnโt bother him much.

โWeโre portraying clichรฉs and weโre portraying one single vision of Paris. Paris is one of the most diverse cities in the world. We have so many ways of thinking, so many different nationalities, so many different neighborhoods. A lifetime wouldnโt be enough to know everything thatโs going on in Paris. Itโs an entire world in a city,โ the actor explained. โAt some point, if you want to tell a story about Paris, you have to choose an angle. You have to choose a vision. French critics, they didnโt understand the fact that itโs just one vision. Theyโre like, โOh, this is not what Paris is.โ Of course. Paris is many things.โ
