"The clothes are less outlandish this time around, but still aspirational lending the show a strand of Sex and the City DNA (they also share a creator, Darren Star). But, unlike SATC whose spinoff And Just Like That devolved into a mindless mess Emily in Paris is free of any baggage, and at liberty to be as silly as it fancies."
"Ciao and ni hao! says Mindy, who has rejected a job as a judge on Chinese Popstar (I'd rather be judging people in real life than on TV) and is now headed to Italy, just in time to help Emily and her crack marketing team with some #sponsoredcontent (read: singing inside a giant martini glass). Also in town is Alfie: cue an inadvisable fling between the two that instantly breaks all the rules of girl code."
Season five shifts much of the story from Paris to Rome, where Emily balances marketing work with romantic entanglements. Mindy rejects a TV judging job and joins Emily in Italy, contributing musical, sponsored-content performances. Alfie returns and pursues an ill-advised fling with Mindy that breaks girl-code rules. Gabriel follows Emily to Rome and quickly regrets the decision. The season preserves a glossy, fashion-forward aesthetic with fewer sartorial gambles, frequent karaoke moments, and a lighthearted, silly tone that emphasizes style and pleasure over depth or realism.
