Emily in Paris

Emily in Paris is a #Netflix show that uses the Paris city to depict a young woman coming into her own, even and especially as she recognizes that aspect within herself that will never quite fit into her new surroundings.

The Emily of the title is played by Lily Collins, and is drawn with every classic trait associated with millennials: rootless and ambitious enough to take a transfer to a foreign city when her co-worker cannot, blithely confident enough to operate there even without knowing French.

In France to work on social media marketing of luxury goods, Emily does a poor job of selling herself to co-workers, who generally view her with spuriousness, but a great job building her brand online.
