French accents,bold fashion statements and a love triangle can only mean one thing: Emily In Paris is back.
Lily Collins returns as the title character - Emily Cooper - a young American woman from the Midwest who uproots her life and takes a new job in Paris.
The show returns after a two-year hiatus,though that wait wasn't seemingly long enough for some critics,who savagely bashed the show.
The first five episodes are available to watch on August 15 with viewers having to wait almost an entire month for the second instalment in September.
The latest season had a web of complex storylines to untangle,including Camille's (Camille Razat) shocking pregnancy announcement to Emily's (Lily Collins) intricate love triangle involving her chef neighbour Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and hunky Brit Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
And Emily finally makes her choice,as she and Gabriel finally choose to explore their romance,and declare their love for one another during the mid-season finale.

Another point of contention in this review is how the show ignores the city's racial and cultural diversity,adding,'this fantasy Paris is as whitewashed as Richard Curtis’s Notting Hill.'
However,another piece from The Guardian 's Joel Golby - while admitting the show is 'terrible' - thinks the time has come to 'drop the beef' with the show.
'The point of Emily in Paris is that it isn’t for me – it’s not even particularly for people who are sitting upright – and once you see through all of that,you can: well,“enjoy” is not the right word,exactly. But you can at least appreciate Emily in Paris for what it is,which is: an unashamedly silly,soapy,Technicolor whirlwind of nonsense,' he said.
'It’s a make-work programme for beautiful people who can’t act and a show where,30 episodes in and with 10 more pending,nothing significant has actually happened,' he adds,though he realizes he's 're-igniting' his 'beef' after reflecting more,concluding,'It is beneath every single person who has ever watched it.'
