Lily Collins stars as the titular Emily Cooper in the show, a marketing executive who moves from Chicago to Paris to lend her American flair to a French marketing firm.

Never heard of it and that description does not pique my interest. Just eye candy with exotic locations.

RIP Senore Borella.

They said titular! (I snort like Beavis and Butthead)

He was lucky. TV shows die after two seasons.

And what is “Emily in Paris” doing in Italy?

Shouldn’t they change the name?

[irishjuggler]

I’ve seen the show. It’s a stupid, inane rom-com series, BUT, yes, it’s eye candy of travel in France and Italy.

[Diego Borella, who was working as the third assistant director and was hired locally, collapsed and died from a “sudden heart attack”, according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica. He was 47]

Thanks for confirming my thoughts.

I'm not much on streaming so Im often in the dark. Ands who can keep up with all the offerings?

I am a golf nut and a couple friends recommended the show STICK on Apple TV to me. Second episode they introduce a trans character. That's it I'm done.

RIP.

Never seen this but I’d prefer Rochelle, Rochelle (”a young girl’s strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk”) .

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. Top 3 most probable causes of death are:

1. clot shot, or
2. knew too much on the Clintons, or
3. while in Italy he pointed out that the Swedish made Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is faster than a Ferrari.

Sudden heart attack, eh?

And everyone aksed.....

on set in Venice during the filming of the fifth season of Emily In Paris.

They were soooooo close. Almost the right city.

... yes, it’s eye candy of travel in France and Italy.

With plenty of drop dead gorgeous women and girls of all ages, including some excellent musicians and vocalists, plus some fun with traditional Italian village folk.

A "Save The Heroine" from the arrogant French designers, romp.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I don’t suppose he will make director now.

[surrey]

I tried to watch it but couldn’t stand the waif like Lily Collin’s or her ridiculous outfits.

[Romulus]

The Danieli is nice. Wish I could afford to stay there.

[bray]

When was her last vax?

[nickcarraway]

I think it’s a man, but who knows. If he had to travel a lot, he would take them.

[tballard56]

In these situations, you always have to ask the question.

My wife watches the show, so I have seen some of it.
I believe Lily Collins' is the daughter of Phil Collins (of Genesis fame).
