I've watched both seasons of this show and I love it. I'm an American and I've been to Paris where I had both bad and good experiences with the way I was treated by the French, waiters in particular. I definitely felt like a fish out of water but I tried to speak a bit of French and chided my friends for saying Thank You when it was so easy to just say Merci! I can relate to how Emily felt when she first arrived and tried to adjust to a new country and environment and how she was treated and condescended to. There has been a lot of criticism of how characters of different nationalities are portrayed in the show, particularly the French and Ukrainian, but all of the characters--the French, British, Ukrainian, American, Korean--they are all portrayed as caricatures of their nationalities. No one is exempt. Even Emily is a bit of a caricature of an American in Paris. So no one should be offended. This is a sweet, delightful, romantic show. So, sit back and enjoy the show and scenery and look forward to season 3!

I don't speak Spanish but I would rather hear a native language spoken and read subtitles (even bad ones) than to have a show dubbed into English. The job is usually poorly done and makes it harder to form a general opinion of a show. The great actors in this cast are always enjoyable to watch but they are pretty much wasted in this movie. The story idea is interesting but it is not developed adequately. It felt choppy, rushed and often silly. I'm not sure who to blame, the scriptwriter, the director, or the editor. I consider this movie a waste of time.
