Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

  The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why.

So I was caught by surprise, and before I realized it, I had binged-watched the entire first season.  Entities and Nature I liked both seasons, but they are undoubtedly different. The first is more about discover
