Emily in Paris has quickly become a hit on Netflix, with the ten episode first season being renewed for a second season. Yet, despite all its success, another question arose this week seemingly out of nowhere, a question that was not necessarily asked until fans were given an unsolicited answer. How does one actually pronounce the show’s title?

The answer seems obvious. One would believe they would pronounce it the way Emily in Paris is written in English, which leaves little room for interpretation. However, on Wednesday, the day the show was renewed for a second season, Netflix’s Twitter account chimed in on the questions that nobody asked, claiming that, “Emily in Paris is supposed to be pronounced with a French accent so ‘Emily’ and ‘Paris’ rhyme.”

The explanation is confusing. First of all, Emily’s character is an American who’s recently moved to Paris for work, so unless the viewer is supposed to take a French person’s perspective, it makes no sense to pronounce Emily’s name as Émily. The same goes for the word “Paris,” which in French would be pronounced “pah-rhee.” Furthermore, the titular Emily knows very little French because the job was not intended for her, and she agreed to the position last minute, having no time to learn the language. It seems odd that a show named after a woman who barely speaks French would be pronounced with a French accent.

What is even odder is that the title is clearly written in English. If the show was supposed to be pronounced in French, why not give it the full French title, which would be Émily à Paris. While it is in French this way, it’s fair to assume most English viewers would get the gist, especially after watching the first episode. Maybe giving it a French title would’ve mismarketed the American show, but whatever the case, intending an audience to pronounce a title with a specific accent makes very little sense.

This is the least of Emily in Paris’ problems. While the show has been undoubtedly successful, its reception was, at best, mixed. French reviewers specifically were not too fond of the first season, pointing out that the show depicted the French as, “sexist, backward and, of course, [they] have at best a fitful relationship with their showers.” There was, “plenty to feel insulted about,” and Netflix’s tweet will probably not help.

Emily in Paris, created by Darren Star, is a dramedy that follows the life of Emily Cooper, a twenty-something-year-old from Chicago who moves to Paris to bring an American viewpoint to a French marketing firm. It also documents her struggles in adjusting to life, love and culture in France. It stars Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery and Camille Razat. Its first season is available for streaming on Netflix.
