Back for its fifth season, Emily in Paris has been eagerly awaited since the last chapter ended last September. From its very beginning, the series has been the subject of endless debate. Are the short, drama-packed episodes—which follow the protagonist’s fantastical and completely camp life in the French capital—too cheesy to watch, or the very reason the show is impossible to resist? Wherever you land, just lean in and accept how badly you want to see what’s next in the life of Emily Cooper. Last season left her not in Paris but in Rome, with a brand-new love interest, Marcello, the heir to an Italian luxury-cashmere empire. As the story resumes, so does the burning question: Will their relationship deepen, or will Emily find her way back to her first European love, the French chef Gabriel? —Jeanne Malle
