There are few things that we can all agree on in these troubling times, but there are two things that everyone loves: a good fish-out-of-water story, and staring at Netflix for five hours with only brief pauses to go to the bathroom or reheat some baked beans.
In 2020, Collins gave viewers the opportunity to experience both of these pleasures with "Emily in Paris," the Netflix original series that cast her as its eponymous Emily. Her character, a social media specialist, is thrown into an unfamiliar world when her job takes her, quite unexpectedly, to France. There, she spends an entire season sort of stumbling her way through work, interpersonal relationships, and a whole lot of private-time, grown-up stuff. Ballets are attended. Dresses are put on display. At one point, Emily knocks out the power to her block, and her methodology might surprise you.
If all of that sounds like a good old time, you'll be tickled to learn that a second season of "Emily in Paris" is on its way to Netflix in the coming months. While you wait, why not give "Abduction" a spin, and test the power of low expectations.
