For one thing, the way this show portrays Juliens fame is extremely confounding.
Either way, everyones sudden obsession with this scandal which is just a series of misunderstandings seems very unusual.
The portrayal of cancel culture feels very broad and cartoonish.
Like, yes, people express outrage about this kind of shit online (and its typically short-lived).
after the whole IG Live fiasco, sending Julien and her friends into full crisis mode once again.
Im sorry, but this girl is not Ariana Grande.
Im just not buying that all these PR measures are necessary for an influencer??
And of course it all ends with Zoya and Julien fighting over bullshit.
Did we know Catherine was a designer?
Also arent they in financial straits?
Wasnt Audrey supposed to leave Constance Billard??
Theres no point in asking these questions.
Anyway, her mother makes this basic coral dress that Audrey thinks will be a best-seller.
But she very stupidly loans it to Julien at truly the worst possible time.
Theres also more beefing between Maxs parents.
[Rolls eyes.]
c’mon just get divorced!
Back at Juliens image-rehabilitation gala, there are a million and one things happening.

Regardless, it feels like were watching 50 different people with 50 different story lines every episode.
And even for an ensemble show, its a lot!
XOXO
I cant tell whether Max actually likes his group of friends.
He feels so isolated from what everyone else is doing.
When was the last time he spoke to Obie?
Now that hes officially cut the cord on Audrey and Aki, Im unsure where he fits in.
Yes, someone actually said the words This is notEmily in Paris.
We need to dive deep into Akis love of film beyond the show just bringing it up in passing.
I think his next story line should be that hes making a documentary.
How dare this raggedy show venture to throw shade atRiverdale, a series that people actually seem to enjoy!
Give her more things to say, some backstory, some depth!
