Let’s remember that the insipid and pretty-to-look-at Netflix comedy got us through some tough times with its stupidity.
Look, folks, I don’t get it any more than you do.Emily in Paris, anEmmy nominee?
(Yes, I loveHacksandTed Lassotoo, but those nominations were a fait accompli.)
We were eight months into COVID-19 lockdowns, with no end in sight.
We were one month away from a very,veryimportant and divisive presidential election.
We needed distractions, the sillier, the better.
No, this was not a good show, per se.
You know what people didnotwant to watch during COVID lockdown?
Shows about COVID lockdown, like NBC’s short-livedConnectingor Netflix’s quarantine anthologySocial Distance.
Looks like you had the last laugh after all.
