This is precisely what makes it such a compelling series for audiences.

With its shameless absurdity and ridiculous dialogue,Riverdalerelishes in its campiness.

Emily in Parisisn’t a series that’s particularly deep, or even realistic.

What makesEmily in Parissuch a guilty pleasureis thescenic beauty of Paris and its escapist charm.

The constant views of the city are like a perfect stream of Instagram-worthy content.

This is just not a realistic series by any measure.
