After five seasons (and counting) of Emily in Paris<\/a>, several hallmarks have emerged. Think: maximalist fashion, love triangles, and a timeline that seems to have little basis in reality. All showed up in Season 5 of the Netflix series, including a chronology error that fans called out on social media.<\/p>\n

Calendar Confusion<\/p>\n

The adventures of Emily (Lily Collins) continued when Season 5 premiered on Dec. 18, starting with a multi-episode sojourn in Rome and later a return to Paris. Episodes 6 and 7 centered on two real-life events back in the French capital. Yet, they happened out of order.<\/p>\n

In Episode 6, \u201cThe One Where Emily Goes to the Embassy,\u201d our American in Paris celebrated the Fourth of July<\/a> for the first time abroad. However, an episode later, in \u201cSecond Chances,\u201d she and Agence Grateau helped rebrand their client Apogee Waters as Libid\u2019eau, using the Paris Pride parade for the launch. The event happens annually in late June, which is, of course, before Independence Day in the United States.<\/p>\n

Calling out the \u201cinaccurate timeline\u201d on Reddit on Dec. 25, a fan asked<\/a>, \u201cShouldn\u2019t those episodes have been reversed?\u201d Fellow viewers agreed, and one noted<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019ve learnt to ignore the timeline because it doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another shared<\/a> a similar sentiment, noting that there have been chronology issues \u201csince season 1.\u201d The error also came up in a separate thread<\/a> from Dec. 25, as fans criticized the show for making \u201cthe focus of the Pride episode\u201d a heterosexual couple \u2014 Emily and Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). There, one fan suggested<\/a> that the writers are \u201call just intentionally messing with us when it comes to the timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Is Time?<\/p>\n

Since the beginning, time has been complicated on Emily in Paris<\/a>. Ahead of Season 5, fan Sam Geiger posted a video breakdown<\/a> of the show\u2019s timeline through the first four seasons, pointing out the many inconsistencies and \u201cspring resets\u201d viewers have seen along the way. Though it\u2019s not uncommon for the world of Emily in Paris to include real-life events, they don\u2019t necessarily take place when they\u2019re supposed to. For example, Season 3 seemed to end in late summer, yet Season 4 picked up during Roland-Garros, a tennis tournament that takes place in late May or early June, despite little time having passed for the characters.<\/p>\n

As Geiger summed it up, \u201cEmily\u2019s world exists in a Groundhog Day-style of unstable chronology that will flash back to late spring, early summer at any time.\u201d The unpredictable timeline is just part of the experience.<\/p>\n
