Emily in the doghouse.

Film critics and audiences aren’t the only ones slamming “Emily in Paris” over cultural stereotypes. Netflix’s divisive American-out-of-water dramedy recently fell into the crosshairs of a prominent Ukrainian politician, who deemed the show’s portrayal of his nation’s people “offensive” and inaccurate.

“In ‘Emily in Paris,’ we have a caricature of a Ukrainian woman which is unacceptable,” said Oleksandr Tkachenko, Ukraine’s minister of culture, according to the Guardian.

He was referring to the rom-com’s character Petra, played by actor Daria Panchenko, who is terrified of deportation and is sartorially illiterate. At one point, she even tricks the series’ titular character Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) into stealing clothes and accessories from a shop.

Suffice it to say, the depiction did not sit well with Tkachenko, who issued a complaint to Netflix.

“In the 1990s and 2000s, Ukrainian guys were portrayed mainly as gangsters,” the dismayed diplomat argued in his critique. “Over time this has changed. However, not in this case.”

He added, “Is this how Ukrainians will be seen abroad? Who steal, want to get everything for free, be afraid of deportation? This should not be so.”

Many Ukraine nationals seconded the politician’s sentiment, according to the Mirror, with researcher Olga Matveieva claiming that the Petra character “marginalizes the image of an average Ukrainian woman.”

“Nationality-based stereotyping not only provokes disbalance but maintains aggression,” she said. “Let’s make peace, not offensive jokes.”

Tkachenko claimed that Netflix was “diplomatic” in their response to his complaint and thanked him for the feedback.

“They heard about the concern of Ukrainian viewers with the image of a Ukrainian woman,” the cultural minister insisted, adding that he would collaborate with the streaming platform in 2022 to ensure that “the attitude of Ukrainians is taken into account in future filming.”

In the notoriously hate-watchable “Emily In Paris,” an ambitious 20-something marketing executive is hired to provide an American perspective at a marketing firm in Paris, France.

Ukrainians weren’t the only ones insulted by “EIP,” which portrays the French people as beret-sporting, chain-smoking snobs who cheat on their partners with reckless abandon.

French critic Charles Martin wrote in his 2020 review for Première: “[In ‘Emily in Paris’] we learn that the French are ‘all bad’ (yes, yes), that they are lazy and never arrive at the office before the end of the morning, that they are flirtatious and not really attached to the concept of loyalty, that they are sexist and backward, and of course, that they have a questionable relationship with showering.”

“Yes, no cliché is spared, not even the weakest,” he added.

In a December interview with Elle UK, Collins claimed that the show would be “more inclusive and diverse” in its second run.
