      The concept of fall is almost theoretical in Dubai (as we are still pretty much bidding summer adieu), but that shouldn’t stop us from embracing the ‘cosy’ changes that come with the season. As the sun has started to set sooner and the air outside is getting chillier, it’s time to cancel those post-work plans to re-watch your go-to comfort TV shows.

      Think about it? You get back home from work, change into your favourite pair of pajamas, make yourself a warm beverage and light a pumpkin spice candle. The home smells warm, festive and cosy — then, you take your favourite blanket, wrap yourself like a burrito and watch an old comfort show that will sooth your senses.
      Is there a better way to spend an evening as a full-time working adult with low social-battery? We don’t think so.
      The Psychology of Comfort TV Shows
      Comfort TV shows, those familiar and reassuring programs we turn to time and again, offer a unique psychological appeal. Here’s a breakdown of why people find solace in rewatching their favorite series:

      Nostalgia and Memory
      Emotional Connection: Rewatching familiar shows triggers positive memories and emotions, creating a sense of comfort and belonging.
      Mental Time Travel: It’s like revisiting a favorite vacation spot. Each episode is a mental time capsule, transporting us back to a simpler time.
      Predictability and Certainty
      Reduced Anxiety: In a world filled with uncertainty, predictable storylines can offer a sense of control and reduce anxiety.
      Familiar Faces: Knowing the characters and their dynamics can be comforting, especially during stressful times.
      Escapism and Relaxation:
      Mental Break: Comfort TV shows provide a much-needed escape from daily stressors, allowing us to relax and unwind.
      Distraction: Focusing on the show’s plot can distract us from our worries and negative thoughts.
      In essence, comfort TV shows offer a psychological escape, a sense of familiarity, and a way to connect with ourselves and others. They provide a much-needed respite from the challenges of everyday life, reminding us of the simple pleasures that can bring joy and contentment. In case you don’t have your own list, here’s our favourite fall shows that are perfect for this time of the year.

      Emily in Paris is coming back for Season 5: Everything to know

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      2 hours ago

      After yet another successful season, Emily in Paris has been renewed for season 5 by Netflix. Lily Collins shared the news on Instagram, while cheekily sipping on a cup of Italian espresso (obviously), hinting on the direction of where the storyline is headed.

      Season 4 ended on yet another cliffhanger about Emily’s love life, but this time, she’s in Rome. let’s breakdown the last installment, shall we?
      If you’ve already watched the 4th season of Emily in Paris, let’s address the most important question — are you team Gabriel or team Marcelo?

      Everyone’s favourite American-in-Paris, Emily, played by Lily Collins returned with the show’s 4th season last month. The second half of the season dropped last week and let’s just say, the drama in her rollercoaster life continued to keep us hooked.
      The season began with the golden confusion that has now become a redundant — will Emily and Gabriel get together? Spoiler alert: they do. But, to everyone’s disappointment, the couple barely makes it out of their honeymoon phase, before calling it quits on the icy French slopes. Reason? Mademoiselle Camille (how original) and an apparent fake pregnancy.

      The will-they-wont they trope between Emily and Gabrielle was stretched for so long, that eventually when they did get together, the chemistry didn’t live up to the amplified hype. Which is why, when a new man was introduced in Emily’s life (sorry, Alife), minutes before the anti-climatic breakup with the resident hot chef, it felt like a welcoming pivot in the story.
      The second half of the season gave us a new internet boyfriend to crush on. Eugenio Franceschini, the Italian actor was roped in to play the part of Marcello Muratori. A refreshing departure from the French and the British hottie, Marcello came in guns blazing for Emily’s heart — the Loro-Piana-style-quiet-lxuury-Italian-old-money story line that he was given also helped.

      Whisking her away to Rome and showing her the city on his classic Italian vespa earned him the brownie points amongst the ladies.
      On the work front, Emily continued being the character that saves the day — all while intermingling it with her already complicated love life. Picture this: Her French ex (Gabriel) is still an existing client, Her British ex (Alfie) works with one of Agence Grateau’s clients, and her soon to be next, Italian fashion Mogul (Marcello), will also be joining the roster.

      With the Muratori’s giving their precious brand to Agence Grateau for revival, Emily has both work and play tying her down to Rome. The season ends for Emily with a new apartment, a new city and a new man — a serious déjà vu to the pilot episode.
      What happens next? Well, that should all unfold in season 5. Until then, au revoir, or, should we now say arrivederci? *wink wink.*

      Run don’t walk: Netflix just dropped the first look of Emily in Paris Season 4

      Emily in Paris Returns: Fashion gets bolder, love Gets Messier in Season 4.

      Calling all Francophiles and hopeless romantics, Netflix has unveiled a first look at the highly-anticipated season 4 of “Emily in Paris,” the Darren Star comedy that’s equal parts fashion inspiration and Parisian escapism.
      All the BTS shots from Emily in Paris S4

      A Recap of Emily’s Parisian Adventures (So Far)
      For those new to the show, the first three seasons follow Emily Cooper, a young American marketing executive who lands her dream job at a Parisian firm. What unfolds is a whirlwind of cultural clashes, career challenges, and of course, a whole lot of love triangles.
      Emily navigates the chic world of Parisian fashion while struggling to master the language and customs. She develops close friendships with her colleagues, particularly Mindy, an aspiring singer, and clashes (but secretly admires) her sophisticated boss, Sylvie.
      The biggest drama, however, revolves around Emily’s love life. Torn between the charming chef Gabriel, her downstairs neighbor, and the kind Brit, Alfie, Emily’s heart (and loyalties) are constantly tested.
      What to Expect in Season 4
      Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger, with Emily caught between her feelings for Gabriel and Alfie, further complicated by the news of Gabriel’s ex, Camille, expecting his baby.
      The first look photos for season 4 hint at a bolder Emily, both in terms of her personality and her fashion choices. Costume designer Marylin Fitoussi promises a “reinterpretation of Parisian fashion codes” with Emily taking more risks and asserting her own unique style.
      The synopsis offers a glimpse into the upcoming chaos: Emily wrestles with her feelings for Gabriel while he prepares for fatherhood, Sylvie faces a personal dilemma, and Mindy’s band scrambles for funds for Eurovision. Underlying it all is the undeniable chemistry between Emily and Gabriel, but with secrets threatening to derail everything.
      A Season Split in Two
      “Emily in Paris” season 4 will be a double feature, premiering in two parts. Part 1 arrives on August 15, 2024, followed by Part 2 on September 12, 2024. So, get ready to binge-watch, ooh la la at the fashion, and gasp at the inevitable romantic entanglements that await Emily in the City of Lights.
