"Every other man has been better for Emily than Gabriel” — Emily in Paris Season 5 fans are losing patience

Emily in Paris Season 5 came out just a few days ago, and unexpectedly, many fans didn't feel like it was the same show they used to watch over and over again. This time, the story begins in Rome but ends in Paris, where Emily truly belongs.

However, her break-up with Marcello in the finale and a new hope for Gabriel didn't sit well with many viewers. A fan shared on X (previously Twitter):

"It’s time to move past day one endgame and adapt. Every other man has been better for Emily than Gabriel, but they’re still trying to make fetch happen! Marcello was IT! Emily was her best self in Rome why mess that up?! You gave Paris and Gabriel years, move on!"

Marcello Muratori is the character introduced in the fourth chapter of the Netflix series, who isn't just a famous businessman from Rome, but also kind and compatible with Emily. Their chemistry touched many hearts, and the Season 4 finale left many fans divided between Team Marcello and Team Gabriel.

And after watching Emily in Paris Season 5, many didn't like how Marcello's story ended. He wanted Emily to grow in her career and offered her a big position in Rome. However, she declined and returned to Agence Garteau, which is currently struglling with finances.

Fans are disappointed with Emily and Marcello's breakup in Emily in Paris Season 5

Emily in Paris Season 5 continues to make headlines for various reasons, and the backlash over Emily's unexpected breakup is one of them. Fans of the series know that none of Emily's relationships ended on a good note, but with Marcello, it felt like he was the one.

Emily herself admitted that she loves him and feels good to think about a future with him, and throughout their journey, Marcello made sure she got the kind of attention and care she deserved. And after all this, their story ended with a breakup.

A fan talked about the split and wrote on X:

"All these build up of marcello and emily's relationship just for the writers to break them up, i cant believe they ruined it all."

Another fan expressed views on Gabriel and shared:

"He's [Gabriel] a horrible character overall at this point tbh. Just annoying af. I feel like they don't even know what to do with his character anymore (this season proved that they don't know what to do with MOST of the characters as well)."

A tweet reads:

"The new season of Emily in Paris was pretty shit. It felt like nothing really got accomplished and I HATE what they did with Mindy. I love trash tv but this season didn't even feel trashy enough for it to be good."

Another reason why many are criticizing Emily in Paris Season 5 is due to Alfie and Mindy's unexpected romance. The two shared a bed, and Alfie even seemed truly invested in her. However, Mindy accepts Nico's proposal in the end.

Another fan wrote:

"The writers... they introduce a new love interest who is smarter, kinder, hotter, and objectively better than Gabriel in every conceivable way and like clockwork, they find some stupid, contrived reason to blow it up so she can crawl back into that tired, recycled relationship with him Gabriel again..."

The tweet talks about how writers have been introducing men who are better than Gabriel for Emily, and just when it looks like she has found someone, there's a reason to break up. In Emily in Paris Season 5, Cooper broke up with Marcello only because she could not live with him in Rome.

Another tweet reads:

"I’d really like to know who cursed Emily. This is not normal behaviour. How do you fumble two hot men, Alfie and Marcello, because of Gabriel?"

The fan argues that the writers have been offering the same "loop" for viewers in "different outfits", and it's getting frustrating. Marcello brought growth for Cooper in Emily in Paris Season 5, and he even wanted her to have her own business. However, she chose to return to her old team.
