After watching Netflix’s new show “Emily in Paris,” I feel like changing my entire career path, learning French and moving to Paris. Created by Darren Star, the same man who created “Sex and the City” 20 years ago, “Emily in Paris” is the story of Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a high-spirited employee of a Chicago
