This show is so unbelievably preposterous and silly that I can't even. My teenage son and I decided we had to watch the first episode because the synopsis was so outlandish. I wish I could see the pitch meeting for this. A Russian princess accidentally Time travels to 2018 where she is able to join the same dance school and has to blend in because 3 teenage-age steam punk are chasing her. You can't make this stuff up. I need to know how this got made. Was it a HS project that won some weird competition? Highlights so far: -graphics in the time portal are hilarious -episode 5 when the steampunk kids go through the portal is so overacted and amazing. -all the hip hop is so incredibly bad and the dance odds and parties have maybe 20 people and are so painfully uncool that it's hillarious.

Find Me In Paris is ultimately not a good show.

There is no swearing, or anything inappropriate. However the plot is cheesy and frankly unrealistic. Also the shows upholds male-dependent views and the main character is spoilt and self-centered. Everything that happens is cliche and it is boring.

1. In season three they start this whole new plot with the four heirs and someone is "the chosen one". Oh we all know who this is, Lena. Of course. Instead of making it Lena, why not it be Frank? Or Nico. The Chosen One being Lena is very cliche.

2. For all you people shipping Max and Lena, I suggest you don't watch this season. Max leaves and "goes to NY for choreographing" Instead of giving this MAJOR character a proper goodbye to his girlfriend. They have him write a letter. A LETTER! So we all know what this means, Lena ends up with Henri and they end the show together in the most cheesy and disgusting way. This is very unrealistic, considering Lena cheated on Henri with Max multiple times. And she has the audacity to shun Henri harshly when Claudine (yes she's back) kisses Henri on the cheek. This shows Lena is self-centered, spoiled, and disgusting honestly.

3. When Nico erases Lena's memories and Max leaves her, she becomes depressed and doesn't want to do anything else. She doesn't have a dance partner anymore so she lines up people to audition to be her dance partner. She even tries to steal other people's partners because she is male-dependent. We have seen this from Lena all throughout the show but it really comes to the fore in season three. This is not a good characteristic to portray to young girls, they will grow up believing that boys are the answer to all their problems. Which is of course, not true.

5. The team also made some very, I will be blunt, stupid decisions with their casting. We see that Thea and Max leave. Max leaves horribly and sends Lena a letter which doesn't mention that he saw his friends step through a portal and someone disappear into thin air. Max was a very crucial part to the show and should have been replaced not written out. A cost-cutting decision, I presume, and they do that again with Thea. She leaves to go on tour as an e toile in 1905. However, the bureau didn't catch her? They were scrutinizing her all this time. It was again unrealistic, and cost-cutting. Instead of hiring another actor they cut her out. The team of FMIP's cost-cutting measures have really hit the show hard, which sowed very well in season three.

6. Romy is introduced as Lena's half sister. This adds yet another line of fluff to the show which wasn't needed. Romy adds absolutely nothing to the show but a waste of minutes. Two of the episodes aren't even worth watching, simply b/c of this. If they wanted this girl to be a major part of the show, why not weave it through the first two seasons. Honestly most of what happens in season three, makes you question the other two seasons. Frankly, you can just watch season three without watching the other two seasons and you'll understand it perfectly.

7. Pinky also leaves the show very strangely, you think he's coming back but he simply writes a letter to Frank and walks off into the distance. Also Clive and Jenna disappear in the middle of the season. Although for Jenna, they did come up with a good reason, being cut. For Clive, he simply said "I'm going back in time to ride the dinosaurs." And never returns. Frank doesn't weep, nor show any emotions. For Pete's sake he doesn't even ask if he's okay or where he is. Quick change from seeing him be deleted and crying out to the sky. I suppose we assume the dinosaurs ate him?

8. We all know the ballet dancing his covered mostly by doubles, bur for heaven's sake at least make their races match up! In one episode we see a caucasian dancer in place of Isaac. Seriously? Can they not have an African American take his place. It looks totally unrealistic and we can see it plainly.

9. The hip-hop dancing has also gotten worse of the past two seasons. It was okay in season one. However, we do see Lena making suggestive body movement and they teach that it's okay to break the rules and have fun b/c int he end it will reward you. Which is not always true. Also, side note, since when do people raised in Paris have english accents? Especially a "Russian" princess. The show is also completely inaccurate with history, Russia wouldn't have been so friendly with France at the time.

This show is not innocent and fun. It upholds all the wrong messages and encourages children, especially girls, that males are the answer to all their problems and if they don't have one they must feel depressed and sad.

If you not only like action, but also like good writing, this is a good show for you! Even though there are many things where I thought "why that again" or "why did they do that" I think its an solid written show with an complex and simple plot. To be honest I liked the show more at the beginning and I didnt like the switch between Max and Nico. I didn't really understand it. And the plot was a bit shaky at times. From getting a timepiece from a boyfriend to get to the year 2018 inadvertently to being the choosen one and fighting against the bereau? Why just not getting back to 1905 and live your normal live with Henri again? But the 1st season was a proper season to be fair. It was simple and didn't really have much mistakes. Overall the writers did an solid job. 7/10.

Just finished season 3. I love Paris, I love dance, and I love time travel, so I should love this show, right? Wrong.

Season 1 problems: 1. The time collectors. Has anyone done a video montage of the time collectors just chasing people? I'm pretty sure that's all they did all season, along with overacting and being over the top silly or dramatic. 2. Thea and the minions. The whole "here's a crew of mean girls with no depth who just care about being above everyone else" trope is SO tired and overdone. Let's leave mean, prissy, popular girls back in 2004.

Season 2: 1. Lex. This girl. I'm sure a big part of the problem is the writing, but I felt like every scene with her in it was cringeworthy. She was trying SO hard to be a villain.

Season 3: WHERE DO I EVEN START? 1. So Max just left? We see nothing of him past when he watched his friends go through a portal, and then we find out (not see, *find out*) that he left a letter for Lena, and just bounced? I don't buy it. It feels like the actor decided to leave the show unexpectedly and the writers/producers were too cheap to transition him out smoothly. 2. Thea/Frank, Ines/Pinky. Both couples sort of break up, but also leave room to get back together, and somehow Ines and Frank get together instead? That felt so awkward and forced. Ines doesn't need a man. Not everyone has to be part of a couple. Don't cram romance into a show where it doesn't fit. 3. Oh yea, by the way, Jeff and Isaac are dating! They set this up in season 2, and then zero mention of it until like halfway through season 3 when Isaac is like, "I thought I was your boyfriend!". Well you could have let the viewers know sooner instead of having them just act like bros for half a season. 3. Lena ends up with Henri?? Okay, what? Am I the only one who didn't see that coming? They spend two seasons building up her romance with Max. Max leaves and they build up this forbidden romance with Nico. Through all three seasons, I never saw an ounce of chemistry between Lena and Henri. It was like they were together just because that's what they knew from before. They put all this time and effort into showing the tension between Lena and her dance partners, and none into Lena and Henri, but they still end up together? Bleh. I would have rather seen her be single and independent.

The set up, while not exactly wonderful, had some interesting moments. But episode 2 immediately drops you into Z-Grade Mean Girls territory. The actresses chewed and spat out every line like they were trying out for Real Hosefraus of TOWIE. Certainly not Parisian young ladies.

Worse yet was the introduction of the Time Cops. A trio of young men who are, by turns, forgettable and vapid. They looked and acted about as threatening as an after dinner mint.

HARD PASS.

The overly obvious stand ins for the dancers was distracting. Bunheads managed to get actresses who could actually dance on a meager budget.

This would be forgivable if any of the women pretending to dance could do more than pretend to act.

Do not look for any of these folks at the Oscars (unless they're warming a seat for someone else).

This show made me feel 10 years old again! It's slightly nonsensical but complete fantastic. It has dancing and time travel via beautiful elaborate time pieces. The dancing isn't the most technically adept. However it suits the demographic of the show. Watch with an open mind and youthful eyes. You'll soon find yourself transported to a younger version of yourself.
