‘Emily in Paris’ Season 3 Is Perfect, Except They Forgot a Big Detail About Gabriel

I have to admit, like so many others, I have mostly been watching Emily in Paris as a guilty pleasure. The show—which has had its fair share of critiques and even caused the validity of the Golden Globes to be questioned—took quite a turn for the good after finding its footing and also having Emily mature a bit as everything seemed to crumble around her. And yet even while the show seemed to hit its stride, it still managed to forget one detail.

It’s a blink and you miss it moment. In fact, when I talked to my coworkers about it, they also didn’t realize this. But in the fifth episode of season 3, Emily opens up a magazine to discover that she made it to La Liste, a list of the most influential people in Paris. She also finds out that Gabriel, whose restaurant she dined at with the list’s writer, also made it. But if you look closely at Gabriel’s mention (at the 22-minute mark, for those of y’all who want to go back), you can see that the hot French chef doesn’t have a last name.

How is it that after three seasons, one of the show’s main characters is still missing a last name?! We’ve even met his grandmother, who he named his restaurant after, but the rest of her name is missing too.

And sure, you can easily say that not every character needs to have a last name. But if you look closely at the two pages that make up La Liste, Gabriel is the only person without one. There’s no way a writer would just let that go and publish a list like this with a single person’s last name missing. They even made a fake profile writing about how great his cooking is (specifically shouting out the mussels), how Normandy inspired him, and how he’s called Le Chef Hot. But no last name.

So Netflix, please give this man a last name, even if it’s just for me to write on my notebook so I can pretend I’m the one who’s going to marry him.
