The Summer I Turned PrettyParis Detour Draws Backlash as Jenny Han Answers Critics

Fan backlash intensified following Jenny Han’s public replies to criticism.

Overview

  • The Sept. 3 Paris-set episode became Season 3’s lowest-rated entry on IMDb, with reports citing a 5.1 score after complaints about pacing and plausibility.
  • Viewers questioned international-travel details and flagged perceived product placement tied to an AirTag-assisted chase featured in the episode.
  • Jenny Han responded directly to unhappy commenters on social media — including telling one, “Nobody can be happy all the time” — and fans say some accounts were later blocked.
  • With two episodes left before the Sept. 17 finale, fan-reported sightings point to cast filming in Paris, though Prime Video has not confirmed upcoming storylines.
  • Promotions rolled on as EF Ultimate Break launched a Conrad look-alike contest offering a Paris trip, and Jackie Chung said she does not believe Laurel intentionally mixed up Susannah’s letters.
