When Emmy bought a castle in the French Dordogne, she could see right through the dilapidated building. She saw a future, a finished castle with a vegetable garden. And she dared to pay a considerable amount for that. Her partner thought the dream was a lot less realistic and decided to stay in the Netherlands, while she would refurbish the building on her own. That should work, right?
Castle Lady Emmy
In the second episode of Castle Lady Emmy viewers are beginning to doubt it. Although the castle has prestige, a lot needs to be done. A leaking roof and faltering electricity are not the only ones to do’s on Emmy’s list. Nevertheless, she starts the vegetable garden in good spirits and drinks a glass of wine in the sun at her leisure.
The castle is never finished
The viewers know for sure: this castle will never be finished. “Has anyone ever caught Castle Lady Emmy having any sense of reality?” asks someone on Twitter. “Dear Emmy has so many ideas and ambitions, but so little focus. I’d be surprised if that chateau ever gets finished,” wrote another.
Does somebody have #castlewifeEmmy ever caught having any sense of reality? Or am I just missing the concept of this program?

Nice program. But how she can make money with this is a complete mystery to me.
That renovation will take years.#Castle LadyEmmy— Iris (@Iris00010) June 7, 2022

Admiration for the lady of the castle Emmy
Yet there are also people who admire the way Emmy approaches this French adventure. ‘I wish I was so open-minded in life!’ writes a viewer. “The end result is not Emmy’s goal. The road there is Emmy’s goal,” wrote another. “She has already achieved her goal and is having the time of her life.”
I wish I was this open-minded in life! Just do it how you want and not how it should be done or what is the most sensible. Keeping in mind that it will probably never come true, but live your dream ?#Castle LadyEmmy

Love that indiscretion of Emmy. I’ve never done it, so I think I can. Just do it and see where it ends up. More people should do that. #Castle LadyEmmy

The end result is not Emmy’s goal. The way there is Emmy’s goal. She has already achieved her goal and is having the time of her life.#Castle LadyEmmy
