A few thoughts on The Devil Wears Prada
Lauren Weisberger wrote the 2003 novel first, and it carries more of Andy's private grievance than the film lets on. For more magazine-world satire and fish-out-of-water striving, Ugly Betty runs the same engine across four seasons, while Emily in Paris chases the glossy-city fantasy with a good deal less bite.
Fashion-world stories about earning your place under a demanding boss
Andy survives Miranda Priestly by learning the industry instead of sneering at it, and this set follows women on the same climb. Emily in Paris and Ugly Betty put an outsider inside a luxury fashion machine, Cruella and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris fight their way into haute couture, Zoolander and Kinky Boots turn the industry's absurdity into comedy, and the original novel is where Miranda first appeared.
Newsroom and office dramas ruled by an intimidating boss
Miranda Priestly runs Runway on fear and impossible deadlines, and these workplace dramas answer to bosses just as unforgiving. The Paper follows an editor holding a tabloid together through one brutal news day, Deadline U.S.A. puts a veteran editor fighting to save his paper, Glengarry Glen Ross traps salesmen under a quota with no mercy, and The Front follows a nobody navigating an industry ruled by unseen power.
