Critical reception

In France, the series received a mostly negative reaction. Pierre Sérisier, writing for Le Monde, called it an "industrial accident".[7] Télérama gave the series a "red card",[8] while Alain Carrazé on Europe 1 referred to it as something from "the 90s" with "cartoonish and ridiculous dialogue".[9]
