Reception
Cnaan Lipshiz of the Times of Israel wrote an overall positive review of the series and the way it explores French Jewish life. Lipshiz argued that the show should have explored modern ethnic tensions in France and focused more on the friendship between the middle-class Jewish Hazan family and the working-class Muslim Benkakir family.[7]
