Reception
In a review in The New Yorker, Richard Brody claimed that "Represent draws its over-all force from a surprising and audacious idea: an attempt to define, and to redefine, France's political left".[8]
The newspaper Le Monde had a favorable review, with some reservations: "After three furiously funny episodes (...), the series weakens to make way for less political digressions".[9]
