criticism

In German-speaking countries, Riviera received a predominantly positive media response.

"Glamor, thrill and intrigue:" Riviera "offers plenty of visual effects, but even more entanglements including dubious secondary characters, which can then culminate in a sudden death. […] When the crime story is then decorated with Georgina's fantasy of revenge and the soap character of the whole thing becomes apparent, it is no coincidence that one remembers the street sweepers of the eighties - "Dallas" and "Denver Clan". "

- Anke Westphal : Spiegel Online, 2017

“What Neil Jordan, who already developed the idea for the historical-fictional television series“ The Borgias ”, puts into practice in“ Riviera ”is less a gripping thriller or a tragic family story, but an indulgence in elegance. The set, equipment and costumes are top notch. [...] "Riviera" invites you in ten episodes to immerse yourself in his world of beautiful amorality. "

- Ursula Scheer : FAZ, 2017
