What the press thinks …

According to Télé Loisirs:
“Adapted from the British series “Marcella”, “Rebecca” sets up a heavy and captivating atmosphere from this promising first episode. Anne Marivin delivers a remarkable performance in the role of Rebecca, just like Benjamin Biolay, whose charisma perfectly suits her character, Julien, the mysterious husband of the heroine.” 4/5

“Complex, captivating, demanding: the new series of TF1 keeps its promises and leaves no respite to the viewer who will be entitled to his share of revelations until the end.” 3.5 / 5
