MC/IMDB equivalent in France:
Most don't like the show. The majority complained about the French clichés, antiquated guns and bad lifeless French actors. A few made fun of the stereotyped French names and the habit-wearing nuns (those habits are from the 60s).
A few loved the show and were positive about the Daryl Dixon character and scenic settings.

Interesting, while currently 13 comments aren't really a statistic.
Will read that "en Français" later. ☼
Sorry, for certain reasons I don't completely trust your summary.

P.S.
70 voters on that site (now and an hour ago) gave Daryl 3.7 out of 5 points.
Means, the Frenchies like the show, n'est-ce pas? 🇫🇷
"Viewer Comments from France"
My topic is about their comments, my doubly illiterate fellow poster.
The most recent comment from Pierre-Paul Bertrand was negative (cliches, outdated) but gave 5 stars because they're happy to see the zombie apocalypse in France.
"Emily in Paris" had similar criticism about cliches. They're stereotyping Americans, too. The loud obnoxious "ugly American" Texan in episode 2 was a hoot.
Unfortunately, the French don't appear to be into forums the same way Americans are. That site is dead.
Good news! I found plenty of french comments on youtube under a review. They're fans! Plenty of positive reviews. I'll put the links in a different panel down below.
French viewpoint. Just turn on translation.
