Lupin
— If the first episode is any indication and you enjoy things like a story about a gentleman burglar avenging the death of his father, "Lupin" is probably worth your while. It’s elegant and stylish but, I suppose having Paris as a backdrop automatically gives it a bit of polish. Omar Sy, as the charismatic thief, exudes style as well. I confess I haven’t read Maurice Leblanc’s novels so I’m not really familiar with the source material, but I like the series and will look forward to more episodes. [Netflix streaming.]

[2021. One Partial Season. Five episodes, 42-52 min./episode. Starring Omar Sy, Ludivine Sagnier, and Clotilde Hesme.]
