Review of Lupin

Lupin (2021– )
9/10
Fantastic Escapism
14 June 2021
From the conclusion of the first episode I was hooked. I absolutely adore this show. It's a really classy production with some great set pieces and plot twists.

I love how Assane executes all of his schemes by basically using trickery and always having an escape plan.

I also like it how the show, jumps between different timelines, showing us events from Assane's past and how they link to his present day experiences. The show should not be taken 100% seriously. This is not a serious detective drama and is actually quite humorous in places. Some of the plot points can be hard to believe, but it is so satisfying seeing our hero Assane succeed through a series of clever schemes.

I'd never herd of the fictional character Lupin and love how this show's main character is inspired by stories from the Lupin books, as opposed the character actually being Lupin.

Paris is also depicted beautifully in this programme, the production values are incredibly high. Some of the English dubbing for some of secondary characters is weak in places, but it saves me from having to learn French.

There's nothing else like Lupin on TV, and I cannot wait for part 3!
