Lupin

That's the way Disney, Marvel and these other big companies should make movies with black people.

In the show no one cares that he is black and that's the way all movies should do it. Not try to make a already white character black, no-no-no.

Make a good original black character and write a good original story to it. (like this series) BOOM you made a great show with a black person.

I would recommend this show to everyone who's interested in crime and drama.

It plays in Paris and the main character is a robber and takes on different identities for his acts.

There's a lot of brilliant plotwists and that makes the show even better.

Parts one and two follow the story of a modern gentleman thief attempting to exact revenge on the man who framed his father years prior.

I really enjoyed part one, I thought it was a fun mystery series with elements of Sherlock Holmes that I really enjoyed. Part one had a stronger 'mastermind' element that I enjoyed (part two was more action heavy, which I enjoyed less).

I watched part 1 shortly after it came out and I loved it! But then I had to wait for part 2. It was a real challenge to get back into the story in part 2, and I found the series suffered for it. Lupin should be watched as a whole in quick succession, and not with months of separation.

I think the premise of the show is excellent, but I am concerned that the quality will lessen if they continue to produce the series. It should end as a mini series in my opinion.

I usually do not like to watch dubbed offerings from Netflix, but this came recommended so I tried it. They did a good job dubbing and if you do not concentrate on the lips, you soon do not notice it at all. It was a fun little series that put you in mind of the old Mission 'impossible series. Sure, there were some stretches but overall it was well done.

All I can figure with the low rating is that they are from people that like non stop chases, gun fights and explosions instead of a story line that you need to follow.

I'm French and I really dislike French series, mostly because they're not realistic enough, the writing is pompous, and the acting is usually awful.

I'm must admint that Lupin is not a super well produced series, but the story and the characters are deep enough to keep watching.

As usual, French cops are stupid AF (which is mostly true) and there's some plot holes and unrealistic stuff (like the cop in S02e02 who fires at Lupin's car. In France, there's strict rules about the use of firearms for the cops).

All in all, it's not amazing compared to some US/UK series, but it"s decent enough to watch and enjoy, and it's above most of the other French series.

Yes, plot holes everywhere, ridiculously unlikely escapes and escapades, and still I enjoyed every minute. The lead character, played by Omar Sy, just sweeps you along with it all. See it as just pure entertainment and don't get too concerned about some the finer details and you can sit back and enjoy the cleverness of some parts, the humour in others and the fun of it all.
