Title: Lupin
Review: this French series (sub-titles) is the bomb- a magical recounting of Assane Diop (the wonderful Sy) – a gentleman French burglar, trying to avenge the plotted death of his father by a corrupt French millionaire. Diop models himself on his childhood hero, the internationally known French thief, Arsene Lupin, and the show is a whirlwind of sleight of hand, Houdini like escapes and brilliant ploys. The cast is outstanding, the filming in Paris magnificent and each plot a barn burner. Just captivating serial TV. A third season is in the works- can’t wait.
