Review of Lupin

Lupin (2021– )
6/10
A Modern Tribute to the Gentleman Thief
28 January 2024
I recently watched the ten-episode series "Lupin." In a way, it feels like a contemporary take on the adventures of the "gentleman thief." The series draws inspiration from Maurice Leblanc's early 1900s character, Arsène Lupin, which has become a timeless icon.

The plot revolves around a fan of Arsène Lupin, who has been reading his books since childhood and attempts to emulate his behavior. The defining characteristic of Lupin is his gentlemanly approach to crime-he remains uncaptured, refrains from killing, and focuses on exposing the corrupt elite with their intricate webs of organized crime.

Unlike the traditional criminal, Lupin is a master of disguise and wit. The series follows his quest to unveil the top-tier corrupt officials embedded in a web of organized crime.

"Lupin" is a popular French television series created by George Kay and François Uzan, making its debut on Netflix on January 8, 2021.
