So, after a few months of tension, Netflix released the 2nd part of Lupin a while ago.
Making use of the evenings while on holiday, me and Noshi enjoyed as such the final 5 episodes of this pretty awesome series.
Together with Guedira, the police officer and Lupin fan who is onto Diop and his method's, they chase Leonard. he has kidnapped Diop's son Raoul, and brings him to an abandoned mansion to try and trick his father and kill him. As he fails, he sets the car on fire with Raoul still in the trunk, but unbeknownst to both Guedira had saved him from the inferno.
Diop is arrested, but he manages to escape on the road to Paris, and as Pellegrini has used his son to bait him, he now decides to do the same using his old love Juliette, Pellegrini's daughter, and unearthen his dark secrets to the public. Even though Pellegrini seems to get arrested, interference from the minister makes him walk free, so he has to do it all at a fund raiser concert to the public eye.
The show let's us in on how all the preparations went in the weeks before the concert (basically the time period between the kidnapping and the season finale), and unfortunatly Diop is falsely accused for murder. Luckily, Guedira doesn`t believe this and under the name of Ganimard is drafted into the plan to bring about Diop's innoncence (in the murder, he is after all still a thief) and bring justice to Pellegrini and the corrupt commisioner Dumont.
Another great series, though as someone working in the diamond industry perhaps the one downer is that he pays everyone in the polished diamonds from the necklace he stole back in the first episode. There is no way, without a certificate, anyone is going to be able to sell these, let alone prevent from being linked to the crime...
But it was another intelligently put together series, and the flawed main character is a great welcome from all the goodie-two-shoes of mostly stateside based series.
And Thorin liked watching it as well ;-)
