Lupin season 1 part 1

 Lupin, dans l'ombre de Arsene is a Netflix series based on the legendary french character or Arsene Lupin, gentleman thief.



Now, like Vikings though, the series is split in half.  The first part of the season aired a month ago, while the second part will be for the second half of 2021...

... and it will be a long wait as this french series starring Omar Sy truly is something great.  Assane Diop saw his father being framed and commit suicide by the Pellegrini family for supposedly stealing a jewelry piece, the necklace of the Queen.  
 

 
For years he plotted his revenge, inspired by a book of Arsene Lupin he had received from his father.  Adopting the methods of his idol, he becomes a fantastic thief and con-artist, all the time working to further his chance of revenge, and now, 25 years later, the moment has come.

Disguising himself he manages to first steal the necklace at an auction, before using his skills to investigate the case, but when he kidnaps a police officer he accidentaly slips up and now the investigator also comes under investigation, having to outsmart not only the corrupt police as well as his target.



The series ends with his family life becoming a target, after he already had the blood on his hands of a friend, putting him under pressure... and us waiting for the second part of the season in tension!

Truly a magnificent series, the way his method is explained near the end of every episode makes you frown, as often you didn`t see it coming or missed some detail.  

Recommended for sure!  Oh, and read the books, I did as a teenager and loved them...
