For those of you who don't know, we faced a TV drought early in the year since many productions being shutdown due to COVID and since most shows that were already shot had already aired. This meant the TV sphere was vacant for some time but this left us with some hidden gems like All Creatures Great and Small, It's a Sin and this.
Lupin is a wonderful show, and like All Creatures Great and Small it's from overseas with none of the cynicism or adult content of premium cable fare like Succession. Lupin feels like the French equivalent to Sherlock, a new re-telling of a famous literary character modified to today's culture to be more with the times. Omar Sy nails it in the role and makes this series such a joy to watch, you're having fun see this character get back at the men who disenfranchised his father. The filmmaking in this batch of episodes is also eye gazing, particularly in the final chapter. If you're into something that has the good guy win, this show is for you. I do hope the writers consider having him go up against Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock, that would be a dream come true.
