Movie #2183 "Lupin" (t.v. series on netflix) Season 1 --- we really enjoyed this show for several reasons. One, it is a heist type show, which we love. Two, Omar Sy, whom we are great fans of since the wonderful movie "The Intouchables." Three, anything with magic, and this is based on the fictional gentleman thief (film flam artist) named ARSENE Lupin. The basic story concerns a guy (Assane)who met his soulmate in an orphan home where they both lived, and as they grew, they had a son, whom he loves and tries to be the best father for him like his own dad. But Assane's dad's reputation was besmirched by being accused of stealing a necklace and was supposedly so guilt ridden, he hanged himself. Lupin doesn't believe the story about his dad so season 1 is investigating that "story." It does come to an end, but there's a hint that this show will return. I do hope so because we found it most enjoyable. Nice twists and turns. I would give it 4.5 out of 5 --- disclaimer: this show is in French with subtitles (or you can dub in other people's voices).
PS --- supposedly not that faithful to the Lupin books.
