Well, I'm just done warching the first five episodes (surprised they didn't drop weekly).
Has anybody else here watched it?
If you haven't and are looking for a fun adventure/crime show with some social commentary, you should, I had a blast.
Spoiler: My thoughts
Show
I like the idea of it not being an adaptation but being about a criminal who is, diegetically, inspired by Leblanc's stories. It helps keep the thing fresh and allows the show to go in its own direction while at the same time tapping into the established formula. I do wish we had some more heist-centric episodes.
Omar Sy is, as always, delightful to watch he really brings in the self-confidence, charisma and sheer fun that Arsène Assane is supposed to have. Also the disguises (also wishes there were more of these) allow him to show his range. And the other actors aren't far behind either, especially Dumont's.
The plot mostly kept me guessing where it wanted to, which is always nice.
What do you think?
Lupin, in Arsène's shadow
