**The series has been created by the scriptwriters George Kay and François Uzan, one is English and the other French. George is the one with more experience, he is also the creator of the Criminal series, which has become a franchise, having its versions in England, France, Spain and Germany. He has also written the scripts for the series The Time, The Tunnel, The Yorkshire Ripper and Killing Eve.**
François Uzan has a shorter career, he has written several series in his country, but now, with the great success of Lupin on Netflix, we will hear his name more often in future productions.
The French series is a modern adaptation of Arsène Lupin, the white-collar thief created by French writer Maurice Leblanc, who became a popular character and the protagonist of many of the detective novels of this successful writer. The character first appeared in a story published in the magazine Je sais Tout in 1905. The author only had one story about Arsène Lupin, but the readers and the director of the magazine liked it so much that the writer had to create more stories about this peculiar thief.
Maurice Leblanc, son of a wealthy family and who studied law, after several years working in different industries, ended up writing the novels that would make him famous. He wrote approximately twenty novels by Arsène Lupin.
**The character became part of the popular culture, although he was a thief, he is not an evil character, on the contrary, he is a good-hearted thief, who steals from people who hurt and are villains.** A kind of Robin Hood, who captivated the readers of the time. The character has been adapted to the theater, television, film and even comic books. There are even novels by other authors with this character. He is compared in wit and skill with another literary character, Sherlock Holmes.

**The story is not about Arsène Lupin. The story of the series is about a man, French of Senegalese origin, who was inspired by the literary adventures of Lupin, to become a thief like the character in the novels, which he started reading after his father's suicide in prison, because the book was a gift to be given on his birthday.**

Assane's origins and his difficult past will make us feel identities with his character, and we will find the keys to why he decides to be a thief, even if he doesn't hurt innocent people. He is a high level thief, whose victims will be the real villains of the story.
He is convinced that his father was innocent, that he never stole that valuable necklace, that 25 years later it has turned up and the rich family plans to auction it off at the Louvre. It is time to find out the whole truth and avenge what was done to his father.
Someone in the Pellegrini family is lying. Hubert, the despot patriarch of the family, who accused Assane's father of stealing the jewel. Anne, Hubert's wife, who, overwhelmed by guilt, was an anonymous benefactor who gave Assane an education at the best school in Paris. Or Juliette, the Pellegrini's daughter, who has known Assane since they were teenagers, there is a sexual tension between them. One of them is hiding the truth and the police were complicit in the whole trap that destroyed Assane's life.

**This thief, an amateur of Lupin, has the modern tools to commit his thefts. From his apartment, he uses technology and computer programs to plan and carry out the robberies. He is smart and always one step ahead of everyone else. The police seem to be idiots, since it is impossible to find the thief, only one of them follows the right path, but his superior does not believe in his theory.**
Assene, like Lupin, is an expert at going unnoticed, disguising himself, pretending to be other people, because it is difficult for the police to catch him. Most of the aliases he uses are anagrams of the name Arsène Lupin.
He is getting closer to the truth and will spare no effort to bring about justice and clear his father's name. The shame of his father, being forced to plead guilty to a crime he did not commit, caused him to take his own life. Now, his son, is a man who dedicates himself to crime to bring about justice and revenge on the family that has hurt him so much.

**The story is full of surprising twists and turns, accompanied by an excellent rhythm that does not let the action go away and the story continues. Nothing is missing or left over.** When this first Lupin adventure ends, we are left wanting more. You are absolutely right, it is a super entertaining product, respecting the spirit of the original novels in which it is inspired. It is a series with a story full of entertaining moments, suspense and humor.

**The first episode has been directed by Louis Leterrier,** a French filmmaker with experience in action movies. He became known as the director of the two films of The Transporter with Jason Statahm, the 2008 version of The Incredible Hulk, the remake of Rage of Titans and the successful film Now You See Me. He does an excellent job in the first episode, introducing us to the character and committing us completely to the story. He also directs the third episode and the rest of the chapters are directed by Angelica Astilla and Chilean filmmaker Marcela Said.
The photography is well taken care of, showing some beautiful images of the current Paris, in charge of the photography are Christophe Nuyens and Martial Schmeltz and the music plays an important role to set important scenes of the story, counting with the work of Mathieu Lamboley, composer of many French films, one of the most recent of Sister in Arms.

###### Finding the right protagonist was an important factor. And what better than one of the most fashionable actors in France, with great charisma, sympathy and experience in comedy, to give him that special touch needed to captivate the audience: Omar Sy.
**Omar Sy plays Assane Diop, the kind of 21st century Lupin who seeks the truth about the false accusation against his father.** The actor became known worldwide when he starred, along with François Cluzet, in the successful film Intouchables. Sy received the Cesar award for best actor and the film won the Goya award for best European film. It was the biggest box office success of 2011 in France, raising more than 400 million Euros. The film has had several remakes, both in Hollywood and in other countries. After that success, he got a lot of work and has participated in many films: X-Men: Days of the Future , Samba , Chocolat , Hell . Knock, Le Chant Loup, Jurassic World and in 2022 he will be in the next film of Jurassic World This is the star of the series, with a character that seems to have been made especially for him. I am sure that his performance has a great influence on the fact that this series has had such a positive reception. Because the actor is great.

**Lupin is a series worth watching. The story is good and entertaining. The performances are perfect, especially Omar Sy as the main character. Each episode is exciting. Netflix has a new franchise to exploit, something they will do, because with only five episodes, the series has been a great success. Do I want to see more of Lupin? Yes, of course you do. Keep it up in the next few seasons, I'll be looking forward to enjoying it.**
I recommend this series. It's five episodes of this first season.
