Drawn from the escapades of Arsène Lupin, the suave rogue Assane Diop embarks on a quest to seek retribution for the injustice suffered by his father at the hands of a wealthy family…
In its first two parts, the series unfolds the tale of a contemporary gentleman thief on a mission to avenge his father, who was unjustly framed many years ago.
I thoroughly enjoyed the initial installment; it offered an engaging and mysterious storyline, reminiscent of the captivating elements found in Sherlock Holmes. Part one excelled in its portrayal of the ‘mastermind’ aspect, which I found particularly enjoyable. Part two, on the other hand, leaned more towards action, which didn’t resonate with me as much.
I eagerly watched part one shortly after its release and was captivated by it. However, the wait for part two posed a challenge. The gap between the two parts made it harder to re-immerse myself in the storyline, and I felt that the series suffered as a result. Lupin is best experienced as a continuous whole, free from extended separations.
The show’s premise is truly excellent, but I do have concerns that its quality may decline if the series continues for an extended period. In my view, it would be best for Lupin to conclude as a limited series.
