Lupin (serial)

In 2 parts - 5 episodes each. Omar Sy is outstanding as Assane Diop, a gentleman burgler who fancies himself the modern version of the fictional character Arsène Lupin. And by all accounts, he is. Diop has one purpose in life... to clear the name of his father who was framed for stealing a multimillion dollar diamond necklace from his employer. Most of the action happens in the present, 25 years after the original theft, but timely flashbacks give us enticing history about many of the characters. In every way, this is a classic action-heist that holds all the pieces together and is entertaining from start to finish. If you are a heist fan, put this on your must see list. 

5 stars (out of 5)
