Lupin (serial)

Season 3

Picking up where Season 2 left off, Arsène is in exile, having fled France and been presumed dead. Or actually, not even presumed, but actually buried. His wife and son are still hassled by the media, to the extent that Arsène has to come home and clear his name. Of course he does it with capers and hijinks. Still a great character study and heist series. Love it. 

5 stars (out of 5)

My Life is Murder (serial)

Season 1-3

Lucy Lawless of Xena fame returns home to New Zealand to play a retired detective who just can't let go. Even though retired, the local police call on her every episode to solve a particularly strange or difficult case. And she always does. A light hearted episodic murder-mystery series that neither takes itself too seriously nor wastes our time.
