Lupin (2021 Created by George Kay)

Kay is a British TV writer. Omar Sy is the 'gentleman thief', modelling himself on Arsene Lupin to avenge his father's death. Unfortunately he doesn't get to do that before the end of the five part Series One (perhaps because of the pandemic) and we're left on a cliffhanger in Le Harvre.


Cast: Ludivine Sagnier (ex), Soufiane Guerrab (detective who gets it), Hervé Pierre (the horrible tycoon), Nicole Garcia (his wife), Clotilde Hesme (daughter), Antoine Gouy (jeweller friend), Vincent Londez (rather good as frustrated detective), Fargas Assandé (father), Shirine Boutella (female detective), Etan Simon (son).

The fun in this is to see the broadly smiling gentleman pulling off audacious sleight-of-hand on a grand scale.

Made with verve and featuring lots of our beloved Paris. Music: Matheau Lamboley, photography Christophe Nuyens. Gaumont Television for Netflix.
