Lupin is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. 3 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Omar Sy's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Lupin keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Lupin its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Inspired by the adventures of Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief Assane Diop sets out to avenge his father for an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family. The writing gets a boost from Omar Sy, who sells every scene they're in. 3 seasons (2021–2023) gave the story room most shows never get. What makes Lupin hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Lupin proves them wrong. The tonal similarities to Monsieur Spade are real, though Lupin carves out its own identity quickly. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Watch Omar Sy work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Lupin is currently airing new episodes, created by George Kay, François Uzan, Marie Roussin, Florent Meyer and Tigran Rosine — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
