Lupin Storyline

Twenty-five years ago, Assane Diop’s father Babakar worked as a chauffeur for the wealthy Pellegrini family until he was falsely accused of stealing an expensive diamond necklace. Unable to bear the shame and injustice, Babakar took his own life in prison, leaving young Assane orphaned and alone on the streets of Paris. Now an adult, Assane uses the skills he’s learned and the inspiration from his favorite childhood book about gentleman thief Arsène Lupin to orchestrate elaborate heists and cons. His ultimate goal isn’t wealth—it’s revenge and vindication. Through masterful disguises, meticulous planning, and sheer audacity, Assane systematically dismantles the Pellegrini empire while staying one step ahead of the authorities. Along the way, he struggles to protect his ex-wife Claire and teenage son Raoul from the dangerous consequences of his double life.

Lupin Review

“Lupin” succeeds brilliantly thanks to Omar Sy’s absolutely mesmerizing performance that carries every scene with effortless charisma and emotional depth. The series captures the spirit of classic heist films while adding contemporary relevance, addressing issues of race, class, and systemic injustice in modern France. The intricate heist sequences are genuinely thrilling, showcasing clever twists and misdirections that keep viewers guessing. Director Louis Leterrier brings cinematic quality to each episode, making Paris itself feel like a character with gorgeous cinematography. While some plot points require suspension of disbelief and Part 3 occasionally feels repetitive, the show’s charm never wavers. The supporting cast, particularly Ludivine Sagnier and Soufiane Guerrab, provides solid performances that ground Assane’s fantastical exploits. It’s sophisticated entertainment that respects its audience’s intelligence while delivering pure escapist fun.
