This modern version of the Lupin thieving mysteries is a well written, well executed and above all superbly played addition to the mystery genre. The series centers around our master thief who runs into serious trouble with France's elite at almost every turn, and his ability to outsmart them all.
There is a lot of suspense to be found, as the plots often take you on twists and turns that are unexpected and thrilling. Overall, it's a well executed show with a clear focus on great character development. All the people in the stories are well fleshed out, and it is joy to follow all of them.
The entire production, from music to directing to costumes to writing to acting... it's all done really, really well. My only niggle is that our hero at times seems to get away a little too easy with a few moments when he's out of his usual disguises, which breaks the suspense and the immersion.
But the stories are great, and the finales are worth every second of watching. Highly recommended.
