I'm trying something new (to blog a bit more spontaneously) and drop a quick post about something I loved from the week on Fridays.
I'm kicking it off with a rec for the fantastic Netflix series - Lupin.
"Inspired by the adventures of Arsene Lupin, gentleman thief Assane Diop (Omar Sy) sets out to avenge his father for an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family."
French (subtitled), 5 episodes, Season 1
It's hard to put in a genre box but Lupin is clever, fun!, flirty, twisty and oh so addictive.
At 5 episodes it's the perfect binge show. Omar Sy's name is being thrown out there as a possibility for the next James Bond and all I can say to that is YES!!! He definitely gives off that vibe.
Warning: There's a cliffie (I just saw that this will be a 5 part series) but it wasn't a killer cliffie - IMO. I'll be happy to give you a heads up in more detail if you want to know.
I saw this on Netflix when I was looking for something to watch.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch any of it yet? It took a bit to get the hang of things but it was fun!
DeleteI read about this in a magazine recently but I haven't watched it. Good to know you enjoyed it!!!

DeleteOmg what in the world?? That’s what my parents are currently watching!! 🤣 mother just talking about it a few moments ago ahaha nice coincidence!
ReplyDeleteOfcourse I was working when they watched Lupin, but I might end up seeing a bit if it eventually ..

They're ahead of you on this lol
Deleteoh this one looks so intriguing here. Happy to know that you got so much out of it. And good to know it has a cliffhanger. Always helpful.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a bad cliffie
DeleteOoh that looks pretty good. and 5 eps- perfect binge :)
ReplyDeleteIt really was. We watched 2 a night but you could easily do the whole thing in one day.
DeleteI love this show! I stumbled upon it and enjoyed it immensely. Shocking the series has so few episodes. I'm dying to see it continued. Good post!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it great?!
DeleteI hope they already have a S@ lined up. I read there will be 5 but that the next season won't be until next year. That would be sad since it was just the 5 eps.
I don't think this one has popped up on my Netflix yet! Will need to look for it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt just came out so it might take awhile to pop up but it's already a huge hit for them.
DeleteI read the Bridgerton guy is thrown there for Bond too, so everyone is getting Bond buzz
ReplyDeleteI have seen it, but not SEEN it. Started watching Hilda instead, btw, so cute
I think anyone cool and suave is considered next Bond material lol
DeleteI haven't heard of Hilda - I'll have to check it out.
This one is on my very, very long Netflix List(lol), and hope to get to it soon. Seems like lots of people are enjoying it quite a bit, and I enjoy this type of caper story. Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteI hope you do! I'm very slooow making my way through my watchlist lol
DeleteI'm surprised Netflix never showed me this. It pushed Bridgerton at me so hard that I finally gave in last week and watched it. I almost binged the whole season in a day. LoL
ReplyDeleteIt just came out last weekend and for some reason totally took off. I'm sure they'll be pushing it non stop soon lol
DeleteI'm always looking for the next show to binge, so I'll definitely add this to my list!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it! I'm not even into capers or anything but had a lot of fun with it.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed. I'm always surprised at the little known shows that show up.
ReplyDeleteThis just came out and it's already a huge hit. I hope a second season comes soon!
