Lupin stars Omar Sy - brilliant as Assane Diop who is inspired by the literary character, Arsene Lupin - a gentleman thief and master of disguise.
It follows his adventures in S1 - stealing a priceless necklace from the Louvre as revenge against a wealthy man who framed his father tears before.
This show is so clever, actioned packed and twisty with excellent acting and I love it!
If you haven't started this series yet this is a great time to binge both seasons (10 episodes total) as S2 wraps everything up tidily while leaving room for more adventures.
Amina Hussein, played by Anjana Vasan, is a nerdy biology student, looking for a husband but becomes their unlikely guitarist.
The show is hilarious, sweet, rebellious and heartbreaking at times as it follows Amina and the wonderful cast of characters.
I really hope there's a second season!
Kevin Can F*ch Himself? 🤣
ReplyDeleteLady Parts sounds intriguing!
lo. Yes, it actually has a funny story behind it. There's a series called Kevin Can Wait starring Kevin James and they fired the actress who starred as his wife and they just killed her off out of nowhere and brought in another actress that had played his wife in another series.
DeleteSo it brought up how disposable these actresses are to these guy driven series.
So this new series is a subversive play on those tropes and a nod to that fiasco lol
LOL. I see.
DeleteWait! Isn't your husband's name Kevin?
ReplyDeleteIt is lol
DeleteI haven't tried Lupin, hmmm
ReplyDeleteI love that show. I feel like no one watches it but it was popular enough to get renewed right away after S1 and will have S3
DeleteOhhh I haven't seen anything else with Alexis in it! I'm going to have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteI like her but the show itself looks pretty interesting.
DeleteI hear so many good things about Lupin. My summer vacation is right around the corner and I might just bingewatch that one!
ReplyDeleteI hope more people discover it. It's such a great show and moves really fast.
DeleteThanks for sharing, Karen! I've never heard of these. I rarely watch tv except for when I'm on the treadmill. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI seem to end up watching things no one else does lol
DeleteOh, I hadn't heard of Lupin, that sounds fabulous. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic show! I wish more people were watching it.
DeleteSince this... my BIL told us we HAD to watch and my son came home from work and said his friends told him he HAD to watch!
DeleteI loved Lupin! It was one of Netflix's most popular shows. Omar was also excellent in an earlier movie "The Intouchables" (2013).
ReplyDeleteI liked the first episodes of "Kevin..." The show jumps visually and emotionally from bright sit-com to dark drama and is compelling.
I'm so excited to hear that someone else is watching Lupin!! I know it does well no one I know watches it.
DeleteOmar is just so riveting, I'll have to check out The Untouchables. Thanks for the rec.
I keep meaning to watch Lupin.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun!
DeleteI need to watch Lupin, I love Omar Sy!
ReplyDeleteWhat else have you seen him in? He's absolutely riveting! The show is awesome and I'm not into heist type of stories at all.
DeleteYou know I'm not a TV watcher, but just seeing that there is a show called Kevin Can F*ck Himself has me intrigued. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe watched the 2 hour premiere and I got to say - I'm not loving it which shocked me. It's totally my kind of show but I'm not feeling it yet.
DeleteI love the premise and some of it but it's on the bubble as to whether I'll want to keep going. I'll try another 1 or 2 episodes.
Awww... I wish I had Peacock; We Are Lady Parts sounds wonderful. 😀
ReplyDeleteIt's great! Do you have internet? Because it's just their streaming app and you can watch for free.
