It is that rare and precious thing, an action blockbuster for grown-ups. In fairness, the storytelling in Lupin doesn’t have quite the same taut precision as, say, The Parallax View. ... Even at its weakest, though, the show is so much more exciting than almost anything else on TV. Its glitz and gloss are immersive, its pace propulsive, its twists thrilling.
The series also doesn’t waste a single minute, packing each and every moment full of suspense. Put all of that together, and it’s an early frontrunner to steal a spot as one of the best shows of the year.
If Part 2 has a flaw it’s only that it feels like what it is: a continuation of the previous series, rather than an adventurous leap in a different direction. ... Not a game, maybe, but still a lot of fun.
Kay, an English writer who worked on the BBC America series Killing Eve, brings to Lupin some of his previous show’s impudent spirit, as well as a willingness to tweak its audience’s expectations.
The story bounces around in time, not only showing us Assane’s childhood before and after Babakar’s death, but revisiting aspects of each heist afterward to reveal exactly how he pulled it off. (In that respect, Leterrier’s experience directing the first Now You See Me film comes in very handy.) This kind of fractured narrative could easily get confusing, but the story itself has so much energy that it all flows together nicely.
Lupin’s twists and turns, and a fine performance from Omar Sy (who is also the show’s artistic director, helping to establish the series’ lavish look) makes the show eminently watchable.
The more serious dramatic hairpin turns of Part 2 ring a little false. “Lupin” isn’t a show with enough commitment to make Assane’s exploits work on a level beyond mischief. When things veer toward potential legitimate bloodshed, the show feels out of its depth. It’s a shame, because “Lupin” works at its most whimsical.
Его сравнили с сериалом Шерлок и я решил посмотреть. Не буду отрицать - шарм у сериала есть. Вот только так много различных нестыковок и тупости, что иногда поражает. Ощущение, что смотрю не серьезное кино, а подростковую мыльную оперу. Копы кретины, все, кроме одного. Сам ГГ иногда поступает крайне не логично и не обдумано. Не полный шлак, ну и не шедевр.
The series is extremely overrated
-Extremely weak story line leaving too many questions
-the hero is a typical mary sue
-main villain typical devil white guy
+music
+camera work
A typical overrated modern series about an oppressed hero who knows everything and can do everything...
How? Its a mary sue
The dialogues are poor, it’s funny (but not in a good way) how the plots are unleashed, the hero at times seems like a professional and at others it seems that he doesn’t know what he is doing; there are moments of emotional crisis and the characters from one moment to another pretend nothing happened, everyone is racist and the series makes you see it all the time, the image quality is excellent and the The shots are well done, it’ll be that I’m not an expert because I don’t understand how it can have such a good rating by the "qualified" critics
Et non pas de chance encore une mauvaise série française. Omar Sy est un comique, c'est pourquoi beaucoup de gens l'ont apprécié dans Intouchable. Mais il est assez limité dans les rôles de composition et pour exprimer une large palette de sentiments. Dans Lupin, il est plutôt moyen mais il est pas le seul. Il y a un gros problème de direction d'acteur ici. De plus le scénario est indigent et bien sur n'évite pas les méchants riches racistes blancs contre les opprimés noirs et pauvres, le cahier des charges Netflix quoi, comme on peut le voir dans les distributions des rôles souvent stéréotypés produits par la chaîne. Donc un scénario assez mince est en plus complètement plombé par les situations grotesques qui se succèdent les unes après les autres. Il y a 2 agents de sécurité et 5 policiers pour protéger un collier qui vaut une fortune, on peut assommer quelqu'un avec une poubelle en plastique, on peut échanger quelqu'un dans un parloir d'une prison sans que personne ne remarque rien, il trouve à portée de main dans l'infirmerie exactement le médoc qu'il lui faut pour s'échapper, etc etc. Bon je vais pas faire la liste elle serait plus longue que le scénario. Mais de toute façon peu importe, cette série c'est du fast food, un produit calibré pour plaire à certains, suffit de voir le nombre de 5 étoiles, ce qui correspond quand même dans la notation à chef d’œuvre ...
