What Is Netflix Lupin About?

Lupin: A French Novel Based on the Leblanc's Theorem

The new series, Lupin, is based on the French novels by Maurice Leblanc and follows Assane Diop, a thief and con artist who is trying to avenge his father. The central character of the show is smart and it is fun. There are multiple shocking twists and turns in the story of Lupin.

It can be easy to wonder which of the characters is the smartest as the mystery unfolds in Paris, but the answers may change throughout the first season. The story of Lupin is about a war between two families. On the other side is Assane Diop and his father, Babakar, a hard-working Senegalese immigrant and chauffeur.

The rich, politically connected and over-privileged Pellegrinis were on the other side. Anne, the matriarch of the world of Lupin, should make more intelligent moves with the power she has. Anne is manipulated by multiple characters, including her own husband.

Assane' Biblioth"omy of the Pellegrinis

Assane was introduced to the books by his father, Babakar, a Senegalese immigrant who worked as a valet for the Pellegrinis, a wealthy family that owned a necklace once owned by Marie Antoinette. In the first episode, directed with just enough pedal-to-the-metal intensity by The Transporter filmmaker Louis Leterrier, Assane quickly assembles a team and steals the necklace from the auction by pretending to be a janitor and a wealthy businessman. The events of the series began with the robbery and continued with Assane pursuing vengeance against the Pellegrinis for framing his father for a robbery years ago, which led to Babakar hanging himself in prison.
