    It's quite boring. Everybody is a stereotype. There's basically no character development at all except of the main character who gets a pretty lazy super hero background story. If they were at least a little clever it might be fun but everything is so predictable.

    Extremely poor character development, trying to compensate with mild charisma from Omar Sy. Extremely silly and pointless at times, with obvious potholes and impossible situations that are deeply off-putting. Completely boring and cliché backstory with black and grey flashbacks. Very predictable an overall, bad.

    Typical Netflix fare. One-dimensional stereotypical characters, silly cartoonesque plot, completely unbelievable yet predictable. That paid American "professionnal" critics consider this above average, let alone good, would be unfathomable unless one knew the artistic and philosphical degenerescence in that country.

    The obvious flaws between reality and the show are large. It's too made for TV and unbelievable for me.

    The fourth episode is so bad that just made me want to stop watch the whole series.

    Very poor, no realism, Omar Sy plays like Omar Sy in other words it's mediocre as usual with French productions, the scenario is predictable after 10 min of viewing, the characters are not credible, stereotypes and clichés are the watchwords of this series

    Encore une appropriation culturelle. Encore des acteurs qui jouent comme des pieds. Ça devient gênant.

    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 performances and the production — it has that particularly European quality of feeling natural even when it gets stylish — keep the series warm even as the plot is made up of Rube Goldberg contraptions that require everything to go right at just the right time and for human psychology to be 100% predictable.

    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.
