Lehaut Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Anyone else watched it?https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jan/19/lupin-netflix-surprise-hit-france-omar-syHave watched and enjoyed the first set of episodes. Does not take itself too seriously and is an entertaining story, if you get past the idea that he is a thief. Sick to death of US TV dramas, so good to have alternatives.Next on the list is "dix pour cent" (call my agent) which is also becoming a hit.

Lori Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I saw the first episode of Lupin. It was okay. I will watch more. I think I might have expected too much as it was getting so much press.Haven't seen Call My Agent yet, but will give it a try at some point.

Loiseau Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 "Dix pour cent" is brilliant! At last series 4 is out, but I am rationing myself to one episode a night. "Lupin" is next on my list; friends had told me it was great, so I am looking forward to it.Also on Netflix, I can recommend a couple of excellent French documentary series: "Who killed little Gregory?”, about the 40-year investigation into the death of Gregory Villemin, the police bungling, the anonymous letters and the string of accusations and counter accusations.“Room 2806”, about the rise and fall of Dominique Strauss Khan.

NormanH Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I have watched a couple of each, and although I usually prefer 'detective' style series I found Dix per Cent much more enjoyable.I prefered Engrenages .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I used to watch Arsene Lupin donkey's years ago and enjoyed it. Glad an updated version is good, something to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Wooly I often watch series from all over europe on All4, which you may be able to get if you have VPN and say you are in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 And this post has made me think of another tv series I used to love watching, La Belle Anglaise. There was some good french tv, just some of it was awful. ie Dorothee, or Chantal Goya for the kids, truly truly dreadful both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessfou2 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've been watching Dix pour cent - now up to S1:E6. Complete rubbish, but well-acted and very enjoyable rubbish! I suppose that I should add Lupin to the 'ToDo' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
