I’m in love with the character and the imaginative writing of this Netflix series. For those of you with civilized sensibilities, it’s mild violence mixed with a ton of cleverness, so it should be palatable. The main character, " Assane Diop" (Omar Sy), is totally 3-dimensionsal, and the character evolve’s and matures throughout the series. I highly recommend it. In fact, I can’t think of a series that I’ve enjoyed as much as this. I don’t want to say more because watching it all unfold is a big part of its entertainment. Spoilers would indeed be spoilers. ---

I’m fairly impressed how they manage to write him as a sympathetic anti-hero. I mean, the guy’s a thief and pretty unreliable in a lot of ways, yet you still cheer for him anyway. And even more impressively, you manage to cheer for the thief _and_ the cops as well. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Love _Lupin_, hoping for Series 3! Don’t you mean Part 5? Part 4 just released earlier this month. ---

Really fun show. I just wish they wouldn’t wait so long between seasons! (with all series I might add) We are going to start Season 3 so we can get back into it before starting Season 4. ---

Agreed! I checked and, according to the dates I found, almost 3 years to the day passed between part 3 and part 4. ---

Thanks! Our basement (where we watch TV) flooded over the summer, any is still under construction. Something to look forward to when we have use of the TV again. ---

I really enjoyed part 1. Part 2\[1\] dropped a little in quality but was still worth watching. I watched the first episode of season 3 but couldn’t get into it. Diop just wasn’t the same relatable character. Did it get better? Is Part 4 good? * * * 1. Parts 1 and 2 were filmed as a 10-episode single season, but Netflix split it into two. It’s one of the few shows on Netflix that is labeled only by “parts”, not “seasons”. ---

I thought so; it leans a bit more into the interpersonal relationships than previous seasons, but it’s not bad for all of that. ---

I think the reason I lost interest was because in Part 1, it was easy to root for Diop. In Part 2 when his son becomes part of the storyline, I found it more difficult to root for him because you realize he kind of sucks as a father. The arrogance that made him fun in Part 1 became a liability when you see it in relation to his son. I’ll try Part 3 again and see if I like it with fresh eyes. ---

We watched the earlier releases, but now have forgotten it all and will have to start over. ---
