Created by George Kay and François Uzan based on the titular gentleman burglar that features in Maurice Leblanc’s fictional works, ‘Lupin’ is a fascinating and enthralling mystery thriller series. Oscillating seamlessly between past and present, the story revolves around Assane Diop, a modern-day incarnation of Arsène Lupin, the thief of thieves. A vigilante hero operating between the corrupted corridors of the legal system, Assane’s fight to bring the evil white bourgeois Hubert Pellegrini under the purview of justice is not only his personal fight but also an indictment against a rooted history of racial oppression.
