The initial scene thrusts viewers into the world of a janitor in the renowned Louvre Museum. This intentional setup leads viewers to perceive him as an ordinary worker, a cleaner, only to later be astonished and impressed by his extraordinary capabilities. This is Assane Diop (portrayed by Omar Sy).The inspiration for this series stems from Arsene Lupin, a thief (Burglar) known by the illustrious title 'Gentleman.' This is the very book that Assane Diop's father gifted him, combining with his quest for justice and revenge for his father, shaping the current persona of Assane Diop in the Lupin series.
This is the scene where Assane Diop strides into the auction, stepping out of his Land Rover Range Rover.Throughout the first 5 episodes, viewers are taken on a rollercoaster of surprises, with every event seemingly orchestrated flawlessly by Assane Diop. There are breathtaking maneuvers, from eliminating criminal groups, escaping prison, and orchestrating the revelation of his father's death to meticulously planning his revenge. While some scenes may seem implausible, these are minor details overshadowed by the intense emotions the storyline evokes.Watching, I found myself captivated by the gripping and suspenseful nature of each episode, perhaps because it aligns with the type of content I enjoy. Assane Diop seeks vengeance for his unjustly accused father, grappling with the perception that his father was a thief for many years. This event occurred during his adolescence, a sensitive period shaping one's character.
Oh, and did I mention this guy has quite the sense of style? I noticed Assane Diop using iMacs, MacBook Pros, and Apple Watches. He even uses Dyson's Lightcycle desk lamp and rocks a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1s. Currently paused at episode 5 of season 1, I hear there's a second season coming later this year.
