Our Review
Lupin (2021) is a drama and adventure series from Netflix. It premiered on January 8, 2021. Viewers rate it 7.4 out of 10. It is currently running. It runs 4 seasons.
What Lupin Is About
Inspired by the adventures of Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief Assane Diop sets out to avenge his father for an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its drama/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Omar Sy to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Omar Sy lead the cast.
Key roles include Omar Sy as Assane Diop.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, adventure and crime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 7.4/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2021 and carried by Netflix with the series still running, it lands hardest with drama and adventure viewers.
How Lupin Compares
If Lupin lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Lupin comes from Netflix. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Lupin is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Omar Sy doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/adventure roots, It has held up since 2021 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Lupin is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and adventure lane, the audience score holds around 7.4/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.4/10. Watch it if you want drama/adventure you can settle into.
