Lupin is a Netflix-produced French crime thriller series created by George Kay and François Uzan and directed by Louis Leterrier, Marcela Said, Ludovic Bernard, Hugo Gélin, Daniel Grou and Xavier Gens. It began streaming on on January 8, 2021. Upon its release, Lupin became Netflix' most successful non-English-language series of all time, maintaining this distinction until Squid Game came out later that year.The show stars Omar Sy in the role of Assane Diop, a professional thief whose father Babakar, an immigrant from Senegal, died by an apparent suicide in his prison cell after his employer, the wealthy and powerful Hubert Pellegrini, framed him for the theft of an expensive diamond necklace that once belonged to Marie-Antoinette.Twenty-five years later, Assane, inspired by his love for Arsène Lupin novels after Babakar gifted him one for his 14th birthday, uses his charisma and his mastery of thievery, subterfuge and disguise, as well as some help from his antiquarian best friend Benjamin, to get revenge on the Pellegrini family and to find proof of his father's innocence. However, Assane struggles to balance his quest for vengeance with his duties to his estranged wife Claire and their young son Raoul. And to complicate matters further, a shrewd police detective—who is also a huge fan of the Lupin stories—has begun to connect the dots regarding Assane's activities.In addition to Sy, the series stars Ludivine Sagnier as Claire Laurent, Antoine Gouy as Benjamin Férel, Soufiane Guerrab as Detective Youssef Guédira, Shirine Boutella as Lieutenant (later Captain) Sofia Belkacem, Hervé Pierre as Hubert Pellegrini, Clotilde Hesme as Juliette Pellegrini, and Etan Simon as Raoul Diop.A second season was released on June 11, 2021, and a third came out on October 5, 2023.It is not related to Lupin III, although they share the same inspiration.

Darker and Edgier: The tone of the series shifts towards the somber with Fabienne's death, and becomes outright dark with Raoul's kidnapping. Once the latter plotline is resolved, however, the lightness of the early episodes returns (to an extent at least).

comment
Four-Philosophy Ensemble: Assane is the Optimist, who possesses an unfailing belief in his own greatness as a Gentleman Thief, and who can get past nearly any obstacle with both Force and Finesse. Hubert Pellegrini is the Cynic, a Corrupt Corporate Executive whose main desire is profit and doesn't care at all about the people he harms in achieving his aims. Benjamin is the Realist, who frequently questions exactly how he and Assane are going to accomplish a certain caper, and acts as the Agent Scully when he senses that Assane is letting his emotions get the better of him. Claire is the Conflicted, as she is always caught between her genuine affection for Assane and her optimism that he can change, and her more pragmatic desire to keep herself and Raoul out of harm's way.

Artistic License – Biology: Assane and Claire's conversation on "Raoul's bridge" in the 2006 flashback suggests that they are aware that their unborn child is going to be a boy. However, it's strongly implied that Claire had discovered that she was pregnant very shortly before revealing it to Assane, meaning that it would have been too early for the baby's biological sex to be determined.

Deal with the Devil

comment
Deal with the Devil: Dumont's descent into villainy began when he accepted Hubert's proposal to frame Babakar for the necklace theft. Claire agrees to turn Assane over to Hubert in exchange for his giving Raoul back to her, although she regrets it and warns Assane before he can get caught. Pretty much all of the disadvantaged kids who joined Keller's boxing club and paid him to pose as their legal guardians. Downplayed slightly in that they weren't aware that they were actually buying their way into a criminal gang.

In the present day, her knowledge of this quirk clues her into the fact that Raoul's basketball coach "Alex", who does the same thing, is actually Assane in disguise.

If It Bleeds, It Leads: The death of Fabienne, a journalist who hasn't worked in twenty-four years, makes headlines in the French papers the day after her body is discovered. One such article, including a photo of "Salvator813" and detailing the pair's fight against Hubert Pellegrini, is spotted by a distraught Claire on the train back from Étretat. She immediately recognizes Assane and, upon reading the piece, realizes to her horror that Hubert is involved in Raoul's kidnapping. Assane's supposed murder of Léonard, when combined with the fact that he was the mastermind behind the Louvre heist, instantly makes him the most famous criminal in France, with his exploits being discussed almost constantly both on TV and in print media. Later on, Assane's "death" is given a huge amount of coverage in the news.

Mythology Gag
 Lupin (2021) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The name of the Andrésy school that Assane attends after his father's death is taken from the maiden name of Arsène Lupin's mother. "Raoul" is canonically Lupin's middle name, and one of his aliases. "Horace Velmont," the name of the businessman whom Benjamin and Assane make up in order to fool Juliette, is another of Lupin's aliases. So are "Jean Daspry" and "Guillaume Berlat," the names Assane gives to Fabienne upon initially meeting her. The number "813," the name of a Lupin book, crops up a few times. "Léonard" was the name of an assassin employed by Josephine Balsamo, one of the primary antagonists in the Lupin books. Benjamin's yellow Fiat 500 is a reference to Lupin III. "Gentleman Cambrioleur," the Jacques Dutronc song that plays as Assane ditches the cops in a speedboat in Chapter 10, was the Ending Theme of the Arsène Lupin TV series that aired in the early 1970s on the ORTF channel and starred Georges Descrières in the title role. Fleur Bélanger's In-Universe story on Assane's connection to ArsèneLupin winds up rekindling public interest in the Lupin books...much as the Netflix series did in Real Life. In episode 3.05 Assane disguises Gu´dira as an art collector named Justin Avisto. "Justin" is the first name of Inspector Ganimard in the Lupin stories. The code for the electronic lock in Claire's apartment is "1864", a reference to Maurice Leblanc's birth year.

Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome: Assane and Claire's relationship gets put through the wringer across the series, from Assane ruining any chance of Claire being a professional violinist, to his cheating and lying, to his not spending enough time with Raoul, to Raoul getting kidnapped as a result of Assane's actions, to Claire betraying Assane to Hubert Pellegrini because she thinks it will save her son, to Assane's activities igniting a media explosion which essentially destroys Claire and Raoul's lives, and a whole lot more. Even so, it's made clear that they'll never stop loving one another.

Impersonating an Officer: Assane often manages to enter places he isn't supposed to by flashing stolen police badges. However, his hasty attempt to pull this trick during his first attempt to steal the Black Pearl (Part 3, Chapter 1) falls apart pretty quickly when it becomes apparent that he pickpocketed the guy who tackled him to the floor. The fact the badges contain photographic ID didn't help, either.

Frame-Up

comment
Frameup: Assane's father was accused by Hubert Pellegrini of stealing Marie-Antoinette's necklace in the 1990s. Anne Pellegrini then made him sign a fake confession for the theft, after which he gets sent to prison. The whole ordeal is set up to make it look as if it drove him to commit suicide, but it's later revealed that Hubert's Mook Léonard actually killed him. Assane attempts to frame Léonard for being behind the robbery of the necklace by slipping one of the diamonds into his pocket and then calling the police; however, the cops find out that he bears little physical resemblance to descriptions of the actual thief (which is to say, Assane) and that he has a solid alibi for the time of the theft, so he is released. It's also entirely possible that Dumont called in a favor to get him out. Hubert tries to remove two of his problems at once by having Léonard murdered and framing Assane for it. In Part 3, Assane and Benjamin plan to steal a bracelet together, but at the behest of Mariama's kidnappers, Assane sets Benjamin up as the Fall Guy.

Crystal-Ball Scheduling: While it's not a direct adaptation of the Arsène Lupin stories, it essentially updates them for the twenty-first century, with Assane recreating some of Lupin's famous heists, and with many of the other characters being inspired by actual Lupin characters. Usually, in-story, this is referenced by someone in the episode (most often Guédira or Raoul) reading the corresponding Lupin adventure, and at least in the early episodes the stories were in publishing order.

Incredibly Obvious Tail
 Lupin (2021) / int_3266ed59
comment
As revenge for Assane getting Manon sent to prison, Keller orders his henchman, Ferdinand, to kill Claire. Unfortunately for Keller, Ferdinand makes a complete hash of it, first following Claire through the streets of Paris in an Incredibly Obvious Tail (she spots him easily and manages to escape in a cab), and then stalking her while she's in a crowded department store, shopping for basketball shoes for Raoul. Seemingly as a punishment for failing to get to Claire, as well as general frustration that all of his plans are going wrong, Keller tosses Ferdinand off of a balcony. This only serves to badly injure and alienate Ferdinand, who—in a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal—gives Keller's name up to the police shortly afterward.

A Birthday, Not a Break: Apparently, Babakar died around the time of his son's birthday. After the funeral, Assane finds the present (an Arsène Lupin book) that his father had intended to give to him. Poor Raoul gets kidnapped and nearly killed on his fourteenth birthday. His fifteenth birthday doesn't seem to have been that great either since it occurred two days after Assane's funeral.

Black and Nerdy: Assane is a Lupin-loving nerd, and it seems like Babakar was a fan of the stories before him. Raoul may count, too, although he's mixed-race since his mother is Caucasian.

Batman Gambit

Batman Gambit: The Marie Antoinette necklace heist has Assane expecting his gang to betray him and turn all the police attention on themselves like thugs of their kind usually do, thereby allowing him to steal the necklace under everyone's noses while throwing the fake one on the ground. Assane understands Juliette's nostalgia for their old fling well enough to know exactly what to do and say to her so that she'll fall further and further into his arms and turn on her father.

Actor Allusion
 Lupin (2021) / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: There are a number of possible references to Intouchables, the film which first made Omar Sy (as Driss) an international success: Assane's dancing to the Four Tops in his apartment seems to be a nod to Driss dancing to "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire. In Intouchables, Driss steals a Fabergé egg from Philippe, his wealthy employer. In Lupin, Assane repeats the feat while scamming a rich older woman. There's also a scene in which Fabienne states that Hubert Pellegrini is "untouchable." Assane's final disguise as a fireman looks a lot like Omar Sy's Bishop get-up from X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Bad Liar
 Lupin (2021) / int_3cb6468e
comment
In episode 3.05, Raoul tells Claire that she is a Bad Liar, suggesting that she gets a Deer in the Headlights expression whenever she does it. However, over the course of the series we see Claire lie successfully on a number of occasions, including later in that very episode when she tricks Benjamin into revealing that Assane is alive. A potential explanation for this is that she just struggles to lie convincingly to Raoul, since he's her son.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Lupin (2021) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Assane's James Bond-esque lifestyle wreaks havoc on his family life: he and Claire have separated, he isn't around for his son as much as he wants to be, and worse, Pellegrini has Léonard kidnap Raoul at the end of Part 1 and nearly kills him, which further strains his relationship with Claire, who considers cutting Assane completely out her and Raoul's lives for the sake of their safety. The chloroform spray Assane gives the loan sharks for the Louvre heist doesn't knock out the security guards right away, forcing them to beat the guards unconscious. Assane assigns one of the loan sharks (who's into racing games) to be the getaway driver for the Louvre heist. However, come the actual heist, the guy gets a red Ferrari as a getaway car, that while fast and cool looking, ends up attracting the police when the heist goes south. Also, it turns out that video games are the only experience the dude has in driving fast cars, leading to the escape going wrong when he can't handle driving the Ferrari and ends up crashing into a statue under a glass skylight. Assane is able to fool people with disguises, but when the police find out his identity and post his picture everywhere, he has difficulty fooling people with his costumes, especially with his distinctive features (his wide nose and his height). Assane succeeds in clearing his and Babakar's names (for Léonard's murder and the theft of the necklace, respectively), while also getting Hubert and Dumont arrested for conspiracy and collusion. However, he's still wanted for multiple high-profile thefts that he was genuinely responsible for, meaning that he has to go into hiding after stopping to say goodbye to Claire and Raoul. The season 3 premiere shows how much of a negative impact Assane's actions have had on Claire and Raoul. They are the subject of vicious media scrutiny that causes them no end of stress, are repeatedly harassed, and are being observed by the police. Turns out that being the wife and son of France's most famous thief isn't fun.

Bittersweet Ending
 Lupin (2021) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The ending to Part 2, which has Assane, having seen off both Hubert and Dumont, finally reuniting with his family but telling them that he needs to leave town for a while to keep them safe. Part 3 has one as well. To summarize: Assane turns himself in to the police in return for his family's safety and Benjamin's release. Although she's now free from media harassment, Claire is distraught that she, Raoul and Assane will once again not be able to be together. Oh, and Assane's old friends the Pellegrinis are back on the scene in a major way. Plus, it's vaguely implied that Mariama is not quite what she seems. The only characters who really get a happy ending are Manon and Bruno, who decide to re-open Keller's old boxing club, but without the toxic masculinity and with a Lupin-inspired theme.

Characterization Marches On
 Lupin (2021) / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Most of the supporting characters experienced this in some capacity as their personalities got defined more clearly in Part 3. Claire started out as a fairly archetypal Wet Blanket Wife who spent most of her time onscreen being absolutely horrified by the events that were going on around her, such that she was regularly reduced to tears. She's since become a bit braver and more playful, gaining a rather mischievous streak while still remaining The Heart overall. Ironically, this shift has brought her adult characterization closer to how she'd always been depicted as a teenager in the 1990s flashbacks. Parts 1 and 2 showed her making a concerted effort to move on from Assane by dating other men, but in Part 3 it's strongly implied that she has a Single-Target Sexuality for him. Benjamin was initially something of a Pragmatic Anti Hero, as Assane's voiceover narration during his introduction described him as someone with questionable morals but Undying Loyalty. Over time he transitioned into being more of a Nice Guy, with a greater emphasis placed on his helpfulness and his protective attitude towards Claire and Raoul. Guédira went from being a Perpetual Frowner and Sickly Neurotic Geek—with Belkacem even commenting sarcastically about his always looking unwell—to a Ditzy Genius with No Social Skills as the show played up his various eccentricities. He's also gotten more confident and proactive about directly going against the wishes of his superiors in the police department, thus becoming a particularly nerdy variant of the Cowboy Cop. Belkacem has retained her Hair-Trigger Temper, but her impulsivity and Gun Nut tendencies have been toned down after she took Laugier's old role as The Captain. Raoul has gotten a bit more assertive, and in Part 3 he demonstrates a heretofore unknown interest in basketball.

Informed Attractiveness: Juliette is characterized as the sexier of Assane's two love interests, contrasting Claire who is supposedly the plain one. Although Juliette does dress a lot more elegantly than Claire, she's not really any more or less pretty—and if anything Juliette's rather severe facial features make her the more unconventionally attractive of the two. Funnily enough, Ludivine Sagnier (Claire) is known for frequently being a Ms. Fanservice, while Clotilde Hesme (Juliette) tends to play Tomboys.

Culturally Sensitive Adaptation: Depends on the extent to which one views this as an adaptation, but the show's values are certainly more in tune with modern ones than those of its inspiration. Adaptational Diversity ensures that the racial identities of the characters are more reflective of the current population of Paris (not just Assane, but also via the likes of Guédira and Belkacem). Additionally, while most of the original Arsène Lupin's girlfriends were disposable Girls Of The Week, Assane has a long-term love interest with whom he has a child.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Assane's voiceover in the debut episode implies that he subscribes to the philosophy of I Work Alone, only involving others in his plans when he really needs to. While he actually sticks to this credo early on in the show, starting with Chapter 4 in Part 1 nearly every caper he undertakes sees him enlist the help of at least one trusted accomplice. One of the very first scenes in the show has Claire forgive Assane for being late on a scheduled alimony payment that he is supposed to make to her, suggesting a far more formalized nature to their separation than what is depicted in the rest of the series.

I Work Alone
 Lupin (2021) / int_5571b706
comment
Assane's voiceover in the debut episode implies that he subscribes to the philosophy of I Work Alone, only involving others in his plans when he really needs to. While he actually sticks to this credo early on in the show, starting with Chapter 4 in Part 1 nearly every caper he undertakes sees him enlist the help of at least one trusted accomplice.

Visit by Divorced Dad: Assane takes Raoul on a walk and offers him the Arsène Lupin novel he got from his father at the end of the first episode. Later, he visits Raoul and plays video games with him. These end when Claire, furious with Assane after Raoul's kidnapping and horrified by the danger that he has brought into their lives, bans him from contacting them. This doesn't last too long, though, since Claire can seemingly never stay upset with Assane for much time.

Friendly Enemy: Although Assane and Guédira are operating on opposite sides of the law, the two clearly have a good deal of respect for one another, particularly after Guédira saves Raoul from a fiery death. Guédira, meanwhile, can't help but think that the idea of being the Ganimard in a real-life Lupin story is just so cool.

Adaptation Amalgamation: The show mixes and matches elements from different Arsène Lupin stories rather than making any attempt to adapt them directly. Justified in that it's not a true adaptation but rather the story of a man who is inspired by the Lupin books.

Long Game: It's slowly revealed across the final three episodes how involved Assane and Benjamin's plan to get Hubert to face justice at the charity concert was, from Assane's courtship of Juliette, to the disguising of Philippe Courbet, even down to Assane leaving an electronic watch in Claire's apartment that would go off when the whole thing was finished so that he would get to see her and Raoul one more time.

Meaningful Name: "Assane" sounds a lot like the French pronunciation of "Arsène," although it's not entirely clear whether or not this was intentional. Fabienne's dog is named J'accuse ("I accuse"). This was the title of famous letter by Emile Zola that became part of the Dreyfus Affair, a racially-motivated Miscarriage of Justice in which a Jewish man was falsely imprisoned for theft, not unlike what happened to Assane's father.

Assane's father was accused by Hubert Pellegrini of stealing Marie-Antoinette's necklace in the 1990s. Anne Pellegrini then made him sign a fake confession for the theft, after which he gets sent to prison. The whole ordeal is set up to make it look as if it drove him to commit suicide, but it's later revealed that Hubert's Mook Léonard actually killed him.

comment
Idiot Ball: Lorenzo the music store owner may have been a racist Jerkass, but Assane could still have just asked Benjamin to help him rent a violin for Claire rather than going straight in and stealing the most expensive one in the store. Possible the most glaring example—why on earth didn't Assane make copies of Fabienne's tape? Assane's decision to go on The Other Edition. Even ignoring his failure to factor in the potential issue of the host being friends with Hubert, the "Salvator" tweet was already gaining a lot of traction, and he could have done more damage anyway by just leaking the footage online. Why wasn't Guédira's lead taken more seriously by the police in general? Sure, it was a little...whimsical, but it was the only thing they had, and it made a lot of sense. In attempt to stop Assane from getting away after his successful carjacking at the gas station, Belkacem fires a gun directly into oncoming traffic. It doesn't exactly take a genius to figure out why that's an awful idea. Pascal and the other officers agreeing to let Claire have a moment alone with Raoul when Assane brought him back home. Upon seeing Assane, she tells him to flee, and the police are unable to find him when they show up. Assane manages to convince Madame Simon, the receptionist at the Maison Everlin, that he isn't actually Assane Diop—because he has brown eyes. Much to her embarrassment, she is later informed that Assane does in fact have brown eyes. This becomes even funnier when you consider that, from a genetic perspective, it's extremely improbable that someone whose skin is as dark as Assane's would have anything but brown eyes. Dr. Martinez, the head mortician, is somehow fine with taking Dr. Vernes' proclamation of Assane's death and its cause at face value, despite the fact that he's literally never seen Vernes (aka Philippe Courbet) before in his life and has no clue who he is, let alone his qualifications. Belkacem undergoing Aesop Amnesia and once again failing to listen to Guédira's ideas about how and why Assane could have faked his death. As revenge for Assane getting Manon sent to prison, Keller orders his henchman, Ferdinand, to kill Claire. Unfortunately for Keller, Ferdinand makes a complete hash of it, first following Claire through the streets of Paris in an Incredibly Obvious Tail (she spots him easily and manages to escape in a cab), and then stalking her while she's in a crowded department store, shopping for basketball shoes for Raoul. Seemingly as a punishment for failing to get to Claire, as well as general frustration that all of his plans are going wrong, Keller tosses Ferdinand off of a balcony. This only serves to badly injure and alienate Ferdinand, who—in a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal—gives Keller's name up to the police shortly afterward. Keller isn't suspicious when Manon (who has recently turned on him) calls him up and instructs him to meet the buyer for the black pearl at the top of the Arc de Triomphe—you know, an extremely famous, touristy location whose exits can easily be blocked.

Big Bad Ensemble: Hubert Pellegrini, his associates, and the police all function as antagonists in the series, although (aside from Dumont) the last of these may be more accurately described as Hero Antagonists, since their main desire is simply to do their job by capturing a notorious criminal. And by the end, the three-officer unit of Laugier, Belkacem and Guédira have pretty much crossed over into being protagonists, as they're the ones who wind up taking Hubert and Dumont into custody. Keller and his crew fulfill this role in Part 3.

comment
Once More, with Clarity: Episode 1.01: Assane got his Louvre janitor job because the woman in charge originates from Senegal just like him so they easily bonded over it, he lied about his identity to the loan sharks and threw the necklace in a trash can in the struggle in order to retrieve it later as a janitor. And he expected them to betray him all along. Episode 1.02: How Assane fakes suicide to get out of prison — he built himself a safety harness with a basketball basket's net so the hanging won't be fatal, and swallowed some meds to reduce his heartbeats. Episode 2.03: Assane planned every bit of his supposedly "spontaneous" date with Juliette, up to faking her meeting with an investor and bribing the wait staff at the restaurant, as well as faking the heist of a painting at a museum. Episode 3.02: Assane planned to fake his death in order to draw media attention away from Claire and Raoul so that they would finally be able to run off together as a family. Too bad the reappearance of his mother made him throw those plans in the trash.

The Cuckoolander Was Right
 Lupin (2021) / int_75979171
comment
The Cuckoolander Was Right: The other police officers are alternately amused or dismayed by Guédira's attempts to link the crimes they are investigating with the Arsène Lupin stories; however, this makes him the only one who is able to deduce what Assane's plans really are. Eventually, Laugier and Belkacem realize that he was correct about essentially everything and begin to trust his insights more and more. In Part 3, the series' resident Lupin nerds Guédira and Raoul are both convinced that Assane is faking his death. Belkacem dismisses Guédira's ideas out of hand, while Claire worries that Raoul hasn't progressed past the denial stage of grief. The two cloudcuckoolanders are ultimately proved right, although the reactions of their minders couldn't be more different: Claire breaks down in Tears of Joy while Belkacem is furious.

To throw the police off the trail, Assane pretends to offload Dumont onto a van heading for a Parisian suburb, while actually bringing him to a room in the depths of City Hall (which is to say, the same building he'd kidnapped him from). Unfortunately played straight with Léonard's kidnapping of Raoul. Then again in a more positive light when Assane uses a Van in Black to re-kidnap him from Hubert's goons. Keller's crew kidnaps Mariama by offering her a ride.

Mistaken for Racist: Played with in that Assane uses his wealthy but socially conscious targets' fear of this to his advantage.

Chevalier vs. Rogue: Teenaged Claire invokes this trope near verbatim when she suggests that there are two kinds of men (and initially claims not to like either category, although she's more than willing to accept Assane as a companion even after designating him as a "chevalier"). Assane later claims that he's a third type, the "gentleman", which moves Claire to kiss him.

comment
At another point, teenaged Claire sees Assane reading his Arsène Lupin book and says, "c'est un chaud Lupin, non?" This is a Pun based on the French expression "un chaud lapin," literally meaning "a hot rabbit" and used to refer to someone who is The Casanova. The subtitles try to get around the impossibility of directly translating this by having her say that Lupin is "kind of a Romeo," but the cleverness of the original joke is lost.

First-Episode Twist: When we're first introduced to Assane, he seems to be little more than a down-on-his-luck janitor who struggles to pay alimony to his ex-wife and comes up with a harebrained scheme to rob the Louvre in order to make a quick sum. By the end of the first episode, we learn that none of this is true.

Alternate Universe: The first two parts of the series are set in 2020 (as seen on various newspapers and with a mention of Raoul's birthday on December 11, 2020), but there isn't a single visible sign of the COVID-19 Pandemic (restaurants are open while they weren't in France back then, and no one wears a protective mask), which 2020 will be forever associated with. It would probably have been too impractical to include it in the plot, and half of the series was filmed before it broke out.

Juliette experiences this when she finds out that the father she's been close with her entire life is a murderous monster who wanted to steal millions of euros from her own foundation. Manon, when Assane tells her the full story of how Keller took advantage of everyone he claimed to be protecting.

Females Are More Innocent: Anne and Juliette Pellegrini are, respectively, uninvolved in and unaware of Hubert's crimes. Claire absents herself from Assane's criminal life, though she does know about it. Downplayed somewhat as the series goes on, however, as she gets a number of Corrupt the Cutie moments which have her snooping around and manipulating or tricking others in a Lupin-esque fashion. Averted for Manon, who plays The Dragon to Keller (although even she winds up doing a Heel–Face Turn).

Fake Charity: Played with. Juliette, like all of her wealthy donors, fully believes that her foundation for disadvantaged children is entirely legitimate. However, Hubert has set things up so that 85% of the donations go to a personal offshore bank account in the Cayman Islands, which renders the entire project a scam. Luckily, Assane and Benjamin manage to reroute the money back to the foundation.

Anachronic Order: The present timeline is regularly intercut with flashbacks which contextualize the events occurring currently, or represent analogous situations which Assane remembers in order to figure out the best course of action. The flashbacks in Part 3 take a slightly different approach, following a linear storyline in which Assane joins a boxing club. It's not until around two thirds of the way through the season that it becomes clear exactly how this is relevant to the present-day events.

Good Angel, Bad Angel: The flashback sequences in Part 3 have this dynamic, as Assane is pulled between the contrasting influences of Claire (the kindhearted, pacifistic Good Angel) and Keller (the controlling, violent Bad Angel).

He even gains her trust by playing on her disdain for the poor.

Rewatch Bonus: In the prison flashback scene in the first episode, there's a brief glimpse of Léonard through the visiting room window... right before Assane's father is found dead as an apparent suicide, hanging in his cell. A few episodes later, in the present, Fabienne is murdered by Léonard who makes it look like a suicide by hanging. It's revealed in the final episode of Part 2 that Léonard was indeed the one who killed Babakar.

Mundane Object Amazement: While searching Assane's apartment for evidence following Léonard's murder, Guédira is fascinated by his extensive collection of Arsène Lupin memorabilia. Laugier and Belkacem find this amusing.

Early Personality Signs
 Lupin (2021) / int_a1a46946
comment
Early Personality Signs: Assane is characterized by his dislike for formal authority, his ability to think quickly in a crisis and his willingness to attempt daring feats. His fourteen-year-old self demonstrates this by trying to escape out a window rather than being taken to social services by Dumont after Babakar's death. Benjamin is always willing to help Assane out, but prefers to do it in a more "behind-the-scenes" fashion. He assists Assane in his theft of a violin...by offering to stand outside and keep watch. In 1995, Claire tries to stop Assane from fighting their bullies on her behalf (but he does it anyway, and she winds up giving him an After Action Patch Up). In the present, although she still cares about Assane, she prefers to stay away from his criminal life and instead focuses on raising their son while supporting them by working at a hospital.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Happens in the 1995 flashbacks, where Assane and Babakar both experience fairly blatant, unapologetic racism and classism (Assane is still on the receiving end of this in the present timeline, but it's a lot less overt). Claire, meanwhile, gets sexually harassed by a group of boys on a regular basis.

Dramatic Irony: Played for Laughs during the subplot in which Claire begins falling for Raoul's basketball coach Alex, unaware that he is actually Assane in heavy prosthetics. This gets flipped around when Claire discovers the coach's true identity. She chooses not to tell Assane that she's found him out and instead behaves very flirtatiously towards "Alex" in order to make him squirm.

In Part 3, the series' resident Lupin nerds Guédira and Raoul are both convinced that Assane is faking his death. Belkacem dismisses Guédira's ideas out of hand, while Claire worries that Raoul hasn't progressed past the denial stage of grief. The two cloudcuckoolanders are ultimately proved right, although the reactions of their minders couldn't be more different: Claire breaks down in Tears of Joy while Belkacem is furious.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The episodes are called "chapters" and the seasons are called "parts". To underscore the fact that Part 2 is a continuation of Part 1, its chapters are numbered 6 through 10, rather than 1 through 5. For Part 3, which begins an entirely new set of story arcs, the counter resets to 1.

Beauty, Brains and Brawn
 Lupin (2021) / int_aff29d6f
comment
Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Can apply to the major female characters in the series. Juliette represents beauty: a tall, sophisticated heiress who clearly invests a lot of time into looking her best, but who tends towards naiveté and thus gets taken for a ride—both literally and metaphorically—by Assane. Claire represents brains: an unassuming yet quick-witted single mother who is an Excellent Judge of Character and, being one of the very few people who truly understands Assane, is even able to get the better of him on occasion. Belkacem represents brawn: a tough, Tsundere-ish Action Girl who makes up for her relative lack of cleverness with her tenacity and grit. Part 3 introduces new female characters in Manon and Fleur, who can be grouped under brawn and brains respectively.

Epic Fail: Assane's theft of the violin ends up being this when he gets caught in the middle of Claire's audition, particularly since Claire gets apprehended as well, likely destroying any possible future she had as a professional violinist. The season three premiere shows a flashback in which Assane tries to steal the Black Pearl and is caught. He tries to get out of it by passing himself off as a cop using a stolen badge only for one of the arresting officers to recognize the badge as his own.

Lost in Translation
 Lupin (2021) / int_b7920c43
comment
Lost in Translation: In the English dub of one of the flashback scenes, Assane tells Claire that he's the man of her dreams. However, what he actually says in the original French is "Je suis l'homme de ta vie," or "I'm the man of your life." Understanding that helps make Claire's response (that he technically is, since he's the only guy whose company she enjoys) make a lot more sense. At another point, teenaged Claire sees Assane reading his Arsène Lupin book and says, "c'est un chaud Lupin, non?" This is a Pun based on the French expression "un chaud lapin," literally meaning "a hot rabbit" and used to refer to someone who is The Casanova. The subtitles try to get around the impossibility of directly translating this by having her say that Lupin is "kind of a Romeo," but the cleverness of the original joke is lost. Surprisingly inverted when Hubert tells Dumont that Babakar is "malin comme un singe," an expression used as an equivalent to the English "sharp as a tack" (although Hubert was no doubt using it in an ironic fashion). The subtitles translate the phrase literally and have Hubert say that Babakar is "clever as an ape." This only adds to his characterization as a smug racist.

Accents Aren't Hereditary: Babakar and Mariama have accents typical of French speakers from West Africa, but teenaged Assane just sounds like a kid from the Parisian banlieues, even though it's implied that he and Babakar had moved from Senegal not too long before 1995.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 Lupin (2021) / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Captain Laugier, a fairly important character in Parts 1 and 2, simply disappears from Part 3 with no explanation as to where he went. In his absence Belkacem is promoted from lieutenant to captain, and neither she nor Guédira ever brings him up in casual conversation. A minor Part 2 arc sees Claire, having severed ties with Assane in the wake of Raoul's abduction, going On the Rebound with a co-worker named Marc. After the guy makes an awkward attempt to chat with Raoul in episode 2.04, he's never seen or mentioned again. In this case, it seems reasonable to assume that the combination of Claire's obvious unresolved feelings for Assane and the growing media frenzy surrounding her made Marc decide that pursuing the relationship further just wasn't worth it. (Out-of-Universe it's a fairly clear case of Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends, as Part 3 cements Assane and Claire as the show's Official Couple.)

Informed Attribute
 Lupin (2021) / int_c3448a6f
comment
Informed Attribute: Assane is a Master of Disguise. Or is he? Many of his ostensible disguises consist of him throwing on a weird outfit and one or two accessories (sunglasses, a goofy wig, a distinctive hat, etc); this somehow makes him nearly unrecognizable to most of the French public. The one time he really goes all-out with prosthetics for a disguise—when he's posing as Raoul's coach in Part 3—he doesn't look like himself but he does look rather...odd. In episode 3.05, Raoul tells Claire that she is a Bad Liar, suggesting that she gets a Deer in the Headlights expression whenever she does it. However, over the course of the series we see Claire lie successfully on a number of occasions, including later in that very episode when she tricks Benjamin into revealing that Assane is alive. A potential explanation for this is that she just struggles to lie convincingly to Raoul, since he's her son. Played for Laughs when Guédira, who is clearly blinded by his crush on Belkacem, does a bit of Character Shilling for her by describing her to Assane as someone who is polite and considerate. Viewers, of course, are well-acquainted with multiple seasons' worth of Belkacem displaying a Hair-Trigger Temper and a propensity for Cluster F-Bombs. Belkacem's characterization as a successful policewoman is often felt to be an Informed Ability, with a number of fans questioning why she got promoted over Guédira offscreen between Parts 2 and 3 when he was consistently the one doing most of the actual detective work. To be fair to Belkacem, it's plausible that she's better when it comes to handling the more "normal" police cases, and that Guédira's Troperiffic fixation on Arsène Lupin helps him enormously when he's tracking Assane but is something of a Crippling Overspecialization in other scenarios.

Hope Spot: Things appear to be looking up for Assane, Claire and Raoul on the latter's birthday in Étretat, as all three are joking, laughing and having a good time. And then Raoul gets abducted. Similarly, in the finale to Part 3, it seems like Assane has finally found a way for him, Claire and Raoul to be together again as a family. Then he promptly ruins it by allowing himself to be taken to jail.

Cliffhanger: The ending of Part 1 has Raoul getting kidnapped, Claire and Assane desperately searching for him, and Assane finally coming face to face with Guédira. Episode 2.01's conclusion leads the viewer (and Assane) to believe that Raoul has been killed. Episode 2.02 ends with Claire telling Assane to run away before he can be caught by the police. The first episode in Part 3 ends with Assane falling multiple stories from a roof, seemingly to his death. The final scene in Episode 3.06 has Keller breaking into Claire's apartment. Part 3's finale ends with a Reveal Shot showing that Assane's neighbor in prison is Hubert Pellegrini.

Assane assigns one of the loan sharks (who's into racing games) to be the getaway driver for the Louvre heist. However, come the actual heist, the guy gets a red Ferrari as a getaway car, that while fast and cool looking, ends up attracting the police when the heist goes south. Also, it turns out that video games are the only experience the dude has in driving fast cars, leading to the escape going wrong when he can't handle driving the Ferrari and ends up crashing into a statue under a glass skylight.

Lighter and Softer: Part 3 is generally lighter in tone than Part 2, since the revenge-quest aspect is less prominent, while more emphasis is placed on capers and Assane's goofy disguises, not to mention that the Claire/"Alex" arc borders on romantic comedy with thematic nods to films like Mrs. Doubtfire and You've Got Mail.

The other police officers are alternately amused or dismayed by Guédira's attempts to link the crimes they are investigating with the Arsène Lupin stories; however, this makes him the only one who is able to deduce what Assane's plans really are. Eventually, Laugier and Belkacem realize that he was correct about essentially everything and begin to trust his insights more and more.

Did I Mention It's Christmas?: Although a large portion of the series takes place in mid to late December, there is no indication whatsoever that it's Christmas time, aside from a couple of newspaper headlines ("Merry Christmas, Mr. Johnson," in reference to Boris Johnson, at that time the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom). Part 3 is set exactly a year later, and the signs of the holiday season are a bit more obvious: for instance, in episode 3.01, the Place Vendôme is ringed by Christmas trees. The trope is still played straight, however, in that nobody ever wishes anyone a "joyeux noël", and Claire and Raoul don't have any Christmas decorations up in their apartment.

Contrived Coincidence: Given that there are multiple hospitals in the Paris area, it's more than a little convenient that Assane picked the one where Claire works as the location for his fake autopsy. This is what ultimately allows Claire to figure out that Assane is still alive, as she discovers that "Doctor Vernes" (a.k.a. Philippe Courbet) was never in the hospital's database.

Artistic License: Raoul's fourteenth birthday is established to be on December 11th, 2020. However, this fell on a Friday, and December 11th is not typically part of the Christmas holiday as observed by French schools, which means that Raoul would have had to have skipped school in order to take a day trip to Étretat with his parents. No indication is given that he did so. The Wikipedia of the show's universe apparently has some very lax editing standards, given that Assane is able to create entire detailed entries for nonexistent people such as Paul Sernine. Were this Real Life, something like that would have been removed immediately. Had Guédira actually read all of the Lupin stories as he claims to have done, he'd have been well aware that the Significant Anagrams "Luis Perenna" and "Paul Sernine" are both canonical aliases of Arsène Lupin—which is to say, he shouldn't have needed to put any effort into decoding them. The series likely ignores this to give him his first "Eureka!" Moment. In episode 3.04, Claire goes to the library to find the Arsène Lupin book Edith au Cou de Cygne ("Edith Swan-Neck"). There is no standalone Lupin book with this title; rather it's a short story which was published in the 1913 anthology Les Confidences d'Arsène Lupin. The extent to which people are depicted as being reliant on print media seems rather fanciful for a show which is unambiguously set in The New '20s. This is especially noticeable in Part 3, in which the characters routinely seek out physical copies of newspapers and books when they could easily have found the information they were looking for online—particularly when one considers that the Arsène Lupin character has been in the public domain in France since 2012.

Voice Changeling: Assane fools Dumont with a recording of his voice that has been doctored to sound identical to Hubert's. Assane's disguise as Raoul's basketball coach sees him using a voice modifier to turn his usual Baritone of Strength into a thinner, reedier sound.

All Women Are Lustful: Downplayed but nonetheless present. Claire, Juliette, and Fleur are far more forward about their romantic and sexual feelings than the likes of Guédira, Benjamin, Bruno, and Philippe, who either Cannot Spit It Out or lack love interests entirely. Even Assane is depicted as being rather inexperienced as a teenager—Claire and Juliette are the ones who initiate physical intimacy with him, rather than the other way around. Belkacem is a notable aversion, as she's rather prudish and uptight when it comes to romance.

Expy: The crux of the series is that Assane is a modern day Arsène Lupin, being a Gentleman Thief and Phantom Thief who pulls off high profile heists, but with his own different background. He styles himself after the character In-Universe, having been a fan since his teenage years. Not just Assane, either. Many of the other characters are at least inspired by people encountered by the actual Arsène Lupin. Youssef Guédira is essentially an updated version of Inspector Ganimard, a police officer who makes repeated attempts to catch Lupin. This gets referenced In-Universe, with Assane frequently referring to Guédira as "Ganimard." Somewhat subverted in that Guédira is more clever and insightful than his Lestrade-like literary counterpart, who relies more than anything on dogged willpower (and is thus more akin to Belkacem). Babakar is largely based on Lupin's mother Henriette d'Andrésy (who was also mistreated while working for a wealthy family); however, his death in prison appears to have been taken from the fate of Lupin's father Theophraste. Claire's name, at the very least, seems to have been taken from that of Clarice d'Etigues, a childhood sweetheart of Lupin. Josephine Balsamo, one of the major antagonists in the Lupin books, has her characterization split between Hubert and Juliette Pellegrini.

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Humorously subverted. By the beginning of Part 3 Assane has spent a full year on the run away from Claire. He then sees her exactly once (resulting in her reprimanding him for allowing her and Raoul to be abused by the media), before "dying" in a fall immediately afterwards. Claire is genuinely distraught by this, but nonetheless grows increasingly close to Raoul's new basketball coach, Alex...who turns out to be Assane in heavy prosthetics.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Lupin (2021) / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Assane is generally a highly confident and capable person, so the few times he seems to genuinely lose the plot, it's a sign that something has gone incredibly wrong. The most obvious example is his absolute devastation when he thinks that Raoul has been burned to death in the boot of Léonard's car. When Belkacem arrives to arrest him, he's too upset to even fight it, and basically just lets himself be taken in. When Claire finds out that her child has been kidnapped, her typically amiable and forbearing nature temporarily disappears as she has a very public emotional breakdown. The next day, after she's made aware of Hubert Pellegrini's involvement in the kidnapping, Claire is desperate enough to pay a visit to him directly in order to negotiate Raoul's release, despite having spent the previous two decades doing her best to avoid any association with Assane's myriad of dangerous exploits. Raoul is a stoic kid who is extremely difficult to faze. So when even he starts getting on Assane's case about taking forever with his revenge quest, Assane is legitimately perturbed.

Artistic License – Geography
 Lupin (2021) / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: The series suggests that there are train connections directly from Le Havre to Étretat; these were discontinued years before 2020, when Parts 1 and 2 are set. The various journeys taken between Paris and Normandy seem to last anywhere between two and seven hours, given the depicted sunset and sunrise times. An actual car ride from the middle of Paris to Étretat would take around three hours. The sun should have been starting to set at the time of Raoul's kidnapping, given that it happens in the middle of the afternoon in northern France, less than two weeks away from the winter solstice. However, in the series, there are evidently several more hours of full daylight following the abduction. In Parts 1 and 2, Benjamin's antique shop is located in the flea markets at Saint-Ouen, a suburb just north of Paris. However, right after he flees the shop when he and Assane are found out, he's suddenly walking around Bercy, a neighborhood in the southeast of the city.

Tricked into Signing: Babakar is made to believe that confessing to stealing the necklace will reduce his sentence. It doesn't.

I Will Find You: Both Assane and Claire do this separately for Raoul after his kidnapping. Their respective approaches are...pretty different. After a tense car chase, and the tremendous scare of Raoul possibly having been burned alive, Assane gets his son out of Hubert Pellegrini's grasp in his usual confident and creative fashion, even managing to hilariously troll both Hubert and Dumont as he's doing it. Claire, on the other hand, is both worried sick and woefully out of her depth in the cutthroat world of kidnappings and revenge quests. She tries her best to save Raoul in her own way, but gets forced by Hubert Pellegrini into betraying Assane, and while she does manage to tip him off before he can get caught, overall her efforts just wind up causing more problems than they solve.

Master of Disguise
 Lupin (2021) / int_fd7267dd
comment
Assane is a Master of Disguise. Or is he? Many of his ostensible disguises consist of him throwing on a weird outfit and one or two accessories (sunglasses, a goofy wig, a distinctive hat, etc); this somehow makes him nearly unrecognizable to most of the French public. The one time he really goes all-out with prosthetics for a disguise—when he's posing as Raoul's coach in Part 3—he doesn't look like himself but he does look rather...odd.
