The French Netlix series Lupin follows professional thief Assane Diop as he plots to avenge the death of his father, Babakar, a former chauffeur and butler for the wealthy Hubert Pellegrini. Babakar dies in prison after Hubert frames him for the theft of an expensive diamond necklace, one that pops up at auction twenty-five years later. Inspired by a book about gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, Assane uses his charisma and mastery of thievery, subterfuge, and disguise to expose Hubert’s crimes and clear Babakar’s name. Similar to its protagonist, the Netlfix series itself draws inspiration from the adventures of French author Maurice Leblanc’s famous literary character, Arsène Lupin.
