It's a very complicated business to make a series like Lupine, since any conflict, plot point, twists and tricks you decide to show have already been shown by other films or series in all likelihood. So the task in a series like Lupine is to maintain authenticity, not get too carried away with inspirations and decide what kind of tone you want to have, how you want the characters to look and feel, and what kind of aftertaste you want to leave. leave your audience with.
We can say that there are two styles of execution that a creator can decide to have, that is, he can decide to keep things as realistic as possible in his approach or exaggerate things a little, make the protagonist an infallible hero who is always one ahead of the curve. others and try to hypnotize the viewers by showing something that they knew was impossible to achieve in real life, but they still leave logic aside and have a lot of fun witnessing it on their screens.
Creator: George Kay
Stars: Omar Sy, Ludivine Sagnier, Hervé Pierre
Lupine, created by George Kay and inspired by the works of Maurice Leblanc, gravitates towards the second type of execution we talked about and is capable of achieving it to a certain extent. It is quite similar in its tonality to the Spanish series La casa de papel, which also had a stylized narrative, and we all witnessed the global furor it created.
As a viewer who has seen many well-made heist movies and series, many things didn't make sense to me in Money Heist and many times it seemed too unrealistic, exaggerated and unnecessary. But conviction, style, and those identifiable emotions that make you cry and entertain you to the point that you're ready to let go of the fallacies of the narrative are the things that matter in the end. And more than anything, a character like The Professor or Assane Diop, if done well, makes the viewer enter that fantasy land where anything is possible.
Assane Diop's character was a thief, but the writers gave him a Robin Hood-esque aura and made the audience believe that even if he committed a crime, his intentions were pure, as he made sure the underprivileged always came up elevated through your facts.
This is the exact concoction you use to create an antihero who is often more beloved than an entirely positive character. People like it when they see that someone is a victim of circumstance and that the system does not suppress them, but rather makes sure to break the rules, defy the odds and gain an advantage.
It all started for Assane Diop when he realized in season 1 of Lupine that his father had been framed by a rich and influential man named Hubert Pellegrini and that he had not committed the crime he was accused of. Assane made it his mission in life to expose this corrupt man and honor the death of his father. He was greatly inspired by the character of Arsene Lupine and almost adored him as if he were a real-life figure and not simply a character created by Maurice Leblanc.
Assane had honed his skills from a young age, and his impressive sleight of hand and fearless, bold attitude helped him accomplish his goals. This question comes up often in all franchises: What direction would the creators take the narrative from a point where the characters have achieved some kind of closure and found a solution to their current problems? This is where many series end up ruined because the writers fail to create that magic that they had created in the previous seasons, and everything starts to feel a little repetitive and mundane.
Lupine season 3 overcomes this hurdle and somehow manages to create a story, independent of past conflicts, that keeps you hooked. If you watch Lupine season 3 on its own, the creators have been able to come up with an engaging narrative, although we won't deny that there are certain subplots that are a bit disappointing. Another thing you have to control when making a story like Lupine is how much you want to exaggerate things.
There's a fine line between over-the-top performances and making something look absurd. We won't deny that there were some moments in Lupine season 3 where we felt the creators had stretched the limit too far, but then the series quickly made up for it and didn't let that aftertaste of absurdity linger any longer. A long time. Pacing is another aspect that the series benefits greatly from.
The third part has 7 episodes, and we believe that it was the best possible decision that the creators could have made, considering that if they had compulsively tried to reach that 8-10 episode mark, everything would have become tedious and boring. We liked the fact that the writers showed that Assane was so inspired by the character of Arsene Lupine from Leblanc's novel and how he incorporated those little details into his plans and continued to leave them.
