| Lupin |
Another week, another Friday stuffed with worthy premieres. Top Pick goes to the fourth season (part) of Netflix's Lupin. Omar Sy stars as Assane, a master thief who has modeled himself after the fictional Lupin and finds himself constantly caught up in shenanigans that often mirror the Lupin books. It's a fun, breezy, caper show and Sy is a very winning presence. I recommend watching the previous seasons first if you are a newbie, but the seasons are only 5-8 episodes each so it won't take you long.
Among the runner ups we have the premiere of Newlyweds, which has one of the most over qualified casts for a network multi-cam sitcom in recent memory. We also have the premiere of sexy mystery involving witches show Yaga. Add onto that the streaming premiere of The Invite and another Hallmark Christmas movie and you've got a lot to choose from. And I didn't even mention Battle of the Streaming Stars (because it looks terrible)!
⭐💎 Lupin (Netflix 3:01 AM) PART FOUR. 'Four years after the events of Part 3, Assane (Omar Sy) is still in prison. He has left his life as "Lupin" behind and plans to finish his sentence so he can move to Senegal with his family. Assane's peaceful plans are ruined when a mysterious criminal announces and executes simultaneous museum robberies using the Lupin name. Security footage seemingly places Assane inside one of the museums during a heist where Captain Belkacem is seriously hurt. To prove his innocence and find the impostor challenging him at his own game, Assane is forced to break out of prison and become Lupin once more.'
