Around The World In 8mm

The conman of the pages leaps to the screen and we get Assane Diop following the footsteps of Arsene Lupin.
Disclaimer: I call both of them Lupin, distinguished by a poorly attempted French accent when speaking of the one from the book and the normal Indian English accent when speaking of the series character.
The Netflix series Lupin isn’t a direct adaptation of the book but heavily inspired by it, it’s kind of meta, the series inspired by Arsene Lupin has a protagonist heavily inspired by Arsene Lupin…so the plot and the protagonist's actions take inspiration form the legendary character.
