Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
‘Lupin’ Is Netflix’s Most Popular French Series
The new Netflix NFLX -0.6% original series, Lupin (Lupin: Dans l’Ombre d’Arsène), produced by Gaumont and created by George Kay, in collaboration with François Uzan, is fast becoming the streaming platform’s most popular French show since its release just a week ago on January 8.
The series starring Omar Sy (Intouchables, Jurassic World) has entered Netflix’s Top 10 Shows in most countries around the globe. In the majority of countries in Europe, including France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Denmark, Lupin stands and has remained all week at the top of the TV shows chart. The series is the No. 1 show today in countries around the world, including Canada, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa.
In the U.S., Lupin became the first French series to enter the Top 10 list, at number 8, quickly rising up to No.1 over the weekend. Lupin now seems to be wrestling with Bridgerton for the first place in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.
Lupin is one of the most streamed series across the world this week. The show has an 80% audience score and a 100% “fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes, which I guess did not take into account the negative reviews in the French press. Lupin is an excellent show that pays homage to a very popular French fiction character created by Maurice Leblanc at the start of the twentieth century, Arsène Lupin.
If you’d like to know what Lupin is really about, then just take a look at a new promotional stunt released by Netflix France on Tuesday, which perfectly encapsulates the underlying theme of the French series. The clip shows Omar Sy installing a huge poster for the Netflix show at a metro station in Paris—the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station to be precise, the very station that serves the museum that features in the opening episode of the show.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
