10 Best Netflix Originals From 2021

10. Lupin

The charming French star Omar Sy uses his talent to carry this exciting show about an art thief that always seems to outwit the rich and powerful.

The series, created by George Kay and François Uzan, was named after the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, a character that was originally created by French writer Maurice Leblanc in 1905. However, the story is not about him, but about Assane Diop, who is inspired by Lupin after reading a book about his adventures gifted to him by his father.

Diop has a much different background than the character he was based on, and that adds a great new dimension to the story. It essentially makes it much more relatable, especially to the modern audience. The show itself is a great combination of mystery and action, and the entire season (consisting of ten episodes) can fly by before you've even gone through half of your popcorn.

Testament to this is 70 million unique viewers that watched Lupin in its first month, making it the most-watched non-English language show on Netflix.
