Despite Lupin’s whopping 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, not everyone has been impressed with the show. 

One viewer wrote on the review site: ‘Omar Sy as Lupin is charming, but the plot twists are so unrealistic… and sometimes just plain stupid.

‘It felt like it had potential because the production values are so good. But the storylines are ridiculous.’
