Part 2 was such a let down . It took ages to come out and was really poorly written

Quite liked part/season 1, but after hearing the initial reviews of part/season 2 here, gave it a miss. It's seems a general consensus that part 2 was a turd.

It turns out that Lupin was first published in book form way back in 1905, even teaming up with Sherlock Holmes- though for copyright issues was called "Herlock Sholmes"!

Part 2 isn't great, the show has made some really inane swings and pivots that defy common sense; but then as I said already, what made me make sense of this show was the realisation that it played like a live action cartoon, a Bande Dessinée as they call them in France. Big larger than life characters getting into crazy scrapes.

Besides, the drop off of quality still pales in comparison to BBC's Sherlock, which was a show constantly on my mind when watching Lupin. They have seemed genetically similar in style.
