These police are seriously incompetent, leaving the master escape artist alone and only half heartedly chasing him. Decent acting but a lackluster storyline.

Pretty interesting

This episode have some great moments. I enjoyed it. It end with a cliffhanger and let us want to know the next episode. And have some interesting camera movement. Assane fight to find his son and try to get him. Its pretty tense in the end. And we definitely want to see more.
Chapter 7

The hand of Louis Leterrier is all over this. He directed the early episodes of Lupin and made the movie, Now You See Me.
So Lupin has to be approached like a puzzle box with plenty of misdirection.
So no way was Raoul dead when we did not know what Guedira has been up to.
In this episode, Guedira is unaware that his boss Dumont is crooked and in league with Hubert Pellegrini.
Both of them plan to use Raoul to entice Assane into a trap.
Once again it is cat and mouse as Assane easily escapes from the police car. Getting into the hotel where Pellegrini has his son is harder.
Another good use of flashbacks with the young Assane learning the tricks of voice control.
There is not let up in the pace and by the end of an exhausting episode, there is more trouble to come.

The Old Switcheroo

I guess now I can put words to this version of Lupin: Assane is stupid, lucky, careless, incompetent, and manages to continue despite these things. He puts others in danger so he can get back at Hubert, who is certainly one of the most smug people on the face of the earth. Mixed into this are some of the most incompetent police ever to walk the earth. The whole point of these stories is to get Assane to show up somewhere where he can be apprehended. He dutifully shows up without forethought and the police can't get him anyway. This Dumont guy licks Hubert's feet because of the life style he is used to. Anyway, it's getting dumber and dumber all the time.
Good Episode but...

It's really a good episode and remind us about the fantastic tricks that was in part one but how on earth that's happen with a poilce it's an old silly trick that cannot go on anyone especially after they said to her that he'll not escape before they go to Paris.
How stupid do directors and writers think viewers are? Apparently very stupid.

At the end of the first series and in episode 1 of this second series, the bad guy henchman kidnaps Raoul in order to set a trap for Assane in order to get Assane to come to Raoul's rescue so that the bad guy can kill him. Okay fine.
In episode 2, we soon learn that Raoul, after being rescued by good cop, soon falls into the hands of the bad cop and the chief bad guy, Pellegrini, in order to set another trap for Assane to once again lure Assane in a rescue attempt in order to, one assumes, capture and/or kill Assane.
Okay, fine.
Once again, Assane, manages to rescue Raoul, this time using a rather clever ploy which was worthy of some of the good stuff from series 1.
All really acceptable and my wife and I had absolutely no problem with any of that in terms of plot. A far better episode than the silly episode 1.
Until the last 3 minutes when the wheels come off yet again.
So having twice had Raoul rescued from the bad guys, what does Assane do with him? Take Raoul to his secret apartment, which bad guys couldn't possibly know about, in order to keep him safe this time? No, he does not. Trust him to the care of an old friend who lives outside of Parris and also someone bad guys couldn't possibly trace? No, he does not.
Last thing he would possibly do, needless to say, would be to return him to his mother's apartment whose address, no doubt (and ignoring the other plot twist I won't mention), is listed in the Paris phone book because there is absolutely no way the bad goods would want to try to kidknap Raoul a third time or use him as bait to trap Assane let alone be waiting inside the apartment for Assane to show up with Raoul because that would be just insanely stupid, is there?
Well, given the subject line of my review and my rather low rating, you an figure out the answer to that.
I'm getting sick and tired of stupid plots like this. To quote the famous line from Network, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
