Lupin
In 1995, young Assane Diop was shocked by the suicide of his father, accused of a theft he had not committed. Twenty-five years later, Assane (Omar Sy) organizes the theft of a necklace that once belonged to Marie-Antoinette of Austria. The jewel, now on display in the Louvre, belonged to the wealthy Pellegrini family. He wanted to take revenge on the family for falsely accusing his father, taking his inspiration from his favorite character: the "gentleman burglar" Arsène Lupin. Alongside his illegal activities, Assane is also trying to take better care of his son Raoul, who now lives with his ex-girlfriend Claire (Ludivine Sagnier).
In a world where identity is often taken for granted, "The Pretender" emerges as a thought-provoking series that challenges our perception of self. Created by Craig W. Van Sickle and Steven Long Mitchell, this American television gem aired its first season with a unique blend of action, drama, and science fiction that captivates audiences from start to finish. With four gripping seasons and a total of 88 episodes, "The Pretender" offers a deep dive into the life of Jarod, played masterfully by Michael T. Weiss.
Raised in a secret facility designed for conducting experiments on gifted children, Jarod possesses an extraordinary ability to excel in any profession he chooses. However, his journey takes a dramatic turn when he realizes that his captors are far from benevolent guardians—they are jailers withholding the truth about his real identity. Determined to uncover his past, Jarod escapes captivity and embarks on an exhilarating quest across America.
Each episode in Season 1 is packed with suspense as Jarod assumes various identities—from doctors to Coast Guard officers—to solve complex mysteries while helping those he encounters along the way. For instance, in Episode 1 titled "New York, New York," Jarod poses as a doctor investigating the cause behind a boy’s paralysis following surgery. This theme continues throughout the season with intriguing plots such as solving maritime deaths or unraveling conspiracies tied to defense contractors—all while outsmarting Miss Parker (Andrea Parker) and Sydney (Patrick Bauchau), who relentlessly pursue him.

It wasn’t as bad as the first few episodes. The plot thickens ;)
Terrible acting, everything is rushed but great universe and ideas
