Lupin (Part 2 Review) | A Sameness that Still Works…Kind of

I thoroughly enjoyed Lupin (Part 1) it was so engaging, nicely paced, and full of social commentaries that did not impede the story at all.

CASTRebecca BreedsLucca De OliveiraMichael CudlitzKal PennDevyn A. Tyler The Accent is the first thing that I noticed. Not to judge if it was good or not, but I didn't remember if Jodie Foster's Clarice had one.
