Netflix is packed full of incredible TV shows for you to binge, but one foreign language show might have gone under the radar for you despite picking up 100,000,000 watchers in just under five years.

If you've been a longtime Netflix subscriber its understandable to feel as if you've no shows left to watch.

Between popular options like Squid Game and Stranger Things, old classics that you can only rewatch so many times, and the pantheon of cancelled classics, it's often tricky to decide exactly what will be the subject of your next binging session.

Some shows only have a couple of episodes too, which can leave you in the space place all to quick even if they're fantastic in the process.

However, one show that you might have passed over or forgotten has been the subject of much raving from certain sections of Netflix's vast subscriber base, and it's just about to get a new season too.

Inspired by the iconic early 20th century Arsène Lupin stories by Maurice Leblanc, Netflix's 'Lupin' is not only one of the platform's most watched foreign language shows, but it's hailed for it's 'outstanding' quality too, as reported by UNILAD.

"I binged watch first part last night, hooked from the very first 5 minutes. This series is going to be better than Ocean's 12, 13, and 8 combined," wrote one adoring fan on X about the show.

Created by George Kay and starring Omar Sy as master gentleman thief Assane Diop, you're treated to a thrilling adventure across three parts and 17 'chapters' so far, with a hotly-anticipated fourth season on its way early next year.
