In Lupin, Assane Diop gets inspired by Maurice Leblanc's brain child, a gentleman thief from another era that is equal parts mischief and refinement — a character similar to Peaky Blinders' Thomas Shelby. Set in the early 20th century, Shelby is a returning soldier who fights for survival in the streets of Birmingham alongside his brothers and aunt. Their gang, the Peaky Blinders, soon become notorious for their enterprising crimes, and just like for Diop, family always comes first.
