A disappointing denouement
ulicknormanowen25 March 2022
The denouement of Leblanc's novel featured his gentleman cambrioleur,Arsène Lupin; the excellent 1977 miniseries didn't ; in the 2022 remake,his eventual intervention would be guaranteed to net nothing but horse laughs .

It does not make the last episode interesting for all that :it is as if , towards the end of their "new" screenplay ,the writers suddenly appreciated how messy,chaotic ,their story was ,and desperately attempted to boost the suspense by borrowing some elements of the book , the family duels notably. But it's too little too late ; Berling could have been an ideal Vorsky ,had he been given a subtantial character .

No stone unturned .

Like in the first miniseries( 1977) , Arsene Lupin won't come to the damsel in distress' s rescue ; it would have been ludicrous anyway .

It does not make the last episode interesting for all that: the stakes are too unsubstantial and this denouement is not satisfying : Leblanc's criminal was a megalomaniac who wanted to rule the world , a power which would be given to him by a miraculous stone ( a scientific explanation was given ,do not forget the book was written at Curie's and Becquerel's time ,both mentioned by the writer) : hence ,some opportunities as "the flowers that grow so incredibly high" are missed; on the other hand ,instead of one family duel , one is granted two !

Le Doyen and Berling are the right actors in a wrong miniseries.
