I know the last time I talked about this show was to complain about its portrayal of the catacombes and their "inhabitants" but don't let that fool you, I greatly enjoyed it! It's not a direct adaptation of Leblanc's works[1] but it has THE VIBES MAN THE VIBES. ~♪♫Gentleman cambrioleur♫♪~

[1] Maurice Leblanc's works are in the public domain, which means you can find free ebooks online, forex: Wikisource (FR / EN), Project Gutenberg (various languages) or Bouquineux (FR).

It's such a good show! It's got good story and acting and also it's got a Paris that's not all white people all the time and that's SO NICE to see on screen.
