It was aired in Canada on Showcase, in France on France Television and in Germany on ZDF.
Peter Hume’s script was nominated at the 2011 Gemini Awards (Canadian “Emmy Awards”) for Best Screenplay in a Television Series. Jack of Diamonds was also nominated at the ACTRA Awards 2013.
A quality international production, which reserves an excellent role to Jean-Yves Berteloot.
From this unlikely encounter between two beings that everything opposes is born an irresistible duet. We are won over by the story, both funny and sensitive, by the acting, remarkable, by the characters carrying beautiful promises. Not to miss !
I loved it! The promo had me looking out for it on Showcase and when I caught it over the weekend I was pleasantly surprised at the high grade production value and the stellar acting of the principal characters. The premise while done was given a new spin which made it exciting. I am looking forward to many more episodes and a run of many years.
Arsène Lupin makes emulators ... International co-production with visibly important means, this police comedy aims to blow up the bank with a charming bandit inspired by Cary Grant in ``To Catch a Thief`` or Georges Clooney in ``Ocean's Eleven``. In this role, Jean-Yves Berteloot does the job without showing off.
An inspired creation, very attractive.
