I have been watching Netflix with my daughter. I liked the charming French production Lupin, about a master criminal who only takes from those who deserve to lose ill gotten gains. I didn't care for Kaleidoscope. Too much gratuitous violence. We are now watching Peaky Blinders. Again, too much violence and silly haircuts. What these stories have in common is elaborate schemes that the brilliant mastermind uses to manipulate people to achieve his ends.
