Keep the literary figure and screen character separate
Netflix’s programme description names Assane Diop and explicitly calls Arsène Lupin his inspiration. Its cast guide identifies Sy as Assane and discusses the characters’ knowledge of Maurice Leblanc’s books. Those publisher references establish a contemporary screen story drawing on a literary figure, rather than a claim that every episode directly dramatises one original book.
For the series, use Lupin, the named part or season and episode. For a reading request, use Maurice Leblanc, the exact book or story title and edition. A book cover featuring the programme’s branding can identify a tie-in product without turning the text into a novelisation of every television event.
A reference inside a story is not the story’s complete source map
A screen character can mention a literary adventure, imitate a technique or own a book without the whole episode being an adaptation of that specific volume. Preserve the individual reference if that is the research question. Do not label the entire programme as a particular novel merely because its cover or title appears in a scene.
Conversely, searching only for the screen protagonist can miss the original work someone intended to read. Name the character and medium explicitly when sharing a shortlist: Assane in the Netflix series, or Arsène in a specified Leblanc work. That avoids a false character-name correction.
Part labels belong to the screen catalogue
Netflix’s current material uses Part labels for Lupin. Keep that label as shown rather than converting it into a numbered novel or assuming it is a scene-level guide to the books. If a player uses Season instead, compare the actual episode references before merging two lists.
The collection artwork identifies the series but does not independently print a numbered part or year. It stays labelled at work level. This article uses publisher identity and character descriptions without watching episodes, interpreting the heists or disclosing their solutions. The result is a precise distinction between literary inspiration, a fictional reader of that literature and an actual book adaptation; current Canadian account contents still need a separate check.
