8/10
Superb adaptation

Having seen all the screen versions of the Ripley saga I think this was outstanding. Not many films or series work in black and white these days but the camera work and production result in an absolutely authentic work that shows Italy in a very different way.

An excellent series based on the original gripping story which is more atmospheric than the earlier versions imo. Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning are brilliant and the casting throughout is very good. It's one episode too long I think as it can drag in places but overall I'd highly recommend it and will watch it again at some point.

A nice little nod to the past in having John Malkovich appear in the final episode.
