All eyes are on the "talented" Thomas Ripley, from the gargoyles and statues to that wonderful cat in his hotel. Shot in such a way that you feel you are there, you notice all the supporting pieces (and sounds), like the heavy glass ashtray, the creaky old lift and newspaper kiosks that set the stage and mood of mid-century Italy.
I don't know when I have ever watched such a gorgeous production, and the intrigue is through the roof in this one. Not sure Matt Damon's performance in the earlier version can be topped, but Andrew Scott is a close second. Patience is required, because it is a long series but ultimately rewarding.
I was hoping the scenes in Italy would be in color, because... Italy, come on! But I soon accepted the black and white format and now I don't think of it any other way.
Bravo for a series actually worth watching on Netflix that was made for adults!
