Binged the whole series over the last few nights. As a fan of the book, (all of them actually) although it's a while since I last read it, I loved everything about this series.
I am also in awe of all the Italian spoken by the various cast members who definitely aren't Italians. OK, for all I know one or more of them might already be fluent, but surely they can't all have been, yet the language seemed to flow effortlessly. I can't really believe it's quite the same as simply learning any old dialogue; maybe I'm wrong. Still found it impressive.
I like the b/w photography too - although I did occasionally wish I could see the colours of various bits and pieces.
This whole series is a triumph; I very much hope there will be more. I feel as though I can trust this director to adapt the rest of the 'Ripliad' faithfully too.
Oh, and that cat was ADORABLE!
