Netflix mini series

Ripley
I recommend. 8 part series in black and white that is filmed in the film noir /Alfred Hitchcock style which is captivating. Watch the first two episodes and you will be hooked. I thought this was very well done and pretty much kept me in suspense until the end.

Some of the best photography and acting in years. Just fantastic. Creepy sometimes, too.

I discovered it a few nights back while skimming for something to watch and decided, what the heck. I’m glad I did. As you say , the first two episodes got me hooked ! It’s very well done and I look forward to viewing the rest this weekend.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

Thank you for the recommendation. Excellent, intelligent, artistic, without being pretentious if you know what I mean. You are correct in describing it as Hitchcockion (if that is a word ). Three episodes in and I am hooked. A couple of non spoiler comments. First and second episodes and the stairs. I would be in the best shape ever or dead . Episodes three, the boat episode is epic.

Five minutes in I had come to dislike RIPLEY (Tom) ... great story told in the best tradition of Alfred Hitchcock.

The inept Italian LE never had a chance.

I will check it out, thanks!

Always like having a new show to watch in my relax/down time.

I watched it all after seeing the recommendation. Very good, kind of creepy and disturbing, wonder if there will be a season 2?

My wife and I started to laugh a little after about the 100th stairs scene

Just started. Really like it. Thanks for the suggestion!

The B&W cinematography is exquisite.

If you haven't seen the original movie with Alain Delon, 1960, Purple Noon, check it out: Purple Noon - Wikipedia

Available to download for $4 from Amazon.

My wife and I watched based on OP recommendation. Told my wife the guy suggesting it was a high polluting elitist litigator and the plot would probably be over our heads and hard to follow.

I watched it a few weeks ago. Definitely a good series.

There have been a number of remakes based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel. I have not seen any of them, but my book club read the book a couple of years ago.
As with all movies based on books, it is a good idea to read the book sooner or later. If you read the book first, of course it will be full of spoilers, but since the book always predates the movie, (after-the-fact novelizations don’t count) odds are you will have read it already. Usually, but not always, the book will be better.

Just added it to my list.

I’ll probably watch it after I get done with Shameless.
