Is anyone else watching this?

Personally, I am thoroughly enjoying it. The books are good too - the "Ripliad" as the author termed the collection.

Plenty of old Fiats to enjoy seeing as well.

It is excellent smile - we binged watched it in one evening.

I think the village of Atrani (Dickie's house) was used in Equaliser 3?

I recently finished Ripley as well. Me and the wife really enjoyed it. She also decided to watch The Talented Mr Ripley half way through which confused things a bit but you can see how the film and series differed. I'd happily watch it again.

Quite a few comments on it in the Netflix thread as well.

I can't imagine binge-watching this series, it's far too good to watch in one go. I have been savouring this by watching it one episode a week.

Due to a chronic illness I have been unable to sleep for more than a few minutes at a time recently. Exhausted, hence the binge watch.

I've just watched episode 5, and it has to be one of the best single episodes of *any* TV series ever.

Beautiful, funny, excellent dialogue, Hitchcockian in it's tone, and pretty much a two-hander between Andrew Scott and Eliot Sumner (Stings son don'tchaknow).

This episode is an examplar of Chekhovs gun in all of it's various interpretations.

Daughter, actually. Although they now identify as non-binary.

I've just finished watching the series and really enjoyed it. As you say, episode five was particularly outstanding.

I thought it started a bit slow then I got into it. Enjoyed rewatching it.

Particularly enjoyed the various interactions involving the police inspector.
