Ripley - Netflix

[Lotusgone]

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 - 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 hope you feel better soon....

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.

Finally finished this and can highly recommend. Beautifully filmed, intelligently made, consistent, humourous at times, and every single scene moves the story forwards in some way.

The slow pace may not be for everyone, but I think it's become an instant classic. It's refreshing to see a TV series which tells a single story without all the associated nonsense tagged on to drag the story out over multuple seasons.

Hopefully, they'll get funding to adapt the other Ripley novels, and are given enough time and money to make them to this standard.

Watched with my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just finished the series, found it very entertaining. The little characterisations (like the Inspector) and depth of interplay between the main players. I first thought the series might be a bit dull having not been bowled over by the movie, but it was much better.

I'm nearly through on my second watch - I loved it so much, I am now forcing my GF to watch it. It's so good.
