Ripley (2024)
Good to the second-last episode
I came into this without any expectations. Having watched The Talented Mr Ripley so long ago that I barely remembered it, I took the story as it was told without comparison to the movie or the books.
The acting was great, the black and white cinematography very striking, and the understated humor many scenes didn't go unnoticed.
I got to the last episode, prepared for an interesting conclusion and waiting to see how he would pull this next con off. But then came the most disappointing part of the entire series. Not only didn't the inspector recognize him through a very thin disguise, using the same voice and mannerisms as "Richard Greenleaf", but he also failed to recognize THE SAME ASHTRAY! It put me right off the series at that point.
Still, 7/8ths of the series was good, so I rated it a 6 overall.
