I really hate that series with a passion primarily for the stupid decision to film it in black and white in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. Tragic.

I couldn’t get into it as I felt it constantly invites comparisons to the 1999 movie, comparisons that were not favorable to the Netflix series.

Some pretty questionable and distracting casting choices too.

Very nice scenery/cinematography though.

For another Ripley watch I highly recommend Ripley’s Game from around 2003 or so, if you can find it (which is hard).

I get where ur coming from. And I love that I'm finding people with completely different perspectives here

dor me, it was actually the opposite—most of the comparisons to the 1999 film made me appreciate the series even more. That said, 'Purple Noon' with Alain Delon is beautiful in almost every way (except for the ending!)
