Binged the entire season of Ripley [View all]

last night on Netflix. Fabulous. Shot in B&W. Much, much darker than the Matt Damon movie years ago. Tied to the work of Caravaggio and the story of the murder/killing for which he'd done.

Really well done, all the way round. And a great little surprise performance from John Malkovich near the end.
