I am a huge fan of the Ripley series of books by Patricia Highsmith. I read all 5 long ago, and have reread a couple. I have seen a couple of the movie adaptations, notably the one with Jude Law, which was quite well done. Given I "know what happens," I was maybe going to skip this. But it's a good one. There are additions. The squalor of his life in the Bowery is shown in the details of his neighborhood and apartment, and the high resolution black and white cinematography is brilliant. There are details of his New York life that establish an older, more experienced con man, that is quite different than the young character of the book. And more new details are thrown in when he gets to Italy, but I found the interpretation compelling. I am only through Episode 2, and I do know where it leads, but I look forward to the rest of it.
