Reminder ~~ Netflix series to start on April 4, 2024. An 8 episode series.

I watched the first episode of Ripley tonight. I thought it was good. It has been so many years since I read the book - The Talented Mr. Ripley that I don't remember much about it. However I did remember the reason Ripley went to Italy and kind of remember the stairs. I am hoping the series brings more of the story back to me.

I kind of like that it is in black and white.

There are 8 episodes and they are all out to view. I only watched the first episode tonight and will probably watch them one at a time.
