  • 'Ripley' (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@3:633/280.2 to All on Fri Apr 19 08:15:49 2024

    In Patricia Highsmith's classic thriller, a young man cons his way into
    a wealthy American family traveling in Italy. Among other considerable assets, 'Ripley', a new 6-part series from Netflix, reminds us how
    compelling black-and-white cinematography can be. Highly recommended.

    Are Newt and Jonesey in it?

    In fact, there *is* a prominent character of the feline persuasion...

    I just resubscribed to Netflix for the first time in many years. I hate
    it already but I'll watch this before I cancel.

    While you're there, 'The Tourist' is a pretty fair thriller, the new
    second season of which I'm just starting.

    First season was a good watch. A lot of the mystery is missing from the second. though.

    There's a collection of awfully odd characters in the second. It was
    worth watching, but it does suffer a bit from the location.

    I'll take that under advisement. So far it looks like you'd have to
    spend several hours studying what content is on it before being able to decide on something.

    I think that's what we'd call a blessing ...or a side effect of one.
