The original film, The Talented Mr Ripley, portrays better acting,storyline, more emotion, better characters than 8 episodes of this Netflix rehash. The plot almost makes no sense especially the scene where Dickie is being bludgeoned to death on the boat by Tom, in his last moments, he looks up to his assailant and calmly asks him to help him...really? Atmospherically shot to be a little like film Noir but save yourselves the time, just watch the original.
