I remember liking the movie a lot.

I watched the first episode. I really liked it. It has a pretty cool vibe the way it's done.
Hopefully the story continues to be good.

Andrew Scott is up there as one of my favorite actors. Doing a rewatch of Sherlock right now (fiancé never saw it in its initial run) and he’s so delightfully evil.
Makes me think he’ll be excellent in this. It’s on the list.

LOVE the movie
Weird they decided to do the series in black and white. Also, the main guy in the series seems much older than Damon’s character was in the movie

Just one episode in and I am liking it. Beyond the B&W it has a very art-house feel to it. Someone with a short attention span probably won't make it through the first episode, well unless you like stairs. It had a lot of shoe leather in the first episode and a modern theatrical release editor would have left most of it on the floor. I actually like that because I am constantly looking for meaning and one of Chekhov's guns in every scene.

Movie is GOAT. I’ve watched it at least once every summer since it’s been released. I’ll be starting the series sometime this weekend I think.

The Talented Mr Ripley is a top 25 American film over the last 25 years

Started this series last night, pretty good. Definitely better than I was expecting.
Casting of Freddy was bad, but other than that very solid series.
While I like the movie, I think the series is better than the movie. Some very tense/stressful moments in this series.

Just finished it tonight. It’s done Film Noir style, and all Black and White, except one small scene. Which turns out to be insignificant which is disappointing. It is aggravatingly slow and drags out WAY too long over 8 episodes. Lead character Ripley does a decent job but gets to be annoying. At some points it seems like a comedy. Dakota Fanning is good. Stings adult child is in it. John Malcovich makes cameo in the last episode. I recall liking the movie from years ago, but not so much for this remake. Disappointing overall.
