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.

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.
