I'm late to this series, I imagine many who subscribe to Netflix will have seen it. Loving Ripley, very noir compared to The Talented Mr Ripley, which I also enjoyed at the time. Conjures up the era, 1950s early 60s filmed in black and white, much of it in Italy. Slow moving, but that doesn't detract. Andrew Scott, as always, perfect such a good actor. I binned Castaway, Channel 5 when it became apparent, after a promising start, it was a load of garbage during episode, 2. The contrast between the former and the latter, is staggering maybe illustrated best by how intrigue can be cranked up slowly with tension as taut as piano wire, which holds the attention far more, than the implausibility of a plot, overload in every scene. It's so hard to find something really good to watch, Ripley's definitely one such series imo.
