I've seen the previous two adaptations of the novel adapted here (The Talented Mr. Ripley). Though I commend the attempt to drag this out into a television series the writing had too many implausible moments. There is one in particular that derails the entire project. Fans of the previous two adaptations will ignore that and give it a pass.
Where this series thrives is in its cinematography and filming locations. The Moorish (misnomered as Black, African, etc.) architecture (misnomered as Italian, Roman, Greek, etc.) is fabulous. Its a doorway to the old Moorish Empire which was dissolved into the present day nation states after the world wide revolutions of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The overall writing isn't bad and the cinematography is fantastic. Its very well worth a watch.
