Ripley, the best series of the week: slow pleasure for people who skip TikTok. The remake of Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley has serious pacing problems but, oh my friends, it is beautiful.

The possibility of becoming another person (another better person, why fool ourselves) results in a flight forward that we have already seen a few times but of which we will never get tired. Let's hope the next one has a little more rhythm. And make it just as pretty.
