Ripley is an American drama series which aired on Netflix. The series premiered in 2024.
Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.
Andrew Scot is great as Thom Ripley. The story is very slow and the recurring building tension is unbearable. All this takes place in an atmospheric setting and there is so much attention to detail, and the choice to film everything in black and white is genius in my opinion.
