"Andrew Scott's Spellbinding Portrayal in Netflix's Chilling 'Ripley': A Review"
TL;DR Summary
Netflix's "Ripley" reimagines Patricia Highsmith's character with a cold, clinical take on Tom Ripley, portrayed by Andrew Scott, as a predator in the 1960s. The series, directed by Steven Zaillian and featuring stunning cinematography by Robert Elswit, presents a dour and ice-cold mood, emphasizing Ripley's amoral nature. The show's visual confidence and Scott's calibrated performance make it a well-made piece of television, although it may be too slow for viewers seeking more tension.
