This story has been brought to the screen before, but this iteration feels fresh and alluring, just charming and unnerving enough to demand attention and leave a lasting impression.

Being one of the best-looking shows ever made would’ve been enough for Ripley to make the cut—that it’s also an engrossing character study anchored by an Emmy-worthy performance is the icing on the cake.

I implore you to lose yourself in this intriguing story of identity, obsession and imitation. This story is worthy of a series as it gives time for strong character developments - audiences can truly live their experience - and a deeper plot analysis.

You better be good if you’re going to play this game, and Zaillian, a veteran screenwriter with no films under his belt as director that anticipate this level of finesse, rises to the occasion

While Ripley may not have been a needed remake, the miniseries does an excellent job of laying all the intricacies of Highsmith’s novel bare.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Netflix gives the famous novel The Talented Mr. Ripley another adaptation with all the production quality it deserves and gives us more of Andrew Scott's innate charisma. What more can we ask?

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 4, 2024

There’s always something intoxicating about watching profoundly talented people, even if they are evil.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 3, 2024

Whatever the shortcomings of either the original novel or this new adaptation, the latter demonstrates an exemplary degree of artistic seriousness and intelligence. It is a slap in the face of contemporary cultural backwardness and degradation..

Adapter/director Steven Zallian has done the supremely difficult --he has made a villain the rooting interest of the story, helped enormously by Andrew Scott as the incredibly dark, slithering manipulator.

A great series with many high points, giving us new insights and emotions from a story kown.

Full Review | Original Score: A | May 23, 2024

It’s a crime story that boils down to a cat-and-mouse drama (will he get away with it?), but no character is particularly appealing, and viewers leave the show with that all-too-familiar feeling in modern media consumption: “So what?”

Full Review | May 18, 2024

For as gorgeous as Ripley looks — truly, I was looking up flights to Italy after I watched the series — there's a missing piece to the series that becomes its own undoing.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | May 9, 2024

This methodically made and acted series isn’t just a throwback to the paperback thriller era of its source material -- Ripley feels timeless, and, as such, refreshingly timely.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | May 8, 2024

I have to admit, while I enjoyed watching it, I sometimes let it play out in the background like exquisite, moving wallpaper.

“Ripley" is a suspenseful excursion into the damaged mind of a depraved person and a stunning evocation of the beauty and allure of Italy in 1961, at the height of “la dolce vita." Andrew Scott is outstanding. "Ripley” is an extraordinary must-see.

Scripted and directed by Steven Zaillian, the eight-episode Netflix series moves at a deliberate, detail-oriented pace perfectly suited to its midcentury setting.

Full Review | Apr 26, 2024

Andrew Scott excels as a ccn man who makes life hell for Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn in Steve Zaillian’s partly exhilarating, partly exasperating slow burn of a series (it’s eight hours) that builds tremendous suspense as evil rots in the Italian sun.

Full Review | Apr 26, 2024

Never betraying a hint of warmth, [Andrew Scott's] daring performance delivers the chilling reality of a man for whom empathy exists entirely outside his emotional reach.

Full Review | Apr 23, 2024

The astounding photography in Zaillian‘s version of Ripley [...] is almost a character in its own right, as Ripley is more a ‘setting’ than a ‘personality’, or rather his setting becomes his personality — a social media influencer’s dream.

Full Review | Apr 20, 2024

An arty, inert snooze. Its flat portrayal of the title character doesn’t come close to the novels or other fantastic adaptations.
