Ripley | Official Trailer | Netflix

Don't call him talented.

The one with Matt Damon was great! Don't think you can top it

💯 in cinematography

Essa serie muuuuuuuuiiiito boa

I finished watching the series…. hrmmmm…. if I remember correctly, Ripley is waaaayyyyyyyy more likeable than Andrew Scott's portrayal.
Andrew plays him "out there" creepy………. dark, unfriendly, nasty.
Whereas Matt Damon played him down-to-earth, sweet, friendly.
I'm tempted to buy the books to remind myself just how nice Mr Ripley was.

Freddie is played by Sting's daughter.

He's such a good baddie.

Just watched episode 1, wowee!!
Does anyone else regularly jump out of their skin at the Netflix logo sound? That, "Duh dunguuhhh!" from out of nowhere.
It's too loud.

All is good, but I am not convinced enough with script… there are so many loopholes….specially with the investigation… I just wasted my time I guess…..

Hello jim moriarty…😅

Some views of the Italian setting are stunning but they move too fast to have a good look at them. In the past, images lingered so you could appreciate them. Nowadays, you have a split second to watch an image – as in today's pop music videos!

I love, love, love Andrew Scott but I didn't binge-watch the series because as Ripley, he creeped me out and I'd have to take a break to dissipate the feeling of unease and something sinister going on evoked by Andrew's incredible portrayal of Tom Ripley.

Is this an adaptation of the Mr.Ripley movie with Matt Damon? Because if it isn't then I just found an amazing series to watch

Ah this looks great

All in Black & White? that's annoying

The show is great except for the guy playing the main character. Whoever was in charge of casting shoul get his or her credentials revoked and never have a job in hollywood ever again. i couldnt get pass the first episode.. hate that guy whoever he is

Netflix can throw down

the sherlock teens to ripley 20-somethings pipeline real

So much better than the 1999 movie. I stopped watching the movie 15 mins in after watching the show. Garbage

This is a story of moriarty's past life…….

The original movie is MUCH MUCH better for so many reasons. Characters are dead, really dead… the scenes are vacuous for a places that are bustling in life, everything is drawn out far too much. Sting's kid obviously given the role for who he is as opposed to having an talent. Just watch the movie again, time better spent.

Nada que ver con la película de Mart Dammon y Jude Law, no hay old Money , glamour , buenos actores , nadie se ve ahí de dinero viejo .

This show offers phenomenal value. I enjoyed every single second

First I was a bit annoyed by the loong scenes, with 100 miles stares. Then i started to appreciate this pace. This is how Italy should be relished, absorbed. The small details are an antidote to Hollywood/BangBang/Transformers/Marvel cinema. It’s exquisite. With all admiration to the main actors – the police Commisar is in my opinion the absolute star.
Easilly 9/10.

Andrew Scott shows the world how good he is.
I love him so much

Amazing. 🎉🎉

Why people keep saying the Netflix series is an accurate version of the book when it isn't? It puzzles me . They never read the book and are dishonest about it just for the sake of the argument? They write whatever pops into their heads? They adore the series so much and "want to believe" that everything about it is perfect? What is it?

"Ripley" is so different to the book and the two films that I really think it should have a different title. Something like "The Obvious Psychopath". The very core of the original story is so corrupted by the series that I think 'Ripley' is not an adaptation. It's a metamorphosis.

Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley in the book and two films looks harmless and is a funny, charming, compliant young man. He is also a murderer.

A poster described Tom Ripley in the book as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Excellent! That is the soul of the original story.
But Scott, unlike the book, Alan Delon and Matt Damon, is wolf only.

The series has many parts from the book that are not in the films but they are secondary . What really matters is that the personages of the series , physically and behaviorally, are very different to the personages in the book and two films.

This is the description of Freddie Miles in the book: "…a young man with red hair and a loud sports shirt…He was also overweight". Any similarity with the skinny actress wearing stylish 21st century dark clothes in the Netflix series?

More from the book: “He could feel the belligerence growing in Freddie Miles as surely as if his huge body were generating a heat that he could feel across the room. Freddie was the kind of ox who might beat up somebody he thought was a pansy"

Can anyone imagine Sting’s daughter as an “ox’ with a “huge body” and inclined to beat up a “pansy”? Ah, the irony!

Another striking difference is the sensuality present in the book and even more in the two films but absent in the antiseptic Netflix series where Dickie and Marge act like brother and sister.  

There are many more examples of crucial differences between the book and the Netflix series. They indicate Netflix's usual political agenda and a Tom Ripley who was fabricated to please a modern audience numbed by Scandinavian noir series and the likes. Tom in the book (and films) is not the solitary, ruthless and humourless crook played by Andrew Scott.

Scott's is a corrupted , dumbed down Tom Ripley .

There is no detective in New York in the book unlike the series
Tom is not a solitary , friendless man in the book unlike the series
Tom is 25 in the book but he is played by a 47 year old actor who looks his age in the series
Tom never tried to cash the cheques unlike the series
Tom wasn't living alone in New York in the book unlike the series
Tom wasn't an all time crook and worked for the IRS (!!!) just before meeting with Dickie's father in the book unlike the series
Freddie Miles is a big man with bad taste in clothes unlike the series
Dickie wasn't any near as rich in the book as he was in the series 
Dickie had no Picasso worth a fortune in the book unlike the series
There are no parallels with Caravaggio in the book unlike the series
Tom flew to Paris and spent about a week in France after murdering Dickie unlike the series
The book has a passage about Van Gogh when Tom is in France but there is nothing about Caravaggio unlike the series
A photo of Dickie Greenleaf's face is printed on Italian magazines unlike the series
Photos of Tom Ripley's face are printed on Italian newspapers unlike the series
The American detective in Italy is a short white guy of Irish descent who can read Italian, unlike the series.
The personage played by Malkovich doesn't exist in the book
Tom inherited Dickie's money in the book unlike the series

I have just finished reading the book and am rather disappointed because of the book's colossal holes. In spite of that and because of that, I would say the book is a raw diamond and the films are polished diamonds.

But "Ripley" is dull faded plastic. Despite the exquisite cinematography.

Life was beautiful when I was reading The Talented Mr. Ripley, it was like living in 19s, writing letters to everyone, travelling around Europe.

Marvelous

Song?

Very good series ruined by making Freddy a lesbian. Why?

incredibly shot

Loved it. Slow burn but builds like a great book. Great actors too.

I've watched four times – it's amazing.

The Netflix series is so different to the book ( despite many details from the book being present only in the series) and the two better films that I even think it's some sort of plagiarism to call this series “Ripley".

The four main actors are so miscast! Especially, of course, the actors playing Tom Ripley and Freddie Miles.

Another striking difference is the sensuality present in the book and even more in the two films but absent in the antiseptic Netflix series where Dickie and Marge act like brother and sister. 

Scott's Tom looks miserable or too serious all the time. What rich, spoiled, fun loving Dickie Greenleaf would like to have someone like him around? The best way to see the nonsense of Scott's performance is to watch Alain Delon as Tom in "Plein Soleil". He is always smiling and trying to have fun. Incidentally, he was 25 at the time of the film. Matt Damon was 29 at the time of Minghella's film. Scott Andrew at 47 and looking it could be the father of those actors at the time of their films. And don't give me the lame excuse that Scott is a more mature Ripley. He is supposed to be 25 in the series. This is from the first episode: 

Dickie's mother asks Tom: "Did you go to college here (NY) ?" He lies and says Princeton. Her reply : Your parents must be very proud of you!"

Now who would say that to an "aged", "mature" Tom in his forties? She said that to a personage who was supposed to be 25 as he is in the book! It's pretty obvious.

This is from a recorded conversation with Patricia HIghsmith in the British Library. The interviewer asks if "The Talented Mr. Ripley" was originally supposed to be a one off film. She says " yes". Then the interviewer asks why she changed her mind and wrote sequels. These are Patricia Highsmith's very words:

"Maybe, in a curious way, The French film affected me in a positive way because Alain Delon did such a good job … the right age ….One hundred percent correct "

I guess that the adoration for Andrew Scott's mediocre, nonsensical interpretation of Tom Ripley is caused mainly by an audience numbed by too many Scandinavian noir series and the likes. They need an obvious villain otherwise they will feel nothing.

On the other hand, I suspect the main reason for the success of the series is its exquisite cinematography. But there is something wrong about a series or film where the images are more important than the story.

In addition, it's clear that most people praising the Netflix series never read the book, never watched the first and best film , watched the second film 20 years ago if they watched it at all. Considering all that, it's an easy guess that most people praising this mediocre series to high heaven are watching Patricia Highsmith's story for the first time. 

I guess I would probably like the series if I hadn't read the book and watched the two films, especially René Clément's film and the "voluptuous" colours created by the revolutionary cinematographer Henri Decaë. But I would still find strange that a spoiled , rich young man enjoying life in a paradisiacal village with a beach would like to have around him a miserable looking guy such as the nonsensical Tom Ripley created by Scott Andrew.

What is the purpose of making film in BW? Looks pretentious and unreasonable

Wish more TV was in this class. Superb.

Ripley is an exceptional series that artfully balances suspense and intrigue. Though its pace is deliberate, it never feels slow, continually gripping the viewer. The black and white cinematography enhances the sense of mystery, and the visual artistry is impressive. The actors' performances are outstanding, particularly Scott, who shines in his portrayal of a character with a dual personality. The series has a Hitchcockian feel, reminiscent of psychological thrillers like *Rope*. Each time the lift moves, the tension escalates, and the repeated scenes with the Fiat 500 and almost-erased blood stains remind us of a pre-DNA testing era. The ever-watchful cat adds to the suspense. Although I haven't finished the series yet, its ability to generate such tension, despite knowing the plot, is remarkable.

He had so many opportunities where he could have had the chance to live there peacefully for free … but then again it's Ripley we're talking about
