What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bathed in opulent black and white with a reptilian Andrew Scott holding the screen hostage, Steven Zaillian's sumptuous reinterpretation of Ripley draws fresh blood from Patricia Highsmith's insidious social climber.

Peter Travers ABC News 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. Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Debi Enker The Age (Australia) It’s a thoroughly entertaining game. If not a little unsettling. Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) There are many reasons to watch this exquisite neo-noir thriller, but it’s worth highlighting just how remarkable Andrew Scott’s performance is as Tom Ripley. Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada ...a miniseries that stands out for its original and daring take on a suspense saga that still retains a surprisingly vital energy today. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Jen Shieff New Zealand Herald Robert Elswit’s exquisite black-and-white cinematography makes every scene worth watching. Shots of Atrani, Rome and Venice belong in an art gallery. Rated: 5/5 Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz 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.

E H Italy and the cinematography are perhaps the biggest stars here. Visually it's absolutely beautiful. Although Andrew Scott also goes super deep on the quiet, pleasant, polite sociopath. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Alexander L. Unbelievable cinematography Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Ommehsalma P ดูแล้วเจ็บหัวเลย โขกๆๆๆ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Kasparius T A true delight to watch, from end to end. Lavish monochrome photography, eye for detail and a new look at the Ripley material. I highly recommend this show to anyone interested in noir and crime stories. Give it some time to breathe and develop all its nuances, and enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Emerald E I honestly cannot believe I watched this whole series. I would rather watch paint dry next time. So so so boring. I hated every second of it. The best part of it was finishing it and knowing I’ll never have to watch that yawn fest again 0 stars Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Troy R Andrew Scott does a great job with the role, being both an absolutely villain at times and others a proper gentleman. The story is interesting and moves at a fast enough pace to help avoid any stale moments. It is hard to say who you should be rooting for in the show, but as you try to decide that you wonder what the creator thinks about that as well, worrying that each slip up will be the end of Tom. Ending was really good, as well as the extra ending. Was an interesting step into a time before today where dna/fingerprints/camera/etc. were not there to help solve a crime. And it showed how one dedicated detective could try to piece the puzzle together, while other police were accepting of the limitations of the time. The black and white was an interesting take. At first it kind of felt like an overly artsy decision to do, but as the show progressed it used the black and white in ways that made the choice worth not seeing the beautiful colorful Italian scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
