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 04/26/2024
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.

It’s a thoroughly entertaining game. If not a little unsettling. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 04/18/2024
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. Go to Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Mar 1
that dichotomy—wishing success for a sick sociopath—keeps viewers hooked, not just in this version but in other interpretations, sequels, and Highsmith’s five novels featuring Ripley. Go to Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada 03/05/2025
...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] Go to Full Review Jen Shieff New Zealand Herald 01/09/2025
5/5
Robert Elswit’s exquisite black-and-white cinematography makes every scene worth watching. Shots of Atrani, Rome and Venice belong in an art gallery. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve A @RT92021794 May 29 Really Really Liked this show....so well done! very creative and compelling ! Love the B/W idea so cool ! See more Lou T @RT73675507 May 28 A very well told story throughout and beautifully shot. Maybe it felt a little too long in some episodes but that was quickly replaced by more anticipation to find out what happens next! It's not a predictable story at all which makes it all the more engaging. I believe some might find it to be too slow or annoyed with the characters for not seeing the facts. The actors and especially Andrew Scott are excellent! I would recommend to watch. See more bob C @RT46426964 May 16 Very good adaptation. Scott a good Ripley. But black and white? Compare Alain Delon 1960 version with sparkling colour of coastal Italy. Shoulda had a second season. In colour with Malkovich as Reeves. See more Charlotte S @RT33812180 Apr 17 A stark retelling. While the Jude Law / Matt Damon version gives more chemistry and sexual tension, this series explores the narrative of the source material with a significantly sharper and more unforgiving eye. Andrew Scott excels as a true antihero. Awkward, unrelenting, and enthralling. The only thing missing is Philip Seymour Hoffman. See more Stefanie S @Stefmoviereview0519 Apr 15 Beautiful landscape and minimalism through and through. I see Andrew Scott, and I watch it. See more John S @RT00608087 Mar 18 Absolutely masterful. Andrew Scott is superb and the B&W cinematography is so beautiful! See more Read all reviews
