Andrew Scott Leads the Intrigue in Netflix’s Ripley

Andrew Scott takes you on a gripping journey of deception and identity in Netflix's 'Ripley,' where every shadow tells a story.

Netflix’s adaptation of Patricia Highsmith‘s “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” part of the series known as the “Ripliad,” brings a fresh perspective to the complex narrative of Tom Ripley, masterfully played by Andrew Scott. This eight-part journey from New York’s seedy edges to the opulence of Italy chronicles Ripley’s evolution from small-time crook to a sophisticated impostor embroiled in deception, identity theft, and murder against a lush, international backdrop.

TV

Tom Ripley’s tale begins in a New York hostel, scraping by through minor frauds, until a chance presents itself in the form of Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), and his girlfriend, Marge (Dakota Fanning). Scott’s performance as Ripley is magnetic, embodying the character’s multifaceted nature — from his dark impulses to his ability to charm and manipulate those around him, reflecting the nuanced themes Highsmith explored in her novel.

The visual narrative of the series is distinctively rendered in black and white, adopting a noir style that amplifies the atmospheric tension and psychological exploration of Ripley’s maneuvers. The aesthetic choice of black and white underscores the series’ noir influences and significantly contributes to building the mood and suspense, from the reflection of Ripley in rain puddles to the smoke-filled rooms of Italian bars.

Eliot Sumner delivers a memorable performance as Freddie Miles, whose presence and subsequent investigation add layers of complexity and urgency to the narrative, challenging Ripley’s cunning with implications that ripple through the storyline. Sumner’s portrayal adds a tangible tension to the plot, embodying the high society lifestyle that Ripley so desperately seeks to infiltrate and mimic.

The series probes themes of envy, identity, and the lengths to which one might go to seize the life they desire. It questions the essence of identity and the morality of ambition through Ripley’s engagements, especially his intricate relationship with characters like the observant Marge and the determined Inspector Ravini (Maurizio Lombardi), whose interactions with Ripley add depth and intrigue to the unfolding drama.

While the series’ pacing and style might not appeal to all, its exploration of character, meticulous attention to detail, and philosophical depth offer a profound experience for viewers willing to dive into its nuanced storytelling. Netflix’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley” is a thoughtful reimagining of Highsmith’s iconic antihero, brought to life with a sophistication that both respects the original works and brings new insights to the fore.
