Andrew Scott Is Utterly Charmless in Netflix’s Somber ‘Ripley’: TV Review

Netflix's adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's "The Talented Mr. Ripley" features Andrew Scott in a darker, less captivating narrative. Set in Rome in 1961, the series follows Tom Ripley, a cunning thief who impersonates Dickie Greenleaf. Despite visually striking cinematography and atmospheric setting, the series struggles with pacing and lacks character depth, lacking the allure and intrigue of its predecessors.
