Ripley: Limited Series

"Andrew Scott is absolutely spellbinding."

"Takes forever to go nowhere."

"Plays as if it were a Hitchcock series Hitchcock never made."

"Its gloomy tone won’t suit everyone, but it’s rare to see film noir this exquisitely crafted on TV."

"The main draw of the series is aesthetic rather than dramatic."

"The typically very good Andrew Scott... feels all wrong for this."

"Arduous rather than enticing."

"Be in no doubt, this adaptation is stunning. It is a work of art."

"A vacuous flop."

"Even Andrew Scott can't salvage this colourless thriller."

"A scrupulous, stylish adaptation."

"Worthy of extending into future installments."

"Scott holds it all together with a gripping performance."

"The best and most beautiful interpretation... to date."

"Zaillian takes a weird, sullen approach to Patricia Highsmith’s novel."

"An incredible remake."

"Feels fresh enough to send a chill down your spine."

"The steely execution of Ripley, both disappointing and invigorating, makes its case."

"An escapist vacation worth sinking into."

"The best Talented Mr. Ripley adaptation yet."

"It can almost be as tedious as doing one’s own banking. But Scott’s performance... is outstanding."

"The tension in this Ripley series is stretched to the max, in a confident and exciting way."

"Looks great, but casting men in their 40s as the callow expats hurts the story."

"Conceptually (and) visually wry, lushly hyper-referential and packed with winks."
