After years of using IMDB without an account after watching Ripley I had to leave a review. This is simply an excellent adaptation by Netflix and stand out performance by very talented Andrew Scott. Maurizio Lombardi dominates the scenes with his performance as inspector Ravini and his style of interrogations reminds my of Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds. The details in each scene and continuity across the episodes makes for a great story. Characters who make small observations eg hotel staff are often leveraged later in the story and no character is irrelevant. Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn are both fantastic in this show. The story has been told and used many times however Ripley brings the story to the masses and it is still enjoyable for those who know the story so pause your views on the comparisons and enjoy this excellent adaptation.
