Imagine binge-watching a black-and-white TV show that is intense in matter, manner and everything in between. “Ripley” is a thrilling TV series that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its exciting story and interesting characters. And it would offer you exactly that.
Based on a famous book, it explores the dark world of lies, cheating, and crime in New York during the 1960s.
With talented actors like Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn, and Dakota Fanning, “Ripley” was released just this week. It was created and directed by Steven Zaillian. He does not have a great filmography as a director but he got this opportunity nonetheless.
One special thing about “Ripley” is its unique look. The whole show is filmed in black and white, which helps to create the feeling of the 1960s. Let’s not over criticise the series to sound intellectual but the black and white effect certainly raises the intensity of the show.
The story follows Tom Ripley, played by Andrew Scott, as he tries to convince a young man to come back home from Italy. But things get complicated quickly, and Tom finds himself tangled in a world of lies and danger.
The actors’ performances bring the characters to life, especially Andrew Scott’s portrayal of Tom Ripley. He shows us how charming and cunning Tom can be as he tries to go through his tricky life.
“Ripley” is not just about solving a mystery; it’s also about understanding people and their desires. It is very much like Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Catch Me If You Can” but more intense.
In summary, “Ripley” is streaming on Netflix India. If you are interested in watching such intense thrillers, you know where you need to go.
