Ripley is an adaptation that keeps you on edge.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ripley might not be the first adaptation of the classic novel it is based on, but the Netflix series sure makes you feel like it's the first time you have been transported into Thomas Ripley's world of lies.

Pros Cons Ripley is based on Patricia Highsmith's award-winning 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, the first of a series of books focused on the character Tom Ripley. While there were a few adaptations of Highsmith's book prior to the Netflix show, Ripley succeeds by trying to be something different from what came before. With a strong story, the show needed to find the perfect cast, and Ripley's trio of leads proved mostly perfect fits for their characters.
The noir feel of the show is a perfect fit for its story about lies and murder, serving to elevate the tension of the series as the plot progresses. Adding to a carefully crafted story that extended the contents of what had been told in a movie, Ripley lets its events breathe. There are prolonged scenes with little to no dialogue that serve to let characters — and viewers — catch their breath and collect their thoughts after nerve-wracking events. All of that is paired with the aesthetic choice to film Ripley entirely in black and white.
