RIPLEY Reviews

The greatest short series I have ever watched. Beautifully done cinematography, incredible acting (other than Freddie, they almost ruined the show for me, they were most definitely a diversity pick), and wonderfully entertaining story. I have seldom seen such excellence in film.

This is pure art 👌 My adhd brain at first didn’t have enough patience to watch those slow scenes, but it was so good that by the end I couldn’t stop watching. Absolutely mesmerising shots, great acting, clues, everything in general was amazing. Andrew Scott and Italian scenery 🤌

What a great era what a great show!!

Phenomenal. Another show where everything is art - a series that is so thought out and meticulous. LOVED every minute of it. Do not compare this to the movie - they should be taken in as separate. Both are immaculate.

So beautifully made, full of artistic shots and really good actors. Combining a thriller with great artists(their work and life story) such as Caravaggio (my favourite painter) and Italy made a marvellous film, one I enjoyed very much and felt like it suited my soul perfectly.

I think this show is going for something that I’m just not getting.

Disappointing despite it’s beautiful cinematography and fantastic performances

Was too creepy, couldn’t finish it. Maybe in another life.. my nerves way too frayed in this one to allow a series fray them further. Perhaps for those who like terror and suspense .. it’s a hard pass for me. Sowee

6.5/10
atmospheric

It started a bit slow but I ended up loving this show!

Lucio Is my fave character!

Loved it so much

Andrew Scott never disappoints me! i even forgot that i was watching the show in black and white, i could’ve sworn i was seeing colors that’s how good it was 😂

I was intrigued from episode 1! And at first I was backing Tom, but as soon as he went off the rails I thought, oh surely he’ll get caught. And every episode after that I said the same. For an intelligent grifter he surely made some mistakes.
And what’s crazy to me is all of it could have been solved with a simple photo. The Inspector not having Dickie or Tom’s photo to show hotel clerks and apartment owners is insane! Man could have saved himself the legwork.
But the show is so beautifully shot! It’s like if Wes Anderson made a gritty thriller in Italy. And to make it in black and white in today’s age is bold! I loved it though! Made every scene so bold and focused more on the landscapes and actors themselves. Such a great cast as well, some BIG names showed out. Wish Netflix would make more series like this!!

8/10

Beautiful views on Italy. Nice pace. Slow and suspenseful

I was always on the edge on my seat, feeling anxious as Ripley was endeavouring to become someone else

A banger of a show, and so fun to watch. 8.4/10.
