Ripley, streaming now on Netflix, reminds us what prestige TV is. In the early 2000s there was this idea that TV was going to be the salvation of narrative visual work. That promise never really materialized but every once and a while a show comes along that is so good it reminds us how great TV can truly be, something cinematic and artistic on every level. The editing, directing, writing and acting in Ripley (2024) are all so fantastic that it even competes the 1999 movie "The Talented Mr.Ripley" I may even like this version of "Ripley" more. Andrew Scott's portrayal of Tom Ripley is in many ways more complex and nuanced than Matt Damon's interpretation of the character of Tom Ripley. It's very difficult to create a good remake and even harder to create a remake of piece of media (movie or TV show) when that media is well-liked and well-done. Ripley is able to create a streaming show that is unique from the original, bringing up new themes, ideas, and aesthetics, while still staying true to the overall themes and story. Excellent show on Netflix, high recommend!
