Tom Ripley is back – and we still can’t trust him. The character – created by novelist Patricia Highsmith – was made indelible by Matt Damon in the film The Talented Mr. Ripley. Now he’s played by Andrew Scott in a Netflix series simply titled Ripley. Tom once again sneaks into the life of one Dickie Greenleaf and attempts to sabotage his luxurious life in the Italian countryside.
