Groundbreaking series. Since Breaking Bad, Madmen, and Better Call Saul this the one that changes a lot in the terms what you can do with a TV series, even this is a limited series, but to turn the original story in 8 one hour episodes is a creative feat. Especially the writing, directing, cinematography, editing, use of music, and acting are superb and to certain extent visionary. Congrats to the crew and the talent! The collaboration is a step above many good TV shows, e.g. like a miniseries Masters of the Air from AppleT+ that is very good, but still below Ripley. It's not just the talent, actors, but the whole creative output is a school in master filmmaking and miniseries genre too.
Netflix series “Ripley” represents a career high for Andrew Scott and is likely to place him in contention for an acting Emmy. But in the midst of his professional success, the actor has privately been grieving his mother, who died less than a month before the series premiered.
“I can’t disappear the fact that this has happened in the midst of all this,” he says. “The juxtaposition of these two extremes in my life where all these projects are coming out, and I’ve had to be much more public-facing than I usually am, at a time when I’m going through this extraordinary personal loss.”
In his Variety cover story, Scott discusses his character’s sexuality, his friendship with Taylor Swift and carrying on his mother’s legacy. Read it now: https://lnkd.in/d5gksisH
"I'm just the guy who does the thing."
