Ripley review: Andrew Scott forces us to question our moral choices in this creepily compelling homage to Alfred Hitchcock... I give it FIVE STARS! writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS


CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: What to make of Andrew Scott? The actor doesn't so much specialise in sexually ambivalent characters as make a fetish of them.

From the mad Professor Moriarty in Sherlock, to Fleabag ’s ‘hot priest’, and now as a coldblooded conman and killer in Ripley (Netflix), Scott’s impassive, cruelly inexpressive face is his unique asset. Based on The Talented Mr Ripley by Patricia Highsmith, a crime classic that inspired an entire genre of psychological thrillers, this eight-part streaming series is filmed in black and white as a highly stylised noir pastiche.
