Ripley

Deze serie volgt het leven van een charismatische maar psychopathische oplichter die zijn leven opbouwt op leugens en identiteitsdiefstal. We zijn getuige van zijn gevaarlijke spel met het lot en zijn pogingen om aan de gerechtigheid te ontsnappen terwijl hij zich beweegt in de wereld van de rijken en gewetenlozen. De spanning neemt toe bij elke stap die hij zet, waardoor hij dieper in een morele afgrond wordt gedreven. Het is een boeiende verkenning van duistere psychologie en een spiegel van maatschappelijke illusies.

    Connoisseur of art, harpsichord aficionado, gardener extraordinaire, and genius of improvisational murder, the inimitable Tom Ripley finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a party. The perpetrator: Jonathan Trevanny, a picture framer from a neighboring village. Now, while an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, the game Ripley has in mind is far subtler, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course, just a chain of events that may lead to it.
