Andrew Scott heads the cast of Ripley, the late great Robin Williams is the focus of A Life in Ten Pictures, Star Trek: Discovery returns for a fifth season, while it's adieu to Dragons’ Den . . .
Pick of the Day
Ripley, Netflix
Andrew Scott plays Tom Ripley. Dakota Fanning plays Marge Sherwood. Johnny Flynn plays Dickie Greenleaf in the latest take on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel, The Talented Mr Ripley.
There was - of course - the 1999 film written and directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home.
Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder, in a limited series that certainly looks the business.
