why the hell did they cast such an old ripley? he looks like he's 40. this story doesnt even make sense for 40 year old men. still this show is better than 99.999999% of high profile shows in the last 2 years. that's how bad shows have gotten.

Do you think the character died in his youth or something?? 🙄
And Andrew Scott is an amazing actor - shows how much you know. [shrug]
I got used to it, his acting is great.
shareComplain to anyone who'll listen!
shareRipley and Dickie were supposed to be close to 40 in this adaption. It’s about 10 yrs after their college days where you see how they’ve been living or not living in Ripley’s case. It was by design. I believe they want to do the rest of the books. A Ripliad. Best to stay with one actor as the five books were published from 1955 to 1991. Then again, he may well be into his 60s by then. The 1999 movie and Purple Noon are also different from each other and the novel. Andrew Scott is really good as this version of Ripley.
sharei think you are right. i hadnt seen the whole show yet before i commented.
