Adaptational Sexuality | |
| Ripley / int_2bb06191 | comment |
Adaptational Sexuality: Freddie Miles has a male lover in the show, while the books don't suggest he's anything other than straight. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Ripley / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: John Malkovich plays the character of Reeves Minot in the show. He played Tom Ripley in Ripley's Game (2002), and he even says he likes Ripley's name in the trailer (though in the actual show he says that about an alias he's given Ripley). | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Ripley / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: In the final scene, Inspector Ravini receives a copy of Marge's published book, which includes a dedication to Richard Greenleaf and a photograph of him — which he instantly recognises as not the man he met as Dickie. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| Ripley / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Based on his smile when dreaming about him, Tom does have at least some genuine fondness for Dickie, which is more than he shows to any other character. But that doesn't stop him from killing Dickie and stealing his identity. | |

Clark Kenting | |
| Ripley / int_7175cb16 | comment |
Clark Kenting: Inspired by the Caravaggio paintings he's been seeing, Tom attempts an incredibly audacious tactic in an interview with Ravini. After meeting him several times in his Dickie persona, Tom meets Ravini in his own identity. To trick Ravini into not recognising him, Tom uses a wig and subtle fake beard, wears a suit and uses his own mannerisms. Combined with the Caravaggio-esque dim and misleading lighting, he actually manages to get away with it. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Reeves Minot appears in the final episode. He's a major character in the rest of the books in the Ripliad, but doesn't appear in The Talented Mr. Ripley (which this series is adapting). | |

Stepford Smiler | |
| Ripley / int_83a903f6 | comment |
Stepford Smiler: Tom puts on a small smile almost constantly around Dickie and Marge, which rarely reaches his eyes. Marge does much the same whenever Ripley's around, always smiling, but with a look in her eyes that shows utter contempt. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: When integrating himself in Dickie's circle, Tom deliberately puts on a more bland and vapid persona, often replying with just "yeah" or "sure" in conversation. | |

| Ripley / int_b034d333 | comment |
Film Noir: Between the conman protagonist who's willing to murder those who get in his way and the filming of it in Deliberately Monochrome, this dark, gritty thriller can certainly be classed as Film Noir. | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Ripley / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: Than the film The Talented Mr. Ripley, which made Tom more sympathetic and Dickie more of an unrepentant asshole. The series, like the book, introduces Tom as a con-man who premeditates the murder of Dickie, while Dickie's worst sin is being a slightly-selfish trust fund kid. | |

…But He Sounds Handsome | |

…But He Sounds Handsome: Tom is an excellent conman and consummate liar, but his biggest weakness is that when impersonating someone else, he can't help but talk up "my friend Tom Ripley." | |

Artistic License | |
| Ripley / int_dd6ce5db | comment |
Artistic License: When talking to the police in Venice, Thomas states that his address is Calle Sella Rota 8. Not only does this street not face any canal (unlike his rented palace), but in Venice, houses are not numbered separately street by street, but continuosly throughout each of the six main city districts (sestieri). In reality, there could be no Calle Sella Rota 8, since in the area of sestiere Dorsoduro where the street is located, the house numbers are in mid-800s. An authentic form of address would be, for example, Dorsoduro 858, Calle Sella Rotta. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Ripley / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: The series only shows Tom having implied attracted to men (such as Dickie and the men on the Sanremo beach). This, along with the fact that it lacks his inner monologue from the book which presents him as Ambiguously Bi (even to himself), means that Tom is ambiguously gay in the series. | |

Freudian Slip: At one point, Tom accidently refers to himself in the third person. He's so used to impersonating Dickie that it's strange for him to return to his true identity. | |
