What happens

Ripley is an American neo-noir psychological thriller miniseries created, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 crime novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Starring Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, the eight-episode limited series is the first adaptation of Highsmith's novel to a series. Ripley was set to air on Showtime, but in February 2023 the series was moved to Netflix. It premiered on April 4, 2024, and received critical praise for its writing, directing, craftsmanship, and performances, particularly for Scott as Tom Ripley. At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, it received 14 nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and acting nods for Scott and Fanning, and won four, including Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Zaillian. The series also won a Peabody Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
