Netflix fans appear to be divided over the streamer's latest crime drama Ripley. Moreover, they can't seem to agree on Andrew Scott's performance of titular character, deadly con artist Tom Ripley.

The 47-year-old award-winning actor rose to fame portraying James Moriarty in the BBC series Sherlock and is known for being the Hot Priest in the second series of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag.

He's also starred in a number of films and theatre productions, including All Of Us Strangers alongside fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal.

Set in 1960s Italy and shot in black and white, Ripley is based on Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling Tom Ripley novels. The Night Of's Steve Zaillian serves as writer, director and executive producer.
