Netflix is revisiting Patricia Highsmith’s enduring anti-hero: Tom Ripley.

While an inheritance can be a great honor, it can also come with responsibility that can’t be realized until you have the entire situation laid out before you. This is the case for Eddie, who inherits a Dukeship - and more trouble than he could have imagined - in The Gentlemen.

The “troubled teen industry” is full of normal teenagers with rich parents - at least in many cases - and for truely troubled kids, places like The Academy at Ivy Ridge were abusive and NOT helpful.

The Murdaugh Murders has quite the body count - that we know of - but the unraveling of the power the family had over Hampton County began in earnest with an event in 2019: the boat crash. Mallory Beach lost her life, the other young adults involved were traumatized, and the fallout from this scandal that couldn’t be covered up would result in more tragedy years later.
