Black perspectives haven't always been centered in the telling of America's story.

Now we're taking center stage.

You just can't trust Tom Ripley.

The character was created by novelist Patricia Highsmith and made indelible by Matt

Damon in the film The Talented Mr. Ripley. He's back again for a new generation

this time played by Andrew Scott and unsurprisingly now he's on Netflix in a series called

simply Ripley.

Tom once again worms his way into the life of one Dickie Greenleaf who will realize

too late that becoming the focus of Tom's attention is going to

seriously complicate his life of luxury in Italy. I'm Glenn Weldon and I'm

Linda Holmes and today we're talking about Ripley on pop culture happy hour from

NPR.
