I'm still reading "Ripley". You mean the logo? If you mean the logo, then unlock please those shows for me to correct them in capital letters as they are: "THE BLACKLIST", "LA CASA DE PAPEL", "NARCOS", "EL CHAPO", "LOCKED UP", "HOUSE M.D.", "HOUSE OF CARDS", "ALICE IN BORDERLAND", "BODIES", "DEXTER", "THE GENTLEMEN" and I bring you much more in time! Ok? Lets correct them!

No, not the logo. The actual title under the logo. None of the titles of the series you listed are in caplock (and some of them are not Netflix's).

The actual title under the logo is writting "Ripley"! I cannot see written anything else! What is wrong with that guys? Do you want a screenshot of mine? Just a minute...

The original / English title is "RIPLEY", as seen on the US Netflix page in my screenshot.
You have linked and are looking at the Greek Netflix page, which lists it as "Ripley" and which is set as the Greek title.

That you show me is correct, but "Ripley" is not even a Greek word or using Greek letters, pal, we just kept the English title. Our distributors does not translate always every title given. They never did in every title. Besides that, "Greek Netflix" is official too, a department of the same company. That shows by itself how "important" is that argument of yours in naming titles of each production. We have discuss this plenty of times here and some of you still don't get it. This has been written by "that guy" who was editing Netflix's web page that time and they just left it this way because IT'S UNIMPORTANT AND THEY DON'T REALLY CARE! Is this so difficult for you to understand the obvious? I wonder...

It's true. Even Netflix knows this is called Ripley:

https://about.netflix.com/news/andrew-scott-and-will-ferrell-and-harper-steele-queue-issue-17
Endemol Shine, who produced the series, know it too: https://www.banijay.com/company/endemol-shine-north-america/
As do co-producer Entertainment 360: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5W4p-lPNUv/?igsh=MWl3azBybTZsM3d0aA==
All of these companies have comms teams who, if it were a branding mandate, would've used full capitalization across the board if RIPLEY were the actual title. But it isn't -- RIPLEY on Netflix's landing page is a lone instance among many pieces of counter evidence. It therefore only makes sense to use normal capitalization here.
For further proof, compare this to the consistency with which Netflix refers to BEEF (2023).

Wow, talk about taking things literally and making fuss over nothing; Netflix apparently decided to promote the show, and therefore have it all-caps in its player, which is reflected on the details on its webpage, which also contains the same information as what is reflected on the TV app. This is purely a stylistic and marketing choice. Everywhere else the show is correctly listed as “Ripley” (which is the name of the character, not some abbreviation requiring capitalization). This includes IMDb. The same thing is true for the show “Mindhunter”, which is also is taken literally on TMDb, but has the correct non-captitalized title everywhere else.
Which site do you think is more authorative @Shei / @Banana? IMDb has been around since the 90s, and has users several orders of magnitude above TMDb which surely would have “corrected ” the title if what is stated here is true, and the links posted above by @dekadetia is further proof as well.
Kindly correct it, and stop being argumentative purely for the sake of arguing.
