Inside Look: The Assassination of Gianni Versace - American Crime Story

This series has bn utterly compelling as well as beautifully cast. The biggest prize should surely be awarded to Darren Criss for his brilliant performance as a serial killer.

Can I lock you in there. You sure can. Is what I would say, take my keys. Sir I have children - pow. This Cunanan is vile beyond belief. I truly don't think there is a word that can describe him. So with that said...the actors receive A+++++++ . They were so encompassing and believable. They sure did the job asked of them. I can't wrap my brain around such hate. I just am speechless.

I started watching the first 3 episodes and was getting increasingly frustrated by this format of jumping back in time every new episode, I'd recorded the whole series and after reading other reviews I thought I'd rather watch the story unfold in the normal time frame. Whoever thought of showing the story the way they did needs a jolly good talking to. My advice is watch the episodes 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 9 in that order forget that that it's called "The Assassination of Gianni Versace", in fact get a sticker and write "The Life, Loves and Deaths of Gianni Versace's Assassin" and stick that on the box, then it'll all make a lot more sense and be a great deal more watchable.

The sadness of this story based on real events is unbearable at times. Darren Criss gives life to Andrew Cunanan, the killer of Gianni Versace. His performance reminded me that Cunanan was a human being and at the same time there is practically no room for sympathy. Cunanan in Criss's eyes is compelling, terrifying and utterly pitiful. The series uses the murder of Gianni Versace to tell us the sordid tale of his killer. The series is structured in a way that forces you to pay attention. I liked it but I seem to be in the minority there. Loved Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace. She's great fun to watch and Edgar Ramirez is a dead ringer for the slain designer. Ricky Martin was a bizarre casting choice but Judith Light a stroke of genius. So, terrific, thank you.

After reading a few reviews I decided to watch 8-1 then lastly 9. Bingeworthy! Great actors, amazing acting, beautiful scenes.
