    Something to do with if only there'd be gay marriage none of this would have happened, the absolutely cracking cast are the only decent thing (other than the cinematography) that is worth keeping from this dreadfully clichéd 'dramatisation' which makes everyone seem as shallow as presumably they really are (so I guess that's authentic) where the writer(s) and director seem to think thatSomething to do with if only there'd be gay marriage none of this would have happened, the absolutely cracking cast are the only decent thing (other than the cinematography) that is worth keeping from this dreadfully clichéd 'dramatisation' which makes everyone seem as shallow as presumably they really are (so I guess that's authentic) where the writer(s) and director seem to think that simply piling on the dead bodies constitutes a narrative (this could have been Shakespeare's debate with Middleton). Might just have made a half-decent feature film, clearly FX were desperate for something to fill their schedules.… Expand

    I do not understand why Spanish actors are used in this. Their accents are horrible. There were no Italian actors around? Nonsense.

    The details are less familiar than the O.J. Simpson trial, the subject of Crime Story's acclaimed first season, which makes the reverse chronology of the parallel narratives even more compelling and disturbing. [22 Jan - 4 Feb 2018, p.12]

    The Assassination of Gianni Versace is a formidable piece of work, brilliant in its characterizations and harrowing in its depictions of the amorality of American culture's dark underside.

    The show is clearly hoping that audiences will share that stereotypically Italian trait as it channels Federico Fellini and The Godfather. Murphy is more of a workman than a high artist, though, and his meanderings here muddle an intrinsically strange, socially resonant story.
