'American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace' transcends the murder show genre by diving deep into the lives of the victims, and 90s gay culture

"American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace" is not what its subtitle suggests. And that's a good thing.

  • "American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace" is not what its subtitle suggests.
  • Instead, the murder of Gianni Versace in 1997 serves as a starting point into the story of his killer, Andrew Cunanan.
  • The show is a necessary and poignant examination of gay culture in the 90s.
  • Unlike other murder shows, it focuses on the lives of Cuanan's victims, beyond the most famous one.
  • Darren Criss, Penelope Cruz, and Ricky Martin are excellent.
