The first season of anthology crime series American Crime Story helmed by Ryan Murphy, swooped accolades at various award platforms. Now, the second installment of the series – The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is something you cannot afford to miss out on!
The series airs on Star World from Monday to Friday at 9 pm. Here are five reasons why this show is strongly recommended…
- We cannot emphasize on this enough! Ryan Murphy. Ryan Murphy. Ryan Murphy! The man knows how to turn film-making into an art and we do not know anyone else to whom this comes naturally!
- The series has a spectacular cast! From Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz donning the role of one of her favourite designers – Donatella Versace to Point Break, Zero Dark Thirty star Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace, the comeback of one of the most sensational singers of all time – Ricky Martin playing Gianni’s boyfriend Antonio D’Amico and Glee fame Darren Criss’ career-defining performance as serial murderer Andrew Cunanan.
- Darren Criss. Critics have gone gaga over his performance and the entire industry is talking about him! Criss definitely deserves a shout-out for his performance on the series and it is difficult for us to imagine him anywhere else!
- The fashion and glamour is breathtaking. The series not only showed Gianni in all his glory and lavish style but pieces from his final fashion show - Atelier Versace’s fall 1997 show in Paris.
- The immersive plotline! The series not only showcases the nuances of Gianni Versace’s murder, but also chronicles everything from the aftermath of Gianni’s death to the lives of each of Cunanan’s victims – painfully elaborating his life and how he managed to dodge authorities for months before he shot himself!
