After the brilliant first season of American Crime Story, exploring the murder trial of OJ Simpson, I did wonder whether the team behind the hit show would be able to reach those heights again. However, the second instalment, Versace, if at times a little confusing, was an incredible journey into the psyche of a disturbed serial killer.
To start with, the name of this instalment of American Crime Story is a little misleading. The show spends very little time on the assassination of the titular character, and the Versace family in general, instead favouring the exploration of the man behind the murder of Versace: Andrew Cunanan. This has led to criticism of the show from some, but I understand why the show took this tack - when it comes to serial killers, we tend to be more intrigued by the killers themselves than their victims, even if one of those victims is themselves famous.
