Screener reaction at Gold Derby forums part 3

I recall two times when people are having sex, both gay and both wide shots.

What else do we have on the horizon that could upset this for limited series?  The first full review that came out for this was Dan Fienberg’s, which Metacritic scored as a 70.  That sounds about right to me.  (He was admittedly harsher on the first season than most; his review was an 80 for that, ten points lower than the Metacritic weighted average and it did not make his top ten for the year.)

It was just last year that the category was so packed and it seems pretty empty right now.  Mosaic might be nominated or it might go the way of The Young Pope, which was also quickly burned off by HBO in January.  Godless has its fans, but its Golden Globe and PGA shutouts do not inspire much confidence.  Will have to watch the three screener episodes of Trust that I have, but who knows if that will even be eligible?  Other possible nominees are The Long Road Home, Manhunt: Unabomber and Gunpowder, but none of those are winning.  Genius missed PGA, but maybe the next season is amazing?

The other full review that we have so far is much more positive.  New York Post critic Robert Rorke singles out “an excellent Finn Wittrock” and “future Emmy winner Jon Jon Briones”.

“The performances of the leads are outstanding, but special mention must be made of Criss, who beautifully captures Cunanan’s ability to tell the biggest lies anyone has ever heard and literally charm the pants off anyone he sets his sights on. He’s a lot like Patricia Highsmith’s Mr. Ripley, but Ripley was a fictional creation. Cunanan […] was sadly all too real.  Murphy’s ability to showcase well-known performers in surprising cameos continues apace with gems from Mike Farrell, Max Greenfield and even Cathy Moriarty as a wily pawnshop owner.  The Assassination of Gianni Versace is more personal and heartfelt than Murphy’s The People v. O.J. Simpson, and proves that when it comes to seductive allure laced with menace, no one in TV is Murphy’s match.”
