‘Gianni Versace’
“The Assassination of Gianni Versace” takes a meticulous approach to staging its title, set on Miami Beach, in the premiere at 10 p.m. Wednesday on FX. The start offers a grim mix of glamour, gore and voyeurism.
Darren Criss is chilling as Andrew Cunanan, who gunned down the fashion designer in 1997, but does the serial killer merit an eight-part series?
The strong cast includes Édgar Ramírez (as Versace), Penélope Cruz (as sister Donatella Versace), Ricky Martin and Judith Light. The series carries the “American Crime Story” brand, which delivered a classic about O.J. Simpson. “Versace” feels stretched and padded.
