Clare: While Darren Criss was magnificent as per usual, it was Penelope Cruz in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’s “Ascent” that really impressed me this week. Getting to see more of her backstory and her relationship with her brother was really interesting and getting the comparison of her here when Gianni is forced to give the reins of the company to her to when she has no choice but to take control following his murder a few years later was wonderful. Seeing her growth and her gaining in self-confidence and owning her power and creativity was great, made even more poignant with International Women’s Day.
Top moment
Clare: All hail Darren Criss and his ability to say so much with just his eyes and facial expressions. When he walked in and witnessed the brutal murder of Lincoln Aston, the shock, the horror as well as fear for his own life was all perfectly captured in Criss’ face. There is a reason that Criss is basically a shoe-in for a nomination in every limited series best actor award in the award season later this year. This was just another perfect example of that.
