American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace
BBC Two, 9pm
Before murdering Gianni Versace, Andrew Cunanan had already killed four men, and the third episode of Ryan Murphy’s “true crime” drama focuses on his third and fourth victims — the Chicago property tycoon Lee Miglin and William Reese, a caretaker. Miglin (Mike Farrell from M*A*S*H) is portrayed as a closeted gay client of Cunanan (his family deny this) and is murdered in a sadistic scene, while Reese is killed for his lorry. If Murphy’s motivation with this Versace-free episode was to add depth to Cunanan (Darren Criss), it fails — we still know very little about why he embarked on his murder spree, other than the fact that he’s a sociopath.
