Pick of the day
The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, 9.00pm, RTÉ 2
This follow-up to The People v OJ Simpson may lack the zeitgeisty appeal of Simpson’s car chase through Los Angeles live on TV, but it’s well worth a look and just as compelling.
It explores the murder of designer Gianni Versace (played by Édgar Ramírez) by spree killer Andrew Cunanan (an impressive Darren Criss), based on Maureen Orth’s book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History.
Tonight’s double-bill fashion begins with Versace’s murder outside his Miami Beach mansion by Cunanan, then flashes back to seven years earlier, when Cunanan meets Versace at a gay nightclub in San Francisco.
