THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
New series ***½
Thursday 8.30pm, ShowcaseRyan Murphy’s work always lists toward the camp but if it was ever appropriate it’s in the latest edition of American Crime Story, exploring the 1997 murder of Gianni Versace. Once again Murphy has attracted a stellar crew, from writer Tom Robb Smith to Edgar Ramirez as Gianni and Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace. The production values are lush. And the plot, which focuses chiefly on the hunt for the killer, is as complex as it is suspenseful.
