This week’s MVP:
Darren Criss gets to showcase his impressive range as we dive further back into the past, and the Andrew Cunanan we see of episode 8 is a stark contrast to the detached stone-cold killer of early episodes. The confrontation in The Philippines has Andrew resolve to never become a conman like his father, but by episode’s end we see him taste his first lie, putting him on track to become a man lost in his own delusions. Darren Criss delivers another tremendous performance as the show seeks to answer the question “What motivates Andrew?”, earning 56.3% of your vote.
Honorable mention:
As if tracking the psychology of a spree killer didn’t the turn the stomach enough, Jon Jon Briones steps up to deliver one of the most chilling and revulsive performances of the season as Modesto Cunanan, a slick-but-not-slick-enough conman who leaves his family destitute and homeless after he is caught stealing money. This memorable turn has earned him an honorable mention with 40.6% of your vote.

“Nobody gives a shit how hard you work. This is about being what people want” gives us the definitive statement to Andrew Cunanan’s modus operandi. In this episode we see Cunanan rejected for his half-Filipino heritage, but rewarded with wealth, status, and admiration when he glosses over the racial and financial details of his life. Darren Criss shines as we delve deeper into the inner workings of our main character, getting to turn up his trademark charm as Cunanan seduces his way into more accomplished men’s lives. Darren earns this week’s MVP award with 70.4% of your vote.

The week we see Andrew Cunanan at two extremes, luxuriating in wealth and opportunities, and by episode’s end, alone, desperate for money, and deeply unhappy. Major credit goes to Darren Criss’ ability to portray Cunanan’s appropriately titled descent in a captivating performance as Cunanan is faced with rejection from his love interest, his best friend, and finally his benefactor. Darren rightfully continues to receive massive amounts of praise this season, and wins this week’s MVP award with 87.2% of your vote.
