The Best TV Shows of 2018 (So Far)

19. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story (FX)

Anthology series. 9 episodes.
The second iteration of Ryan Murphy’s true crime anthology is not nearly as mesmerizing as The People v. O.J. Simpson, maybe because it doesn’t have David Schwimmer saying “Juice” repeatedly. Still, this one, which focuses on what led the serial killer Andrew Cunanan (played by Darren Criss) to slay the fashion designer (Édgar Ramírez, with Penélope Cruz, pictured, as his sister, Donatella) in 1997, is a fascinating study of a total psycho who loved cheesy dance music and should appeal to fans of, well, American Psycho.
