Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Karin_Reimertz The first season deserves all that good credit its been given. Brilliant actors and for me who wasn't old enough to have any interest in following the trial when it happened - but as everyone else has heard so much about it - it was really interesting to follow the twists and turns of it. Really enjoyed the first season, which is best described as a really good, interesting trial show, and based on a true story.So here comes season two - another famous murder in american (modern) history. And about there all similarities to season one ends. It's a murder, heavily covered in the press, that took time not to long ago in the US. Everything else of the story-line is completely different. We dont get a trial. We dont get twists. Instead its a whole other show, which for me was so disappointing. If this much "creativity" is allowed from one season to the next, I guess season three or four may very well take off in "Jane the virgin" (that show also takes place in the US, with famous people, and has some cops and murders in it) ((If you dont know what show "Jane the virgin" is, its a classic telenovela drama/comedy/romance)). So my only advise is, if you didn't like season one - have a try at season two! For me, I gave up after a few episodes of the second season, because that surely wasn't my cup of tea at all. Can strongly recommend season one though.
cfrost-deforesta01 Season 1 was fantastic, season 2 was dreadfully slow placed and just plain boring.
ronnbro-2 I was so excited and enjoyed the series until the ending because of the made up suicide of Versace's partner. Made me question the whole story. So, every gay person in the film was murdered or killed themseleves. All the gay guys are self-loathing or weaklings or murderers. Why? And this from an out gay producer? There were definitely amazing moments and Emmy deserving acting (Darren Criss, Judith Light, Max Greenfield and Edgar Rameriz) but the final message was so wrong and not truthful. Kind of left me feeling a bit dissed. Worth the journey but not the destination.
sirenebern I have just finished watching Season 2 (The Assassination of Gianni Versace). I think this series has high production quality -- it looks gorgeous and the music pumps up the drama to operatic heights -- and good performances from the well-cast actors. Darren Criss, Edgar Ramirez and Penelope Cruz stand out. Judith Light is also compellingly brittle as Marilyn Miglin, who comes off as the Queen of Da Nile. The director uses the technique of cutting back and forth in time to reveal the motivations of the various individuals (mainly Versace's killer Andrew Cunanan), but this I found this annoying as the series went on. Like, get on with it! I also grew weary of the showmakers' obvious attempts to make the viewer pity Cunanan, and to almost beg you to excuse his brutal murders because his dad was a lying jerk and he wasn't as rich or socially successful as he thought he should be. I will give this series credit for showing how vicious Cunanan's acts were--they don't sugar-coat it too much--but viewers should be fully aware that the show's writers fill in gaping holes in the evidence with speculation, romanticized dream sequences (which I found questionable in taste considering they involve real-life murder victims who cannot speak for themselves), and just plain fiction. So enjoy "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" for what it is--dramatic, lurid TV opera loosely based on real events--and do not expect the full, true story of what happened.
