Critics Consensus

The Assassination of Versace starts with a bang and unfurls slowly, moving backward through an intricate (and occasionally convoluted) murder mystery anchored by a career-defining performance from Darren Criss.

I enjoyed the acting and writing. I really enjoyed the reverse chronological order format, they did that very well. The story did get boring from time to time and I felt the plot did get a little lost toward the end. I think it should have a different title because, it was not really about the assassination, it was about Andrew and how he became him. It would have been much better if the plot didn't go back and forth to random people at times that made no sense on why are we watching this particular scene.

Really amazing show. Adds great drama to the killings of Andrew Cunanan while telling the story in an interesting, backwards sort of fashion. Darren Criss did a great job at portraying him, his expressions, motions, and way he talks was phenomenal acting. The characters are easy to sympathize with. I also really enjoyed the performance of Penélope Cruz. Made me cry. The scene where Andrew kept repeating "accept it" was my absolute favorite and a work of art. Definitely take the time to watch this one, as it is only 9 episodes and not a second is wasted on unnecessary dialogue. 5 stars!

I'm not the type of person to review media or even consider my opinion noteworthy, but this is one of the most excellent things I have ever watched.

It would have been nice to have the actors that played the Versace s to be actuall italian. The spanish accent was strong . And the story is a bit confusing. I know they are moving in different time periods but a bit weird done for me!

A franchise that started off strong with the People v. OJ falls flat this time. Is this another season of AHS or ACS? It's hard to tell with the unnecessary padding of the story. I honestly don't know what to believe.
