Desolation As A Young Man
24 March 2018
The sadness of this story based on real events is unbearable at times. Darren Criss gives life to Andrew Cunanan, the killer of Gianni Versace. His performance reminded me that Cunanan was a human being and at the same time there is practically no room for sympathy. Cunanan in Criss's eyes is compelling, terrifying and utterly pitiful. The series uses the murder of Gianni Versace to tell us the sordid tale of his killer. The series is structured in a way that forces you to pay attention. I liked it but I seem to be in the minority there. Loved Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace. She's great fun to watch and Edgar Ramirez is a dead ringer for the slain designer. Ricky Martin was a bizarre casting choice but Judith Light a stroke of genius. So, terrific, thank you.
