Featured review
Terrifying and heartbreaking
I found this episode to be absolutely gripping and among the most memorable dramas I've ever seen. It's not a spoiler to reveal that this episode is focused on Andrew Cunanan; in fact the entire season is much more about him than Gianni Versace. But don't let that throw you. Without giving anything away, this episode is simply amazing, and nearly unparalleled in it's ability to bring both the criminal and the victims to life.
Far too many crime dramas overly focus on the criminal, or almost glorify the violence they commit. Here, the victims are fleshed out; the violence is brutal, messy, and devastating on many levels. In later episodes we learn more about everything that led up to it. In this episode though, one is face to face with the fear, sadness, horror. and tragedy stemming from a violent crime. Interwoven painfully and powerfully throughout this episode (and the entire season) are the stark realities of being gay in America in the 1990s. Add to that a bravo performance by all the main players--this is one to watch; and one to remember.
