American Crime Story

American Crime Story is such an amazing show. The acting and writing are some of the best that's been on TV in years! The storytelling is so good that it just sucks you in and won't let go till the end! If you really want to know how good this show is all you have to do is read through the reviews! It's one of the best shows based off of true stories that I've ever seen! It's an anthology series where each season tells some of the most incredible true stories that have taken place. Season 1: The People vs. O. J. Simpson, Season 2: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Season 3: Impeachment (the Bill Clinton/Monika Lewinsky scandal) and the upcoming Season 4 which will be based off Studio 54. Obviously some seasons are better than others but they're all really good, the best seasons are pretty much in order 1, 2 and then 3.

This series is riveting, well directed, fast-paced and informative. The casting is marvelous with one little exception: OJ Simpson!! Cuba Gooding is a fantastic actor, but he completely fails to portray OJ Simpsons incredible charm and charisma that actually enabled him to sliver through years of abusive behavior and the cold-blooded double murder. Gooding is reactive and unsophisticated, while the cocksure Simpson is just missing. This is an incredible failure of casting where the remaining characters are spot on and compelling. Why not Dwayne Johnson or someone with the physical charisma and cool? Travolta deserves great kudos for taking this on, but one has to wonder why he allowed the utter miscasting of the major role. At any rate, this is a worthwhile series to watch and it surely is award-rich.

Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan just Amazing!!! The writing excellent!! The whole cast just mesmerizing! This series continues to surprise me!

American Crime Story is absolutely one of the best anthology series that's ever been made. I was not expecting the series to be so gripping and entertaining, every season and every story told has been fantastic so far. Everyone will have their favorite but there's no denying that they're all good. Personally I've liked them in order from season one being the best and so on. Each season has been nominated for numerous awards, everything from the acting to the writing has been nominated and all have been very deserving. Ryan Murphy has created so many successful shows over the years but American Crime Story still remains his best. I'm looking forward to all the future seasons still to come. If they're anywhere close to as good as these first few have been then they'll definitely be worth the time.

My only complaint about Season 2 is that there is to much conjecture about Cunanan's relationship with his some of his victims. We see an entire episode about him traveling with David, conversations they have, David's reluctance to escape...no one but Andrew and David knows what really happened in the apartment or the days following, or what conversations took place. Maybe Cunanan had a gun on him the entire time. Same with Miglin and the discussions about his Space Needle, or Miglin willingly allowing Cunanan to tape him up. Things may have in fact been very different.
