All Forms of Art

I hadn’t watched the first season of American Crime Story . Never felt very interested in the show, and the only reason I watched this most recent season was that it was about Versace .   I was very intrigued by the show because I remember the case, which was thoroughly covered by the media at the time. So I decided I’d give the show a try. Who's the True Protagonist? I didn’t know a lot about Versace’s life. Almost nothing, really, so I can’t truly criticize the choices by the production when it came to the story. However, I have a problem with the title.  It may have been better not to call it “the assassination of Versace”, but rather “Versace’s killer” as the protagonist is not the designer but rather his killer, and this wasn’t exactly what most people seemed to expect going in. This was also the case for me, and I must admit I got a bit disappointed. Slow Pace The show is good enough to make you curious and keep you watching it, but it isn’t all...

This is one of those situations where I’m not sure what to say in a review of this show. The show is… not good. Sure, Renée Zellweger (recently in Only murders in the Building ) helps (a lot), but she isn’t enough to pull the show through its mediocrity. When she isn’t on the screen, we aren’t left with much at all, unfortunately. The Good is also Bad It’s a lot of fun to see her trying to impersonate a femme fatale , with zero ethics or moral principles, but it’s a little too stereotyped for my personal taste. Yet, it’s definitely the best part of the entire show.  That alone speaks volumes. Shallow The story is primarily about secrets, and all the characters are, in some way, emotionally broken. Some of them don’t even make a whole lot of sense, and while watching, you’re commonly asking yourself why they’re even here, to begin with.  It looks like they don’t belong.  They are connected by bonds of blood or friendship, but everything seems a bit too...
