American Crime Story (TV Series 2016– ) – IMDb
The People vs O.J Simpson & The Assassination of Gianni Versace are both outstanding mini-series. Both, are completely two true events so it’s hard to compare, if not at all.
From watching both of the series you can tell how much thought, research and care that the exec producers, director and cast(s) put into both of the mini-series in order to portray the events and every person correctly. The two series are outstanding and so well thought out and it’s incredible to watch, they both feel so natural and realistic when you’re watching them!
I started watching American Crime Story by watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace and I was absolutely hooked from the first episode. Then, I started watching The People vs O.J Simpson and the same thing happened. Both of the casts from American Crime Story are outstanding and their portrayals are fantastic, I can see why American Crime Story has been nominated and has won many awards for the two mini-series.
What I love the most about American Crime Story is that they don’t just focus on the one side (e.g., People vs O.J Simpson and focusing that he’s guilty (again, just an example!)) but they focus on both sides equally and allows you to see it on both sides for a further understanding of the two events which in my opinion a lot of people who have tried to make a series like American Crime Story have really flopped on.
American Crime Story is the only murder/crime/thriller genre-based series that has me absolutely hooked and itching for the next episode/season!
Ryan Murphy, you are an absolute genius! Roll on Season 3!
