      I keep thinking about #ACSVersace. And how odd it was that the clearly psychopathic Cunanan of the early eps had turned into a sentimentalised victim by the end. As if the writer just changed his mind.

      The Cunanan who had to check other people’s faces to fake a shocked reaction and shouted ‘Accept it!’ o that John was just not the tragic abuse victim of the last two eps.

      The first series of #ACS was, in comparison, more nuanced and didn’t feel didactic in the same way.

      I think that was a consequence of them telling the story in reverse, starting with the assassination and then kind of zigzagging backwards to try and find out how someone becomes that person. You do that with just about any mass murderer, and you end up sympathising.

      And I think they used his life, and the lives of his victims, to look at where gay men were, in terms of openness etc., in the mid-1990s, much as the OJ series took on race and civil rights. But you're absolutely right - the OJ one was more nuanced.

      Yes and all of that was great and worked really well. But Cunanan seeing his ‘unspoilt’ child self ... you have to hope no budding Incel saw that!

          That's a good point. I think I followed the "this is how monsters are made" argument up until the last episode, but that was a bit much.
