Darren Criss, of Glee fame, plays Andrew Cunanan. But don’t let the lightness of his previous work fool you — this is one of the greatest TV performances of the decade.
He plays Cunanan like an Instagay of the ‘90s: opportunistic, narcissistic, and a pathological liar. Every brazenly false declaration is played with just the right amount of overconfident flourish. His charisma is toxic, but it’s hypnotizing. It’s the kind of bravura performance you know will be showered with every award under the sun. Luckily, he’ll deserve them all.
