Ill just say it: This was my least favorite episode of the series so far.
First of all, it looks so cheap.
And the dress that Donatella wears to theVogueanniversary party?
Theoriginal dresswas dainty, chic, and had just a touch of the S&M about it.
Still, everything that isnt shot on location looks straight out of a Lifetime movie.
The real reason why this episode is boring is due to the shows structure of telling the story backward.
Do we need to see them getting busy in the shower?
Not really, even though it sure is fun to watch.
Do we need to know that it was at the La Jolla playhouse?
Actually, yeah, we do need to know that.
The few bright spots in the episode are the surprising details that we didnt know at all.
No wonder it managed to warp Andrew into thinking that was the only way he could get ahead.
But even thats something weve seen plenty of times on this show.
So, yeah, I found this chapter of the Versace story dreadfully boring and a total rehash.
Its just so much of the same.
We already knew that Donatella was always going to be in charge of the business after Gianni was gone.
The one good thing about knowing the ending before the beginning is that it offers instances of dramatic irony.
The ultimate instance of dramatic irony, however, comes at the end.
Norman asks who they are.
He actually faked it until he made it.
