The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_1869b4b1	comment	Cunanan is depicted as meeting Versace at a club and pursuing a flirtation and friendship with him until Versace finally turns down his advances. The real Cunanan certainly claimed that he met Versace under similar circumstances and perhaps even afterwards, but he was, to say the least, an Unreliable Narrator who regularly invented stories about his exploits. Cunanan's friends, for the record, considered this a fairly typical case of his stretching the truth and didn't take it seriously.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_18baa751	comment	Historical Villain Downgrade: In real life, Andrew, presumably on purpose, violently threw his mother against the wall and dislocated her shoulder, as the two were arguing about Andrew's recent admission of his homosexuality. In the series, the incident is seemingly portrayed as an accident, and one that occurred over something much more trivial â€“ Andrew getting annoyed by Mary Anne's insistence that she come along with him to Italy while he "works" for Versace, and the incident causes him genuine guilt and remorse, especially after she covers for him at the doctor's. The show also omits a number of other red flags about Andrew's physically abusive behavior towards friends.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_19851b86	type	The Sociopath
The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: Andrew Cunanan, diagnosed as a psychopath in real life, and portrayed in this with creepy realism: he isn't a Hollywood Psychopath, moustache-twirling villain doing a Hannibal Lecter impression. Instead, he's outwardly cheerful and has learned how to con his way through life with glib, shallow charm. It's all a fake act, and the actor does a great job of showing the "flat affect" psychopaths have: he's always got a slight smile and soft purr to his voice, but he just learned it by rote and is doing it almost robotically, while his dead eyes are sizing up other people like an insect. Even when other people start to criticize him, he just doubles down on the "friendly" act - which only makes it sound jarringly more fake (i.e. such as when he's on the run with David after brutally killing Trail, and keep rambling off shallow pleasantries, undaunted.) Moreover, by the time his killing spree starts, Cunanan has moved on to heavier drugs known to result in increased violent behavior i.e. shooting up on crystal meth. Played with in later episodes (which are the chronologically earliest scenes). Andrew's youth sees him as facing genuine heartbreak when a sugar daddy doesn't want a serious relationship, and Andrew rejects the money his boyfriend gives him, in contrast to his eventual days of being an entitled kept man. He's also sincerely disappointed and angered by his father screwing over the family and leaving them nothing, appears to be real friends with Liz and breaks down in tears of genuine remorse when he accidentally injures his mother, setting the idea that Andrew's descent into psychopathy was a gradual process, which real-life friends argued as well. This behavior would also fit with the diagnosis as, contrary to what is often portrayed in pop culture, sociopaths are capable of emotions too and of genuine love for others, even if both are often tied with their own self-involvement and warped view of the world. The apple didn't fall far from the tree: Modesto thinks absolutely nothing of stealing and betraying investor trust. He genuinely feels this is how you succeed in America.

Subverted in the case of Gianni. In sharp contrast to Andrew, Gianni's mother encouraged him when she found out that he wanted to be a dressmaker like her. However, she herself is a straight example; she wanted to be a doctor and her father wouldn't allow it (hence her support for her son's chosen path).

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_483152c4	comment	The Resenter: It is implied that Andrew resents older rich gay men who managed to build successful careers by remaining closeted. He blames his lack of opportunities in life on being gay - but he's really just a shiftless psychopath with a taste for the finer things and no desire to do actual work for them. His hypocrisy is gradually revealed in later episodes when he's openly living with a wealthy older gay man who isn't closeted at all, but still resents his success even as he mooches off him. The same episode has Andrew claim he has a PhD, only for his partner to call this out as bullshit because he discovered that Andrew simply dropped out of college. Andrew doesn't even bother to claim discrimination as an excuse in response, he just childishly protests that "It was boring!" To a lesser degree, Andrew's older siblings dub him "Prince Andrew," as their father makes it abundantly clear Andrew is the only one he cares about.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: The series' most controversial aspects involve his relationships with several victims. Cunanan is depicted as meeting Versace at a club and pursuing a flirtation and friendship with him until Versace finally turns down his advances. The real Cunanan certainly claimed that he met Versace under similar circumstances and perhaps even afterwards, but he was, to say the least, an Unreliable Narrator who regularly invented stories about his exploits. Cunanan's friends, for the record, considered this a fairly typical case of his stretching the truth and didn't take it seriously. Cunanan is implied to have had an off-and-on-relationship with Lee Miglin prior to his murder. Chicago police initially considered this possibility, since Miglin was found surrounded with sex toys and women's clothing, and circumstantial evidence (like Cunanan leaving an unfinished meal in the kitchen) suggested the killer knew him. The FBI, however, found no links between Cunanan and Miglin, with the only witness suggesting a connection deemed not credible. It's certainly possible that Miglin was gay or bisexual regardless, but if so he was much more discreet than his series counterpart, who openly cruises for partners in gay bars.

Even when investigators do take the case seriously, the lack of coordination between different jurisdictions (see Poor Communication Kills for a glaring example) prevents them from sharing information and arresting Cunanan before he kills his next victim.

A variety of things - discovering his father's career as a conman, various romantic disappointments, his inability to find either a stable job or a lover willing to support him, and his increased drug use - combined to drive him over the edge, to the point where Cunanan becomes an outright sociopath.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_63d861f8	comment	Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Zig-zagged and subverted. Andrew seems to believe he truly loves David, but his possessiveness, violent jealousy and inability to express intimacy in a genuine way is troubling. He likes Jeff and considers him his best friend, but uses him when trying to impress David and sends a potentially damaging postcard to Jeff's parents (who are unaware of his sexuality) to get back at a perceived slight. Liz seems to be one of his only real friends, but he uses her for her wealth and resources (and seems attracted to her husband). He seems to care about his mother and feels guilty about hurting her and her getting dragged into his crimes, but her mothering annoys him and he has no qualms about throwing a tantrum when she doesn't do what he wants. At times it seems like Andrew does desire love, but has no way of properly showing it — or, in the case of an old "unimpressive" boyfriend, settling for less than excessive privileges.

She believes he's being naively optimistic, pointing out that he's rich and lives in a mansion, isolated from the heavy discrimination gay people still face at the time. After one of his patrons is murdered by a man he picked up in a gay bar, Andrew mocks the "gay panic" defense that the killer will inevitably claim and the police will accept.note However, the real-life killer did indeed go to prison for 15 years to life for the murder. When Andrew cries about his father ruining the family, Modesto tells him to be a man and deal with adversity for once in his life.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: Oh so many. Gianni Versace, when he turns around to see some random guy is about to blow his head off. Modesto, gets three in very short order: First, when the Brokerage Firm directors confront him about his embezzlement. Second, when he sees the FBI raiding the office for him. Third, when he flees home to get money and a bug out bag, and the feds show up there, too. Mary Anne and Andrew when they learn they have lost absolutely everything. The money, the savings, the house, everything. Andrew can't even process it. William Reese, when Andrew tells him to kneel down... David, when he knows Andrew is about to kill him. Finally, Andrew learns that his shooting of Gianni Versace has finally earned him the FBI's attention. He is completely unprepared for the sudden onslaught of scrutiny.

It's also heavily implied that Modesto molested Andrew at one point, which was not confirmed in real life (though he was rumored to have been molested by a priest). The first onscreen appearance of Andrew's mother tells you everything you need to know about them. She keeps cheering and babying him, and tells him she's been telling flamboyant lies about him to other people to make them jealous (though they are later revealed to be lies Andrew told her first). Yet when he tries to reach to her for emotional support, she pulls out to focus on the lies. In other words, she doesn't care about her son now as much as about the fake tale of success that he has created around himself. And he knows it.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_edd102ba	comment	Soul-Sucking Retail Job: Subverted; Andrew's job at the drugstore might have been one of his healthier decisions, with a workload that he could handle and a boss who actually tried to look out for Andrew. Sadly, his ego wouldn't allow him to settle for working in retail, and he decided to become a male escort instead.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_f6b2bfb7	comment	Gold Digger: Despite the fact that Antonio has been with Versace with fifteen years and sincerely loves him, Donatella still harbors some suspicion that he's just a taker and is only with Versace for what he can provide. Played straight with David who enters into a relationship with Norman for the latter's money.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Subverted. Though Andrew has moments that appear to be selfless displays of friendship, such as buying expensive dinners or hooking friends up with new lovers, he inevitably uses these gestures as ammunition for manipulation in later arguments.
