The Assassination Of Giovani Versace.

Fact based drama of how famed gay fashion designer, Giovani Versace, had been murdered after a killing spree by serial killer, Andrew Kunanan. Explored is the killer's psyche as a narcissistic sociopath who can not come to terms with his own homosexuality, even though he's a gay prostitute, and is consumed with envy for Versace, who he worships from afar. This is all before the backdrop of the homophobia that was much more prevalent not many decades ago (such as how Kunanan was not top priority for the FBI, as his victims were mostly other gay men).

The Alienist.

German born alienist (psychologist), Lazlo Kreisler, in late 19th century New York attempts to solve the gruesome murders of child prostitutes, using methods ahead of their time, and relying on a circle of volunteers who are in one way or another outcasts in society. Very creepy, dark serial killer show, set against the backdrop of the extreme wealth and contrasting poverty of the big city, with real life characters as Teddy Roosevelt playing minor roles.

I've got to check that out since I read the book a couple of years ago.

Let me know how you like it.
