The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story wants to take you backwards through Andrew Cunanan's (Darren Criss) evolution as a serial killer.
While the concept is interesting from a storytelling perspective, it can get kind of confusing for viewers trying to keep up as the series flashes backwards and forwards between the life of Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez) in the days, months and years leading up to his murder and Andrew courting his previous victims.
To help keep things straight, TV Guide has compiled the Assassination of Gianni Versace timeline, which will be updated each week with the new revelations and their dates to help you keep track of how everything happened in order.
