The People vs O.J Simpson & The Assassination of Gianni Versace are both outstanding mini-series. Both, are completely two true events so it's hard to compare, if not at all.
From watching both of the series you can tell how much thought, research and care that the exec producers, director and cast(s) put into both of the mini-series in order to portray the events and every person correctly. The two series are outstanding and so well thought out and it's incredible to watch, they both feel so natural and realistic when you're watching them!
I started watching American Crime Story by watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace and I was absolutely hooked from the first episode. Then, I started watching The People vs O.J Simpson and the same thing happened. Both of the casts from American Crime Story are outstanding and their portrayals are fantastic, I can see why American Crime Story has been nominated and has won many awards for the two mini-series.
What I love the most about American Crime Story is that they don't just focus on the one side (e.g., People vs O.J Simpson and focusing that he's guilty (again, just an example!)) but they focus on both sides equally and allows you to see it on both sides for a further understanding of the two events which in my opinion a lot of people who have tried to make a series like American Crime Story have really flopped on.
American Crime Story is the only murder/crime/thriller genre-based series that has me absolutely hooked and itching for the next episode/season!
Ryan Murphy, you are an absolute genius! Roll on Season 3!

I barely knew about the OJ Simpson scenario so everything about that is glorious while being outrageous! I'd like to see the second season for now I am the middle of season 1, it's quite enjoyable and intriguing. Ryan Murphy the creator/writer is a mastermind for many projects, I would definitely recommend this show.
My only complaint about Season 2 is that there is to much conjecture about Cunanan's relationship with his some of his victims. We see an entire episode about him traveling with David, conversations they have, David's reluctance to escape...no one but Andrew and David knows what really happened in the apartment or the days following, or what conversations took place. Maybe Cunanan had a gun on him the entire time. Same with Miglin and the discussions about his Space Needle, or Miglin willingly allowing Cunanan to tape him up. Things may have in fact been very different.
American Crime Story is such an amazing show. The acting and writing are some of the best that's been on TV in years! The storytelling is so good that it just sucks you in and won't let go till the end! If you really want to know how good this show is all you have to do is read through the reviews! It's one of the best shows based off of true stories that I've ever seen! It's an anthology series where each season tells some of the most incredible true stories that have taken place. Season 1: The People vs. O. J. Simpson, Season 2: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Season 3: Impeachment (the Bill Clinton/Monika Lewinsky scandal) and the upcoming Season 4 which will be based off Studio 54. Obviously some seasons are better than others but they're all really good, the best seasons are pretty much in order 1, 2 and then 3.
American Crime Story is absolutely one of the best anthology series that's ever been made. I was not expecting the series to be so gripping and entertaining, every season and every story told has been fantastic so far. Everyone will have their favorite but there's no denying that they're all good. Personally I've liked them in order from season one being the best and so on. Each season has been nominated for numerous awards, everything from the acting to the writing has been nominated and all have been very deserving. Ryan Murphy has created so many successful shows over the years but American Crime Story still remains his best. I'm looking forward to all the future seasons still to come. If they're anywhere close to as good as these first few have been then they'll definitely be worth the time.
