Style has actually always been a major point in both “American Crime Story” as well as “American Horror Story”, and the two shows have a very peculiar, unique way of going about their characters and plot developments. This has been a major point of attraction for many of their fans, and we expect that the producers will keep up this trend in an even more spectacular way.
It’s not just about the tone of writing – the overall camera work, visuals and presentation all come together in a way that allows a viewer to instantly recognize the shows from a glance (as long as they’re familiar with them, of course).
But of course, as important as it is to have style, it’s just as important to have substance, and while the first season of the show did that very well, hopefully the producers aren’t going to let their guard down now.
Katrina has been largely forgotten by the media and many people today, pushed aside by more recent major disasters. “American Crime Story” has a great chance to take a second look at the whole mess and present it in a new light, from an angle that nobody has seen before. Entertainment is only part of the value of this show – it has the potential to open up people’s eyes to some dramatic revelations about the world around them, and the showrunners realize this very well.
