All's Fair

I don't know why Ryan Murphy insists on casting Kim Kardashian. I don't understand his philosophy, there were so many top-notch actors on here and no matter what we just will never see her as a serious actress so it just felt like it was ruined. I couldn't take the show as seriously and it had potential but I wouldn't recommend it.

Ryan Murphy is currently well into his downward spiral. The camp that was acceptable in the early seasons of AHS or in Feud only narrowly dodged the bullet in more serious projects such as Nip/Tuck, Monster, or Pose. He simply cannot help but be dazzled by star value and kitsch, from Glee to the pitiful The Prom, passing through rare cases where camp actually works but which have been abandoned (I'm talking about Scream Queens but also Ratched). Overall, he seems like a child who just does whatever he wants and has nothing to lose. Feel like making a carbon copy of The Boys In The Band? Feel like switching to another series (quite literally) halfway through Grotesquerie? Feel like ruining an entire project and the work of so many talented people by writing something on chat gpt and giving the lead role to Kim Kardashian? Well, he can and does. Here's a piece of advice: don't waste your time with this rubbish.

I was looking forward to watching this after the trailer and hearing it might be like a female version of Suits - however the writing and characters lacked depth and substance. The whole show seems to be based around wealthy women wearing great clothes and living in big houses - visually it's great, but it seems most of the focus is on that and not showcasing the characters personalities enough or anything that seems real / that could help the audience relate to them and route for them. I will continue watching as I hope it does get better as I think the premise of the show is great on paper.

I wanted "Suits with women." I got the Kardashians playing dress-up in a legal drama costume. Ep 1 of "All's Fair" is so spectacularly bad I couldn't make it past the pilot... life's too short for this catastrophe.

Kim Kardashian isn't an actress. She's a reality TV personality reading lines like a hostage reading demands. Every scene she's in dies on screen. Watching Naomi Watts and Glenn Close forced to pretend this is real television feels like witnessing a crime against talent.

The script sounds AI-generated. Characters spout catchphrases instead of dialogue: "Business is how I unwind"? "Let's put the team in teamwork"? Murphy's direction mistakes expensive wardrobe changes for actual storytelling. Cases resolve with magical convenience. Nothing feels earned, real, or remotely compelling.

This isn't prestige television... it's an embarrassingly expensive vanity project that wastes a stellar supporting cast. The fact this has a $70 million budget while actual good shows get cancelled is criminal. One episode was more than enough.

2/10 - An absolute train wreck.

Love Naomi watts as an actress, and also niecy Nash is great, but, oh dear.....this is awful...embarrasing cliche writing, badly shot, worst acting from everyone in their career...no plot, just cheese... and sexist horrible nonsense...hope Naomi, niecy, sarah and Glenn rise above ,they deserve to..... it also just gets worse and worse.
