All's Fair

All's Fair is glossy, shallow and absurdly pleased with itself. I never thought displays of wealth could be this cringeworthy.

To call it a show about lawyers is misleading; to call it feminist is laughable; the supposed sisterhood feels more like marketing than conviction.

Kim Kardashian is as beautiful as her acting is dreadful.

Kimmy is not an actress. Period. All's Fair? More like All's possible when you are uber wealthy, which is not in fact fair. I don't get how a cast like this was assembled knowing that the show could never be taken seriously with Kimmy at the helm. One must assume that hopes, and paychecks, were very high. Kim, if you want to take this seriously, take the needed time and effort to improve and strengthen your acting chops. You pulled down something that could have actually been decent. What a shame.

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.

I'm a big fan of both Ryan Murphy and most of the starring actresses of this show, so I was very much looking forward to it.

It must have been about fifteen minutes into the pilot episode when I started asking myself what this really was, and why it was so bad. I'm actually very surprised by it, having seen most of Murphy's work with great admiration. This was just dissapointing. The storylines and dialogues are sometimes painful to watch, three stars mainly go to Watts, Paulson and Close.

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.
