Critics Eviscerate Kim Kardashian’s New Series ‘All’s Fair’ in Brutal Reviews
Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama All’s Fair has not made the splash she hoped for, at least not in a good way. The show, created by Ryan Murphy and featuring a star-studded cast including Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, and Teyana Taylor, premiered on Hulu and Disney+ on November 4. But instead of praise, critics have torn it apart, calling it one of the worst shows in recent memory.
All’s Fair follows a group of female divorce lawyers who start their own firm in Los Angeles. The show tries to tell a story about powerful women dealing with love, money, and betrayal in the world of high-end divorces. The official synopsis describes the characters as “fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated,” but reviewers say the final result is far from that.

In a scathing review for The Times (UK), deputy TV editor Ben Dowell didn’t hold back. “Well done, Kim. You must have quite a healthy ego yourself to star in what may well be the worst television drama ever made,” he wrote. Dowell went on to say the show “thinks it’s a feminist fable about spirited lawyers getting their own back on cruel rich men but is in fact a tacky and revolting monument to the same greed, vanity and avarice it supposedly targets.” He gave it a zero out of five.
The criticism didn’t stop there. The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan also gave the series zero stars, calling it “fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.” She added, “I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong.”
Most reviewers agreed that the acting, especially Kardashian’s performance as Allura Grant, was stiff and unconvincing. The Daily Telegraph’s Ed Power wrote, “Ryan Murphy is the high priest of tacky, tasteless television, and this year he has outdone himself with a show of mind-bending horror sure to trigger nightmares in the unsuspecting viewer.”
While the series boasts an impressive lineup of stars, including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close, that hasn’t helped its reputation so far. With critics calling it everything from “tacky” to “a disaster zone,” All’s Fair may have become one of the most talked-about TV flops of the year.
