"specializes in helping wealthy women procure the best divorce settlements from their dirtbag one-percenter husbands think a far less high-stakes and much goofier spin on Scandal's Olivia Pope & Associates. Kardashian who has famously long been studying to become a lawyer but has yet to pass the bar plays one of the high-powered partners at the law firm, and woodenly leads a cast of actual actresses that includes Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts and Sarah Paulson, none of whom can overcome the bland script."
"Zoom out a bit, though, and the similarities between the two are less pronounced. There's a winking campiness in much of Murphy's work that doesn't surface within the earnestly bad, Christian-soaked oeuvre of Perry. The former's also demonstrated a discernible talent for balancing high and low art in messy but effective ways, going all the way back to the cheek"
Ryan Murphy and Tyler Perry are compared as prolific creators who frequently produce multiple projects and give older A-list actresses prominent roles. All's Fair centers on an all-female law firm that helps wealthy women secure favorable divorce settlements from one-percenters. Kim Kardashian plays a high-powered partner despite not having passed the bar and delivers a wooden performance. The series features Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts and Sarah Paulson, but the cast cannot overcome a bland script and nonsensical execution. Murphy's work often contains winking camp and a knack for mixing high and low art, contrasting with Perry's earnest, Christian-soaked oeuvre.
