"By now it's likely you've seen clips from All's Fair, Ryan Murphy's new Hulu legal drama ("drama") about rich, sexy female lawyers who only represent hot, rich women in high-profile divorces. The performances from the main cast - Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Glenn Close - are deranged, the dialogue is ham-fisted, and the whole designer-filled spectacle seems made for TikTok, not television."
"But there's one woman on the show who makes the surreal real, and that's Sarah Paulson. The longtime Murphy collaborator is both chewing the scenery and on the verge of breaking in every single scene she's in, but in the first three episodes, out now, she takes a backseat to all the drama surrounding the few men in the show. In the words of another female lawyer, Elle Woods: I object!"
"Carrington "Carr" Lane (Paulson) careers into the series as a once-meek female attorney at a big and boorish law firm, working alongside attorneys Allura Grant (Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Watts). After Allura and Liberty get the blessing of the one female partner, Dina Standish (Close), to bail and create their own woman-only oasis, they're forced to choose one person to come with them, and they pick seasoned investigator Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts)."
All's Fair is a Hulu legal drama about rich female attorneys who represent wealthy clients in high-profile divorces. The main cast includes Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson. The series features deranged performances, ham-fisted dialogue, and designer-filled spectacle geared toward TikTok aesthetics. Sarah Paulson's character, Carrington 'Carr' Lane, is a once-meek attorney who becomes twitchy and unhinged, breaking antiques and screaming obscenities. Despite limited early-screen time, Paulson steals scenes and conveys emotional fragility. Other characters include Allura Grant and Liberty Ronson, who leave their firm to form a woman-only practice.
