"I looked for Julian Fellowes' name in the credits, but apparently this is all the responsibility of Murphy and his co-creators, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. They are also executive producers, along with Kim K, her mother Kris Jenner, Watts, Glenn Close (who also has a small role as the protagonists' early mentor I cannot imagine what kompromat the Kardashian clan have on her that led to her participation in this dreadful business), Nash and many, many more. The list goes on for ages."
"I suspect a variation of the bystander effect (whereby the more witnesses there are to a mugging for example the less likely any one is to intervene) is in operation.

All's Fair is a Ryan Murphy series starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash as founders of an all-female law firm handling high-end divorces under California skies. The series contains contrived dialogue and awkward lines presented as character moments.

The script and performances register as embarrassing and sometimes contemptuous. A bystander-effect of numerous executive producers is suggested as contributing to deteriorating quality. Sarah Paulson appears as a psychopathic rival lawyer.
