"While watching All's Fair, Hulu's new star-studded legal drama that has drawn some of the worst reviews for any show since the invention of television, an idle thought may enter what's left of your brain, as it did mine: What does Ryan Murphy have on these women? The prolific Hollywood producer somehow managed to enlist (blackmail?) Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and, of course, Kim Kardashian into the cast"
"I use the word "cast" loosely-in most of the episodes, the acting is minimal enough that it's fair to say that all we are really watching is sets of sentient designer clothes holding up Champagne flutes and talking about plastic surgery or vibrators. The series, which premiered on Nov. 4, consists mostly of montages of jewelry-clad women getting in or out of expensive cars"
All's Fair centers on an all-women law firm that handles separations, sex, and scandal while leaning heavily on celebrity casting and glossy visuals. The show features performers including Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and Kim Kardashian. Acting is often minimal, with many episodes emphasizing montages of jewelry, designer clothes, Champagne, cars, and private jets over substantive courtroom or character work. Episodes frequently rely on spectacle, cameo appearances, and superficial dialogue instead of coherent storytelling or meaningful character development.
