All's Fair favors glossy, social-media aesthetics and rapid-feed visuals over coherent narrative, replicating Instagram's mirror world in episode-length form.
The Conjuringfranchise offered the perfect marriage between the hottest horror trend (the "based on a true story" claim) and the hottest Hollywood trend (the massive cinematic universe).
