By now, you’ve probably seen all the absolutely terrible reviews of Ryan Murphy’s new Hulu series, “All’s Fair.” Critics have panned the series as a “clumsy, condescending boss fantasy,” “empty and unforgivably boring,” and “fascinating and existentially terrible.” It received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
But you should ignore these headlines and watch the show anyway. “All’s Fair” is must-see television.
The legal drama has a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.
Here’s the general gist of the show: Allura Grant (Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Watts) leave a boring, male-dominated law firm to start their own firm, “Women Representing Women, Only,” as Liberty calls it. They get the blessing to leave the company from Dina Standish (Glenn Close), who allows them to take one person with them, and that ends up being Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts). That angers Carrington “Carr” Lane (Sarah Paulson), another lawyer at the firm, who has a dramatic accident for not getting Dina’s approval to leave first. Ten years later, Carr is still angry and vows to rain hell on the ladies any chance she gets.
In the first three episodes of the series (subsequent episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays on the streamer), Allura, Liberty and Emerald tackle new divorce cases. There are tons of amazing special guests in each episode, including Judith Light, Jessica Simpson, and Elizabeth Berkley, who serve as her clients. Meanwhile, there’s drama in Allura’s personal life: Chase (Matthew Noszka), her football player husband of five years, wants a divorce and has been cheating on her multiple times.
I can see why critics criticize the show. There are moments when “All’s Fair” channels a bit of the popular Netflix reality series “Selling Sunset,” where a team of ambitious real estate agents show off multimillion-dollar homes in shiny and often skimpy outfits. (This Allura outfit from “All’s Fair” is especially unforgivable.) The writing is often absurd and cutting in a way that seems straight out of a battle royale in “The Real Housewives” franchise.
And yes, Kardashian’s performance leaves a lot to be desired. She recites lines as if she has no idea how to represent any emotion. She doesn’t even know how to be mad that her husband cheated on her and seems pretty stoic after realizing he’s been sleeping with his assistant Milan (Teyana Taylor) and bought her a house. She fantasizes about smashing Milan’s car windows in a yellow dress a la Beyoncé in “Hold Up,” but alas, that anger is reserved for a dream.

Other than that, the show is quite entertaining, especially if you are a person who likes to zone out when watching TV. That same criticism about the show playing out like a reality TV show is what really makes it fun to watch.
Paulson and Close have some incredible scenes where they look like they’re about to gouge each other’s eyes out, and this soapy, unhinged writing really takes off when these actors just let each other have it. At the very least, you should watch to see them fight each other.
“Carr, have you ever thought how much happier we would all be if your mother swallowed?” Close’s character Dina asks Paulson’s Carr in episode 2.
I’m still getting over the fact that Close said “I can smell your diaper pussy” in the terrible 2024 horror movie “The Deliverance.” His new quote “Everything’s fair” should also make it his hall of fame for one-liners.
Paulson also has some “wow, she just said that” lines: “Little Allura-durable can’t have a baby of her own in that dusty little womb of hers.” Now, I’m not here to shame the uterus, and by God, I would NEVER want to become an enemy of Paulson and whoever wrote this script, but imagine being able to string these words together and deliver them with such deadly venom.
“Having me as an enemy is very reckless,” Carr says in the first episode.
I won’t test you, Mrs. Paulson.
Nash-Betts is her usual charming self on the series, and so far has the least embarrassing moments as Emerald, the company’s shrewd and fearless investigator.
The series is also cinematically beautiful and features a great soundtrack: Janet Jackson’s “Someone To Call Me Lover” plays in episode 1, and there’s a seamless transition from Dionne Warwick’s “Walk on By” to Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” in episode 2.
The “Everything is Fair” team has clearly read the online reviews.
Near responded in the perfect way on Instagram this week with a drawing of the cast and a small image of a rabbit cooking in a pot that says “critical bunny stew,” in homage to their epic but diabolical scene in “Fatal Attraction.”
Let these critics be mad at your performance, Glenn.
“Have you tuned into the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?” Kardashian slyly posted on Instagram, with some reactions on social media from people obsessed with the show.
There are several people who have been raving about the series online, citing Paulson’s menacing performance and how the negative reviews simply encouraged them to watch it anyway.
#AllsFair is a nice show. Light and fun. There is no need for everything to be so serious on Chilean television. And I love Sarah Paulson in this!

#AllsFair IS REALLY SO GOOD! My friend and I just watched the first 3 episodes and we are obsessed with this story. The fashion and glamor are happening, the DRAMA and acting aren’t even as bad as everyone thinks. You all are dramatic as well as real. pic.twitter.com/pmdA7GC5Wp

Anthony Hemingway, who directed episodes 2 and 3 of the series, had this to say about the negative reviews: “It may not be for you, and that’s okay, but I personally enjoy the show. I had a lot of fun relating to it in my own way. Not everything is for everyone,” Hemingway told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Everything is so dark and heavy and decisive, and here you have this show that can connect to real conversations, but with a different palette,” he continued. “It’s a way to connect with the human condition and certain aspects of humanity. I think ultimately it works. I do. I do. Hopefully opinions will change. But if they don’t, then they don’t. What we’re all doing excites us and we stick with it.”
Hemingway is right.
It’s so dark, literally too dark, turn on the stage lights! — Television series that deserve and require a lot of attention; They are the kind of shows that stay with us even when they are no longer on the air. Those series have their place and will get their awards and recognition, and rightly so. But sometimes, all you want is a TV show that has plenty of raunchy drama to keep you hooked and that can take your mind off the seemingly endless problems of the real world.
Is “All’s Fair” a “good” television show? Maybe not.
But will I keep watching to see what chaos lies ahead?
Absolutely.
The first three episodes of “All’s Fair” are streaming on Hulu. New episodes air weekly on Tuesdays.
