Critics are calling Ryan Murphy's new series, 'All's Fair,' an 'existentially terrible' disaster, slamming its abysmal script, wooden performances from stars like Kim Kardashian and Naomi Watts, and dated concept of female empowerment.
This article delivers a scathing review of Ryan Murphy's new series 'All's Fair,' starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash as the founders of an all-female law firm. The reviewer expresses profound shock and disbelief at the show's abysmal quality, labeling it 'fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.' The critique highlights incredibly cringeworthy dialogue, providing direct quotes to illustrate its poorness. Performances are also heavily criticized, with Kim Kardashian described as 'expressionless,' Naomi Watts as 'preening and pouting' in search of a character, and Niecy Nash's role as a dated 'Loud! And Sassy!' stereotype. Even Sarah Paulson's character is noted for screaming ridiculous lines. The article suggests that an overwhelming number of executive producers, including Kim K and Kris Jenner, may have contributed to a 'bystander effect' on quality control. Plots are dismissed as dismal and unrealistically resolved, and the show's concept of female empowerment is deemed so outdated it 'would have shamed the Spice Girls 30 years ago.' The reviewer also questions the involvement of Glenn Close in such a 'dreadful business,' and points out a jarring obsession with brand names. Ultimately, the article strongly advises against watching 'All's Fair,' concluding that it's 'so bad it's not good. Nowhere near.'
