All’s Fair on Disney+: Kim Kardashian’s Misjudged Legal Drama
Ryan Murphy, known for his flamboyant television projects, has delivered perhaps one of the weakest outings on Disney+. His new series, All’s Fair, starring Kim Kardashian, is being described as an extraordinary misfire — a glossy but creatively hollow legal drama.
Kardashian, who first rose to fame redefining the concept of celebrity influence, has a long history of taking unexpected paths. In 2014, she and then-husband Kanye West famously traveled straight from their wedding in Florence to Ireland for a low-key honeymoon.
They reportedly stayed in Castlemartyr and were even seen at a 3pm screening of X-Men: Days of Future Past in Portlaoise’s Storm Cinema — a curious detour for one of the world’s most watched couples.
Now divorced, Kardashian remains steadfast in doing things her own way, seemingly unconcerned about public perception. In All’s Fair, she continues that pattern, taking on a role completely outside her comfort zone — but the result, critics argue, is disastrous.
Despite its issues, the show has assembled an impressive cast. Naomi Watts appears bewildered, recalling her days acting opposite a giant digital ape in King Kong. Glenn Close, too, seems lost amid the messy script and erratic tone, both left to navigate a world that never quite makes sense.
Star Power, No Substance
Even the allure of its high-profile performers cannot mask the hollow core of Murphy’s creation. All’s Fair struggles to find purpose, much like its heroine — bold, famous, and ultimately adrift in a spectacle of bad taste.
Author’s Resume: A lavish cast and bold concept can’t rescue All’s Fair from becoming Disney+’s most painfully misguided drama of the year.
