‘All’s Fair’ Review: Kim Kardashian as Lead in Ryan Murphy’s Hulu Drama
Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and Niecy Nash-Betts star in this series about an all-female law firm specializing in divorce cases with female clients.
Kim Kardashian’s Performance
Kim Kardashian might be the perfect choice to headline All’s Fair, Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama on Hulu. However, this does not imply that her acting is strong—her performance is stiff and lacks emotion, revealing no genuine depth. Surrounded by celebrated actresses, Kardashian’s weakness becomes even more evident.
Writing and Production Quality
The writing matches Kardashian’s performance in its stiffness and absence of authentic nuance. The show seems designed less for engaging the audience and more for generating viral moments online.
Supporting Cast and Show’s Focus
The other actresses deliver solid performances but are burdened by material that fails to do justice to their talent. The series constantly emphasizes themes of wealth and success, almost celebrating the accumulation of money.
For their sakes but also for my own ability to believe in a world that occasionally makes sense, I hope that all of them, Kardashian included, collected huge paychecks for whatever they’re doing here.
Author's Summary: Despite a strong supporting cast, the show suffers from wooden performances and shallow writing, making Kim Kardashian’s leading role feel fittingly hollow and uninspired.
