The glam legal drama starring Kim Kardashian debuts to brutal reviews — critics call it “the worst TV drama ever,” while fans weigh in with brutal verdicts of their own.

Critics Go In Hard

November 4, 2025: The new legal drama All’s Fair, starring Kim Kardashian and created by Ryan Murphy, opened on Hulu on November 4 and immediately drew scathing criticism. UK outlets, including The Guardian, awarded it a devastating “0 out of 5 stars,” calling it “so bad it’s not good” and describing the show as “existentially terrible.” The review lambasted the writing, performances, and pacing — and singled out Kardashian’s acting as “stiff and affectless.”

Meanwhile, The Telegraph described the series as “a crime against television,” mocking its dialogue, characters, and overall tone. The consensus: the hype didn’t land, and expectations were dashed.

Fan Reactions: Brutal, But Entertaining

Across social media, viewers echoed the critics — though some admitted they might watch purely for the spectacle. On platforms such as X and Reddit, users went from disbelief to mockery:

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen something get 0 out of 5 stars before.”
“The only thing growing is the liberties taken with female lawyers’ dress codes in the workplace.”
“Wow. This review had me laughing. A show created by Kim to cosplay what she thinks lawyers do.”

Some fans even suggested they’d tuned in for the fashion — because the actual drama failed to deliver. As one wrote: “The script? Terrible. The writing feels like a low-budget advert.” Others celebrated the train-wreck-value: “So bad it’s f—ing amazing.”

What Went Wrong?

Hollywood heavyweights and high production values weren’t enough to save All’s Fair. Critics faulted:

Tone issues: The show couldn’t decide if it was campy, serious, or knowingly absurd — so it landed somewhere uncomfortable in between.

Dialogue and plotting: Scenes moved at breakneck speed, resolving major cases in the time it took to coat nails, and featured sprawling, often nonsensical arcs.

Star casting vs execution: While the cast lists icons like Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and Naomi Watts, the reality show-to-script transition for Kardashian drew skepticism — especially as reviewers said she lacked emotional nuance.

One critic summed it up: the show seemed less about making good television and more about creating buzz.

What’s Next for the Series?

Despite the uproar, All’s Fair isn’t doomed yet. With the first episodes live and new ones releasing weekly, the series has a real chance to either rebound or become a cult phenomenon — possibly for all the wrong reasons. Whether audiences stick around for the narrative or simply ironize the spectacle remains to be seen.

For Kim Kardashian, this marks another bold foray into acting. Whether it’ll reshape her onscreen trajectory — or be the lesson in “maybe don’t” — is one of the first real test cases of her dramatic ambitions.
