A new series, “All’s Fair,” has ignited a firestorm of reaction, but not the kind its creators anticipated. Starring Kim Kardashian alongside a celebrated cast including Glenn Close and Naomi Watts, the show follows a team of female divorce attorneys forging their own path in Los Angeles.
Despite quickly climbing to the top of Disney Plus’s charts, the series has been met with scathing reviews, labeled by some as “one of the worst TV dramas ever.” Critics haven’t held back, with one describing it as “fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.”
Kim Kardashian herself responded to the criticism, directly addressing her 354 million followers and questioning if they’d tuned into what she called “the most critically acclaimed show of the year.” She then shared a wave of fan posts, some playfully suggesting the negative reviews were actually *driving* viewership.
The backlash extends beyond professional critics. Viewers have taken to social media to express their disappointment, calling the writing “basic” and the overall substance lacking. One user bluntly stated it was “the worst television I’ve watched all year.”
Yet, amidst the widespread condemnation, a surprising counter-narrative is emerging. Some viewers are embracing the show’s over-the-top nature, describing it as “gloriously silly” and a captivating blend of reality television and legal drama. They see a campy, entertaining series with iconic performances.
The show’s premise centers on these powerful women navigating the complex world of high-profile divorces, battling for their clients and each other. It promises scandalous secrets and shifting alliances, both inside and outside the courtroom.
Inspired by the real-life experiences of celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser – who previously represented Kardashian through her own divorces – “All’s Fair” is executive produced by Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner. It aims to explore themes of power, money, and the battles fought in the name of love.
Whether a “monstrosity” or a “fantastic dramedy,” “All’s Fair” has undeniably sparked a conversation. The series is currently available for viewing and continues to divide audiences, proving that even the most negative attention can be a powerful force.
