The earliest reviews are out for Ryan Murphy’s just premiered new legal drama series “All’s Fair”, and it’s making TV history – as potentially the worst reviewed major new drama of all time.
The Hulu series is pulling in 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and just 11/100 on Metacritic and those reviews are not holding back in their scathing skewering of the series about an all-female divorce specialising law firm with Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor starring.
There’s no gender divide either with many of the reviews written by women, such as The Guardian who says “I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad… [it’s] fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.”
The Times says it “may well be the worst television drama ever made” and singles out one of its stars “She [Kim Kardashian] is to acting what Genghis Khan is to a peaceful liberal democracy.”
Variety calls it a “clumsy, condescending take on rah-rah girlboss feminism, half-baked even by the standards of an overextended Murphy,” while THR says it’s “a show that seems to want not to be watched so much as mined for viral bits and pieces”.
Pajiba says “It’s all just painfully hard to watch. It’s beneath everyone involved, even Kardashian, who mostly seems bored”.
The Telegraph adds that “Ryan Murphy is the high priest of tacky, tasteless television, and this year he has outdone himself with a show of mind-bending horror sure to trigger nightmares in the unsuspecting viewer.”
The first three episodes are now up on Hulu with the remainder unfolding through to the double-episode finale on December 9th.
