Critics' Unanimous Dislike for Ryan Murphy's 'All's Fair': A Legal Drama with a Missed Mark
In a rare unanimous agreement, critics have slammed Ryan Murphy's latest creation, the legal drama 'All's Fair'. The series, starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, and Teyana Taylor, has been described as 'empty', 'stiff', and 'terrible'.
The Hulu series follows three ambitious female lawyers, Allura Grant (Kardashian), Liberty Ronson (Watts), and Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts), as they navigate the challenges of helping women in need of a tough divorce lawyer. However, the show's reception has been less than favorable.
Angie Han from The Hollywood Reporter calls the show 'empty' and 'unforgivably dull', criticizing its inability to deliver memorable quotes and its reliance on superficial elements. Lucy Mangan from The Guardian goes even further, labeling it a 'Ryan Murphy disaster' and describing it as 'fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible'.
Ben Dowell from The Times is equally scathing, calling it 'the worst TV drama ever' and giving it a zero-star rating. He sarcastically describes the show as a 'tacky and revolting monument to the same greed, vanity, and avarice it supposedly targets'.
Ed Power from The Telegraph sums up the critics' sentiment by branding the show 'a crime against television'. Despite the high-profile cast and the involvement of Murphy, a renowned creator, the series has failed to impress, leaving critics and audiences alike disappointed.
The show's creators, Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, along with executive producers Kardashian and Kris Jenner, may need to re-evaluate their approach to storytelling and character development to create a more compelling and engaging drama.
