Kim Kardashian's new legal drama series All's Fair has launched to scathing reviews, securing a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes and drawing widespread criticism as one of the worst TV shows ever made. The Ryan Murphy-created show, starring Kardashian alongside Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, and Glenn Close, follows a trio of divorce lawyers starting an all-female firm in Los Angeles. Despite the backlash, it tops streaming charts and garners praise from fans on social media.
Series Overview
All's Fair is a campy legal drama created by Ryan Murphy, with contributions from Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. It premiered with its first three episodes on Hulu on November 4, 2025, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Tuesdays at midnight ET. Internationally, it appears on Disney+. The series centers on Allura Grant (Kim Kardashian), a formidable divorce lawyer, who teams up with Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts) and private investigator Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash) to leave a male-dominated firm and launch their own practice exclusively for female clients in Los Angeles. Supporting roles include Glenn Close as mentor Dina Standish, Sarah Paulson as rival Carrington Lane, Teyana Taylor as assistant Milan, and guest stars like Jessica Simpson, Eddie Cibrian, Elizabeth Berkley, and Judith Light.
Critical Reception
The show has faced brutal reviews, earning a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score based on eight initial critic assessments and an 11% on Metacritic, signaling overwhelming dislike. USA Today's Kelly Lawler dubbed it "the worst TV show of the year," criticizing the scripts as worse than early ChatGPT output and the acting as subpar. The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han called it "brain dead," describing Kardashian's performance as "stiff and affectless without a single authentic note." The Guardian's Lucy Mangan gave it zero stars, stating, "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad," and labeled it "fascinatingly, existentially terrible." The Telegraph's Ed Power awarded one star, slamming it as a "crime against television" and one of Murphy's worst efforts, while noting Kardashian's lack of screen presence. The Times of London's Ben Dowell declared it potentially "the worst TV drama ever," scripted like by a toddler. The Globe and Mail echoed this, calling it the worst new drama of 2025, faulting the wooden acting, clichéd script, and failed camp tone that lacks subversion or fun.
Fan Response and Context
Despite the panning, All's Fair ranks No. 1 on streaming charts. Fans on social media defend it as fun, campy, and women-led, with one tweeting, "all’s fair series is fun, c–ty, women led, high fashion, terrible script, horrible acting and believe it or not kim k is not the worst part of it." Another praised the iconic cast and interesting female stories, urging viewers to overlook critic bias. Kardashian, who produced alongside her mother Kris Jenner, has prior acting credits in American Horror Story: Delicate and Disaster Movie (2008). She recently shared experiencing a stress-related aneurysm during filming, calling it a wake-up call. Page Six and others sought comments from Kardashian and Murphy's teams without immediate response.
