A Critical Consensus: Ryan Murphy's 'All's Fair' Faces a Unanimous Verdict
In a rare display of unanimity, critics have come together to deliver a scathing verdict on Ryan Murphy's latest creation, the legal drama 'All's Fair.' With an all-star cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Glenn Close, one would expect a captivating watch. However, the consensus is clear: this show is anything but.
'All's Fair' follows the story of three lawyers, played by Kardashian, Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts, as they embark on a mission to empower women in need of a fierce divorce lawyer. But here's where it gets controversial: the critics argue that the show falls flat, lacking substance and leaving viewers uninspired.
Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter describes it as "empty" and "unforgivably dull." She highlights the show's focus on fashion and one-liners, stating, "the series fails to deliver memorable moments and quotes." Han's review questions the show's ability to engage viewers beyond the surface-level appeal.
Lucy Mangan from The Guardian takes it a step further, labeling it a "Ryan Murphy disaster." Mangan's review is a scathing critique, stating, "I didn't think it was possible to make television this bad." She describes the show as "existentially terrible," a bold statement that leaves little room for interpretation.
And this is the part most people miss: the show's creators, Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, along with executive producers Kardashian and Kris Jenner, aimed for a feminist fable. But Ben Dowell from The Times argues that 'All's Fair' is a "tacky monument to greed and vanity." He goes as far as to say it's the "worst TV drama ever," giving it a zero-star rating.
To top it off, Ed Power of The Telegraph doesn't hold back, branding the show a "crime against television." This unanimous criticism is a rare occurrence, leaving viewers wondering if there's any merit to the show at all.
So, what do you think? Is 'All's Fair' truly a disaster, or is there something more to uncover? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. We'd love to hear your take on this controversial series!
