‘All’s Fair’ Review: Kim Kardashian Is an Appropriately Wooden Lead for Ryan Murphy’s Empty, Unforgivably Dull Hulu Drama

‘All’s Fair’ Review: Kim Kardashian in Ryan Murphy’s Hulu Drama

Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and Niecy Nash-Betts appear in the series about an all-female divorce law firm representing female clients. Kim Kardashian stars as the lead, a choice that fits the show’s tone but not its quality.

Kardashian's performance is notably stiff and without genuine emotion. Rather than elevating the material, her presence highlights the script’s lack of depth. The surrounding cast of acclaimed actresses underscores her acting limits, making the show's weaknesses clearer.

“Her very presence, which succeeds at generating buzz and not much else, feels fitting for a show that seems to want not to be watched so much as mined for viral bits and pieces.”

The supporting actresses attempt to bring life to a script that does not deserve their talent. The series continuously emphasizes the glamorous lifestyle and wealth of its characters, which detracts from meaningful storytelling.

“It’s the other actresses, trying to sell material unworthy of their efforts, whom you feel sorry for — or whom you would feel sorry for, if the show weren’t also reminding you every five minutes how awesome it is to have lots of money and then make even more money.”

For their sake and to believe in a coherent story world, one hopes all cast members, Kardashian included, received significant compensation for their roles.

Summary

This Hulu drama relies more on star power and viral moments than compelling acting or storytelling, with Kim Kardashian’s wooden lead performance perfectly matching the show’s overall emptiness.
