49 Thoughts I Had While Watching Episode 1 of ‘All’s Fair’
This new legal drama feels like Ryan Murphy blended a group of iconic actresses into one vivid spectacle. Murphy’s signature style — theatrical, indulgent, and emotional — draws me in. I’ve admired his extravagant storytelling before (I watched all of Scream Queens), so I expected All’s Fair to hit the same entertaining notes.
The All-Star Ensemble
The cast lineup alone promises drama and flair: Glenn Close, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Kim Kardashian. The sheer star power practically guarantees that the show won’t be subtle. The question is whether it lands as irresistible escapism or crosses into chaos.
Expectations and Tone
“Does the series fall into the ‘guilty-as-hell pleasure’ category?”
That’s the question running through my mind as I watch. The glossy production, explosive dialogue, and emotional extremes feel like peak Murphy — perhaps indulgent, but undeniably watchable.
Final Thought
This first episode confirms that All’s Fair is less about realism and more about rhythm, attitude, and spectacle. It’s the kind of show best enjoyed for the sheer thrill of intense performances and stylish excess.
Author’s Summary: Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair delivers theatrical chaos, star power, and addictive glamour — an operatic escape for those who love beautiful drama done big.
