All’s Fair fans think TV critics need to lighten up after they bombarded the Kim Kardashian-led legal drama with scathing reviews.
The Ryan Murphy-produced series premiered Tuesday, Nov. 4, to dismal reviews.
The Hulu drama initially had a zero percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, but one critic posted a decent review on Wednesday and the show’s score climbed to 6% out of 100% — which is still pretty bad.

Critics called the campy drama “one of the worst shows of the year,” with some declaring it “unwatchable.”
Reviewer Jeanine T. Abraham of the VisAbleBlackwoman platform even dragged Tyler Perry into the drama.
“All’s Fair makes every single Tyler Perry project look like Shakespeare,” Abraham wrote.
Kayleigh Donaldson of The Wrap slammed Kardashian, saying her “unmoving” face is not suitable for acting. Donaldson wasn’t done and questioned why the reality star-turned-actress was even on the show.
“This is pure stunt casting, and you can’t get mad at a notorious hustler of attention for taking the opportunity,” Donaldson wrote.
The one critic who gave the show a positive review was Joel Keller of Decider, who said it’s worth watching, although the dialogue was a little too “campy.”
But viewers on X said “camp” makes the show fun. The series trended throughout the night on Wednesday, with many fans praising Murphy and the cast.
Social media commentator Ashleigh Louise wrote, “All’s Fair is my type of nonsense camp show. Sorry I LOVE this type of ridiculousness. Diamonds, fashion, bad b–hes and it’s sexy.”
Another person added, “It’s so bad it’s good. I’m sorry I needed something to scratch the trash media itch.”
Someone else found the show “entertaining,” but wasn’t sold on Kardashian’s acting.
“Score of 0% for @allsfaironhulu is ridiculous, I actually think it’s quite entertaining. Kim shouldn’t pursue an acting career though,” the person posted.
The series follows a group of women who left a male-dominated law firm to open their own powerhouse practice — where winning is everything.
The ensemble cast includes Emmy winners Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Glenn Close, alongside Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, and two-time Oscar nominee Naomi Watts.
Halle Berry was initially cast in the series but dropped out of the production in 2024.
The drama comes from 20th Television and Ryan Murphy Television. The long list of executive producers includes Ryan Murphy, Anthony Hemingway, Kris Jenner and most of the cast.
The 9-episode first season debuted Tuesday on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
