The cast of All’s Fair, Disney+’s divisive new series Disney
Often, when something’s said to have had “mixed reviews” it’s a polite way of saying that it’s, to be frank, a bit of a stinker.
But in the case of Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama All’s Fair, the reviews have been overwhelmingly bad with no room for any ambiguity, as critics have savaged it for being “fascinatingly, existentially terrible” while it holds a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
That being said, human nature means plenty of us will be heading straight to watch All’s Fair on that basis alone.
If that’s the case, here’s where you might recognise the star-studded cast from…
