\n \u201cAll\u2019s Fair,\u201d the new Ryan Murphy drama<\/a> starring Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash and Naomi Watts on Hulu, is getting a ton of buzz. But buzz is not always a good thing.\n <\/p>\n \n Or maybe it is? After all, 30 years have passed since the film \u201cShowgirls<\/a>\u201d was loudly and frequently trashed upon its release. Now it\u2019s hailed as \u201cinsanely rewatchable\u201d<\/a> and considered a prime example of the \u201cso bad it\u2019s good\u201d category.\n <\/p>\n \n We can\u2019t rule out the idea that \u201cAll\u2019s Fair\u201d is actually bad on purpose. In the age of the hate-watch, the truly terrible and the seriously campy can do numbers.\n <\/p>\n \n That view may be the only positive thought about the sleek-looking legal melodrama \u201cAll\u2019s Fair,\u201d which follows a female-led law firm that tries to give off all the girl-boss vibes.\n <\/p>\n \n Released on November 4, the 10-episode series was immediately slammed by critics, clocking a flat 0%<\/a> on Rotten Tomatoes.\n <\/p>\n \n The Times of London gave the series a zero star review<\/a>,\u201d describing the show as \u201cpreening Insta boasts\u201d strung together \u201cinto a clumsy, haphazard whole.\u201d The Wrap<\/a> called it a \u201cstock caricature from a man\u2019s idea of a woman\u2019s drama\u201d and \u201ca cavalcade of wigs and screeching in search of truth.\u201d USA Today cut right to the point with their story\u2019s<\/a> headline: \u201cKim Kardashian\u2019s \u2018All\u2019s Fair\u2019 is the worst TV show of the year.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n That Kardashian\u2019s name is so prominent in the reviews is to be expected.\n <\/p>\n \n While the reality star and Skims magnate had a role in Murphy\u2019s FX series \u201cAmerican Horror Story: Delicate\u201d in 2023, Kardashian definitely shows as the rookie opposite established actors like Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson.\n <\/p>\n \n Murphy appears to have been fascinated by Kardashian long before she started starring in his projects.\n <\/p>\n \n The first season of his \u201cAmerican Crime Story\u201d anthology was 2016\u2019s Emmy-winning \u201cThe People v. O. J. Simpson,\u201d which starred David Schwimmer as her father, attorney Robert Kardashian, who represented Simpson in his 1995 murder trial.\n <\/p>\n \n Murphy made sure to include the characters of Kim Kardashian and her sisters as youngsters growing up during the trial; in the show, they are seen watching their father on TV. The series\u2019 showrunners, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, talked to Vanity Fair<\/a> at the time and explained the decision, saying they wanted to highlight the beginning of the 24-hour news cycle and the creation of reality TV, and how it might have \u201caffected the future Kardashian empire.\u201d When \u201call this media frenzy was going on, how would that affect you?\u201d they asked. One way or another, Kardashian as an adult became the master of the medium.\n <\/p>\n \n Murhpy\u2019s fascination seems not to have successfully translated into a convincing big-budget Kardashian star vehicle.\n <\/p>\n
