Immediately, I had questions. What is Teyana Taylor doing here, and why did her team make her do this?\u00a0Why is Sarah Paulson talking in a bizarre, booming accent I can only describe as &#8220;Transatlantic adjacent?&#8221; Is that E from &#8220;Entourage?&#8221; (Yes, it <em>i<\/em><em>s<\/em> Kevin Connolly.) Also, why are we\u00a0<em>still pretending<\/em> that Kim Kardashian can act?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kardashian is many things. She&#8217;s a shapewear maven, an original reality TV star &#8230; honestly, one could call her a reality TV pioneer. She is\u00a0<em>not<\/em>, however, an actress. Kardashian&#8217;s character on &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair&#8221; is, without question, the protagonist, even though the ensemble cast includes luminaries like Niecy Nash-Betts, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, and the aforementioned Paulson. That protagonist, the absurdly named Allura Grant, works at the female-led divorce firm Grant, Ronson and Greene, which helps women get away from their horrible, cheating, and openly vile future ex-husbands. After being overlooked by male colleagues, Allura and her fellow lawyers and collaborators \u2014 Liberty Ronson (Watts), Dina Standish (Close), and firm researcher Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts) \u2014 start their own firm where women represent women, which is, I guess, a nice idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To say Kardashian is out of her depth on this show is to be kind. Watts, Close, and Nash-Betts \u2014 alongside supporting players like Ed O&#8217;Neill as Dina&#8217;s loving husband and Paulson as a rival lawyer named Carrington Lane \u2014 also struggle with the show&#8217;s script, which isn&#8217;t good, and its trajectory, which is abjectly silly. I need people \u2014 people <em>like Murphy\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 to stop pretending, though, that Kardashian is an actress. She&#8217;s not!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1946654\/this-is-spinal-trap-first-watch-thoughts\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:It's 2025 And I Just Watched This Is Spinal Tap For The First Time - These Are My Honest Thoughts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">It&#8217;s 2025 And I Just Watched This Is Spinal Tap For The First Time &#8211; These Are My Honest Thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">American Horror Story: Delicate already proved that Kim Kardashian is a terrible actress<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Siobhan zipping up Anna&#8217;s white dress on American Horror Story: Delicate &#8211; FX<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you watched <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1743094\/american-horror-story-shows-in-order\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;American Horror Story: Delicate&quot; \u2014 the 12th overall season of Ryan Murphy's hit anthology series;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8220;American Horror Story: Delicate&#8221; \u2014 the 12th overall season of Ryan Murphy&#8217;s hit anthology series<\/a> \u2014 I&#8217;d first like to offer my condolences. If you\u00a0<em>haven&#8217;t<\/em> watched it, you&#8217;re lucky, but let me fill you in. Based on Danielle Valentine&#8217;s horror novel &#8220;Delicate Condition,&#8221; the season stars Murphy regular Emma Roberts as actress Anna Victoria Alcott, who&#8217;s trying to conceive a child with her husband Dexter Harding Jr. (&#8220;Gilmore Girls&#8221; and &#8220;The Resident&#8221; veteran Matt Czuchry) using IVF when she starts worrying that someone is following her. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1253897\/kim-kardashian-american-horror-story-ryan-murphy-shocked-took-this-long\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:So where does Kardashian fit in?

We&#8217;ve already met her famous football star husband, Chase Munroe (Matthew Noszka), who, in the pilot, presents Allura with a diamond ring that supposedly once belonged to Hollywood luminary Elizabeth Taylor to celebrate their anniversary, admitting he doesn&#8217;t know who Taylor is and then abruptly asks for a divorce later in that\u00a0very same episode.\u00a0Thanks to Emerald&#8217;s expertise in digging up dirt, we find out that Chase is having\u00a0<em>multiple<\/em> affairs \u2014 one with the law firm&#8217;s research assistant Milan (Teyana Taylor, who deserves better) and one with transgender sex worker\u00a0Maria Coulatis (Hari Nef, who also deserves better.) (I&#8217;m not the right person to speak to the way this show handles trans issues, but with the utmost due respect to Nef, it&#8217;s not\u00a0<em>great!<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Dina and Emerald present Allura with damning information and specifics about Chase&#8217;s affairs, Kardashian has a chance to prove she can actually act. She does not rise to the occasion. &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m in a dream,&#8221; she deadpans as if she&#8217;s providing a confessional for her still-running reality series &#8220;The Kardashians&#8221; (which <em>also<\/em> airs on Hulu). None of Allura&#8217;s lines, as delivered by Kardashian, contains an ounce of human emotion. Kardashian is performing like a reality TV star, <em>not<\/em> an actress \u2014 and to be fair, she&#8217;s simply calling on her own training here. She&#8217;s good at delivering extremely precise and pre-approved &#8220;revelations&#8221; like someone does on reality TV, but that&#8217;s not <em>acting<\/em>; she&#8217;s just saying words with no meaning behind them. Kardashian, in real life, is what one could charitably call a semi-lawyer. She&#8217;s not, however, good at playing one on TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;re looking for the easiest way to keep up with all the major movie and TV news, why not <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.slashfilm.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a>?
