All’s fair in art and criticism, and that’s good because “All’s Fair” is absolutely terrible.\u00a0The Ryan Murphy-created legal drama featuring reality television star Kim Kardashian as divorce lawyer\u00a0Allura Grant has been getting torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike, sitting currently at a 19 cumulative score (out of 100) on\u00a0Metacritic. While the concept of a group of all-female lawyers leaving their male-dominated firms to start their own feminist firm seems ripe for review-bombing, unfortunately, the show is actually just abysmal. It’s kind of a shame, too, because aside from the woefully cast Kardashian<\/a>, the cast is pretty fantastic. There are a couple of the better Murphy regulars, like Niecy\u00a0Nash-Betts and Sarah Paulson, along with major actors who seem to be slumming it a bit, like Naomi\u00a0Watts, Glenn Close, and even “Modern Family” and “Married… with Children” patriarch Ed\u00a0O’Neill.<\/p>\n While it’s certainly better than trying to squeeze every last drop of salacious material from real-life tragedies like Murphy’s “Monster” series, which has frustrated viewers season<\/a> after season<\/a>, “All’s Fair” isn’t good television. Look, I absolutely love the “Love\u00a0Boat”-meets-“Nip\/Tuck” ridiculousness of Murphy’s recently-discontinued “Doctor Odyssey,”<\/a> so\u00a0I don’t mind my television trashy or terribly written as long as it’s fun. Unfortunately, “All’s Fair” commits the greatest sin of all: it’s more than bad, it’s boring.<\/p>\n
