The negative reviews of &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair&#8221; are, honestly, correct. It&#8217;s not, by any metric, a well-written or even particularly well-performed show; Kim Kardashian is blatantly terrible, and even veteran performers like Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Naomi Watts seem hamstrung by the abjectly ridiculous dialogue they&#8217;re forced to scream at one another. I&#8217;ll back up for a second, though. What is &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair&#8221; even about?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The series focuses on Grant, Ronson, and Greene, a firm of female divorce lawyers \u2014 who\u00a0<em>only<\/em> cater to female clients \u2014 run by Allura Grant, Liberty Ronson, and Emerald Greene. (Close&#8217;s Dina Standish is more of a mentor figure after working with all three of those women at a previous firm.) Not only is all of the legal stuff on this show probably utterly incorrect, despite Kardashian&#8217;s real life credentials of sorts, but the dialogue is bizarre, profanity-laden to the point where I can&#8217;t even really quote it, and baffling. An example: in the pilot, Allura&#8217;s football player husband Chase Munroe\u00a0(Matthew Noszka) gifts her a diamond once owned by movie star Elizabeth Taylor for their anniversary and professes his love. In the couple&#8217;s\u00a0<em>very next scene<\/em>, Chase is announcing that he wants a divorce because he hasn&#8217;t been happy in a long time.\u00a0<em>What?<\/em> (This, incidentally, involves Close in the action, because Dina becomes Allura&#8217;s divorce lawyer.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Close, Watts, Paulson, Nash-Betts, and Teyana Taylor are all far too good for this show. (Sorry, Kim.) Still, a different but technically connected Hulu series at least revealed that Close is having a grand old time making &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair&#8221; in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Kardashians basically proves that Glenn Close is at least having fun on All&#8217;s Fair<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Liberty, Emerald, Dina, and Allura on a private plane drinking champagne and laughing in All's Fair\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/nCvBCzsukEZj6BNVvW4Rjg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/slashfilm_articles_873\/15f9c1c9e0ac2189eb9692d259bd27ba\"\/><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>Liberty, Emerald, Dina, and Allura on a private plane drinking champagne and laughing in All&#8217;s Fair &#8211; Disney\/Ser Baffo<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking of &#8220;Fatal Attraction,&#8221; Kim Kardashian&#8217;s\u00a0<em>other<\/em> Hulu show, &#8220;The Kardashians,&#8221; is airing alongside &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair,&#8221; and it&#8217;s providing some legitimately interesting behind-the-scenes tidbits about the show&#8217;s central cast. Specifically, in the second episode of season 7, Kardashian matriarch and infamous momager Kris Jenner \u2014 who,\u00a0<em>naturally<\/em>, is an executive producer on &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair&#8221; \u2014 decides to visit her daughter on set and brings up Glenn Close&#8217;s role in &#8220;Fatal Attraction,&#8221; remarking that she&#8217;s seen the movie so many times. That&#8217;s when everyone, including\u00a0<em>Close herself<\/em>, learns that Kardashian has\u00a0<em>never seen the film<\/em>, at which point Jenner decides that the entire cast should go hang out at her palatial California estate and have a watch party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This culminates in a &#8220;scene&#8221; where the cast\u00a0<em>does<\/em>, in fact, gather at Jenner&#8217;s house for martinis and a watch party, with Close sharing the story of how she was performing on Broadway and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1555480\/glenn-close-best-role-fatal-attraction-casting-uncertainty\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:still flew to Los Angeles to audition for &quot;Fatal Attraction,&quot;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">still flew to Los Angeles to audition for &#8220;Fatal Attraction,&#8221;<\/a> ultimately booking the role. (Also, they&#8217;re all in pajamas.) Between that and literal behind-the-scenes footage of Close scolding Kardashian and Sarah Paulson for ruining takes by laughing, only to laugh herself, &#8220;The Kardashians&#8221; makes it quite clear that Close is having a grand old time making &#8220;All&#8217;s Fair.&#8221; And honestly?\u00a0<em>Good for her!\u00a0<\/em>She&#8217;s worked pretty hard!
