All’s Fair’ Slated by Critics as Rotten Tomatoes Creeps to 6% After Single Positive Review

Reviewers fault the writing and performances as audiences respond more warmly and weekly episodes continue to roll out.

Overview

  • Hulu/Disney+ premiered the first three episodes on Nov. 4, launching Ryan Murphy’s legal drama led by Kim Kardashian with Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close and Teyana Taylor.
  • The Guardian and The Times issued rare zero‑star reviews, with critics calling the dialogue clichéd and Kardashian’s performance “stiff and affectless.”
  • Rotten Tomatoes moved from an initial 0% to 6% after one positive notice out of 17, while the show holds a very low Metacritic score reported across outlets.
  • Audience reaction has been more mixed than critics’ pans, with Rotten Tomatoes user scores hovering in the mid‑50s to low‑60s and social posts praising its camp appeal.
  • New episodes arrive weekly through Dec. 9, extending the spotlight on the series and the creative team, with Kardashian and Kris Jenner listed as executive producers and the character said to draw from attorney Laura Wasser.
