The New Yorker:

“All’s Fair,” Ryan Murphy’s new celebrity-heavy legal drama, starring Kim Kardashian, is now streaming on Hulu.

Is the show watchable?

“At this point I don’t think anyone will be surprised to read that the show is pretty damn bad—it did, after all, début on Rotten Tomatoes with a zero-per-cent rating—but, as I watched, I began thinking that it might belong in the category of being so bad that it is, if not exactly good, at least interesting as high, high, high camp.

“The action centers around a bunch of incredibly successful, incredibly sassy female divorce lawyers who peddle secure-the-bag girlboss feminism to their female clients. It also involves a ton of wealth porn, which makes sense for a show that stars Kardashian. The characters are caricatures, the dialogue is absurd, but, once I accepted that the show is simply ridiculous, I kind of started enjoying it. Kate Berlant as a dominatrix named Devin Elisa Samartino? Sarah Paulson as a vindictive divorce attorney who shits on an Edible Arrangement she sends her nemeses? Glenn Close as a grande-dame lawyer who, at one point, randomly quotes Golda Meir and, at another, tells Paulson’s character, ‘Do you ever think how much happier we’d all be if your mother swallowed?’ I might just keep watching.”
