Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash star in Ryan Murphy's new series "All's Fair," a drama about an all-female law firm specializing in divorce cases. The show follows the founders of this law firm as they deliver justice to women who have been unlucky enough to marry wealthy men.
Kim K plays Allura, the founder of the firm and married to a football star who is resentful of her husband's shadow over his own success. Naomi Watts plays Liberty, the wife who falls in love with the woman hired for a threesome and walks off 10 minutes later with a $210m settlement after acquiring video evidence of the husband's extensive perversions.
The performances on "All's Fair" are weak, especially from Kim K, who is as expressionless as you might expect. Watts also delivers her lines archly, almost cracking her joints in an attempt to convey emotion. The guest stars fare no better, with even the usually reliable Sarah Paulson struggling to hide her disappointment.
The plot of "All's Fair" is just as disappointing, with cases wrapping up in a fraction of the time it takes for Kim K's nail varnish to dry. There are also cringe-worthy moments like a couple of the worst kissing scenes ever seen on screen and an obsession with brand names that would have shamed even the Spice Girls 30 years ago.
At its core, "All's Fair" seems to be about female empowerment but it falls flat in this aspect as well. The concept feels dated and would have been criticized in the past for its shallow portrayal of women's independence.
Overall, "All's Fair" is a mess that fails at being campy drama or even just a straightforward bad show. It's a complete failure in all aspects, making it hard to find any redeeming qualities.

I gotta say, this new series "All's Fair" from Ryan Murphy is straight trash 
! The cast has some big names like Kim K and Naomi Watts but they can't save the show from its weak plot and cringe-worthy moments 
. It feels like they're trying too hard to be campy drama but it falls flat. I mean, a girl who walks off with $210m settlement in 10 minutes? 
that's just not believable! And don't even get me started on the kissing scenes...
It's like they took all the leftover script ideas and mashed them together into this messy show. The only thing "All's Fair" is fair at is being a complete failure 
. Kim K's acting is like something you'd see on an early YouTube tutorial 
. The whole thing feels like a rehash of "The Devil Wears Prada" but with less depth and more cringe 
. Female empowerment is something that should be celebrated, not reduced to shallow branding and dated concepts 
. Overall it's just a mess of an episode that fails at being anything remotely interesting 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good trainwreck and "All's Fair" is definitely one of those. The performances are straight out of a high school production, except it's the adult actors, bless their souls 
. And don't even get me started on the plot - it's like Ryan Murphy took every terrible TV trope from the 90s and mashed them all together into one big mess 
. I'm all for female empowerment, but if it can't be done with some actual depth and nuance, then maybe we should just stick to reruns of "The Real Housewives" 
like seriously who cast kim k as the lead? she's got that whole "ice queen" vibe going on and it's just so not working for me. Naomi watts is usually a solid actress but even she can't save this trainwreck. and what's up with all the brand names being shoved down our throats? it feels like they're trying too hard to be edgy. i mean i love a good drama as much as the next person, but "all's fair" just isn't doing it for me... 
. And don't even get me started on the cringe-worthy moments... those kissing scenes were more awkward than a middle school dance 
! The plot moves at a snail pace and it feels like they're trying to cram in as many brand names as possible 
. I mean, who thought this was a good idea? The whole thing just feels dated and shallow, you know? 
. The plot is so slow and predictable, it's like they took every cliche from a bad rom-com and mashed them all together 
, but this one is a total letdown...
. And what's with all the brand names? It feels like they're trying too hard to be edgy or something. I think the show is supposed to be about female empowerment but it just comes across as shallow and dated 
. I mean, who needs a $210m settlement in 10 minutes? That's just not believable. Overall, it's just a mess 
. The cast is talented, don't get me wrong, but the writing and directing are just off 
Naomi Watts delivering her lines like she's cracking joints on camera... it's just weird. And the plot? Forget about it! It's like they took every cliche from "The Devil Wears Prada" and mashed them all together into one messy disaster 
.
. I mean, if you want to explore female empowerment, do it in a way that's actually impactful, not just a shallow attempt at being edgy 
. The acting is pretty meh too - Kim K's expressionless face was kinda on point, but Naomi Watts' whole "acting out" thing got old fast 
I just felt like the show was trying to be something it's not - campy drama or empowering women - and it just ends up being a mess 
. And Naomi Watts' character? Forget about it, it's like watching her try to do some kinda weird yoga with her face 
. Not worth the binge-watching session 
. [1]
. And don't even get me started on the 'dramatic' performances - Kim K was basically wooden, Naomi Watts was stiff as a board, and Sarah Paulson was stuck trying to carry that mess to life 
and Naomi Watts seems like she's having a stiff upper lip trying to convey any real emotion 
. Not even the guest stars could save this one from its overall lackluster performance
