Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama All’s Fair has divided critics but delighted fans, becoming the most watched title on Hulu in the US and 27 other countries despite receiving harsh reviews.
The multifaceted star joins a powerhouse female ensemble, including Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash, in Ryan Murphy’s high-stakes legal thriller.
The show follows a group of ambitious female lawyers who leave their firm to start their own company, with Kardashian’s character, divorce attorney Allura, seeking revenge on her younger husband who married her for money.
Despite being panned by critics, Rotten Tomatoes initially rated the series zero percent, climbing only to 6 percent, fans praised it as “glamorous and silly escapism.”
Social media buzzed with viewers calling it “campy, fun, and empowering,” enjoying the glossy visuals, dramatic plotlines, and the female-led cast.
Kardashian herself acknowledged the attention on Instagram, joking to her 354 million followers: “Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?” while sharing data that All’s Fair had become the most-watched show on Disney+ in multiple countries.
The star-studded cast also includes guest appearances by Brooke Shields, Elizabeth Berkley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Judith Light, adding to the series’ glitzy appeal. Glenn Close, who plays Dina Standish, poked fun at the harsh reviews with a playful Instagram post featuring a cast illustration in front of a boiling pot labeled “critic bunny strew.”
Fans took to social media to celebrate the show’s entertainment value. Comments ranged from “Loved it – total escapism” to “The fashion, the drama – the ladies have killed it, and hats off to Kim; she’s really gone up in my estimations!” Others appreciated the empowering female storylines, seeing the series as a welcome break from more serious dramas.
While critics were less forgiving – The Times called it “possibly the worst TV drama ever,” and USA Today labeled it “the worst TV show of the year” – the audience response shows a striking disconnect between professional reviews and fan enjoyment.
With its mix of glamour, drama, and campy storytelling, All’s Fair proves that in today’s streaming landscape, star power and audience engagement can outweigh even the harshest critical reception.
The series continues its release schedule on Disney+ and Hulu, with new episodes keeping viewers tuned in for the next chapter of high-stakes legal drama and stylish escapism.
