Kim Kardashian's new legal drama, All's Fair, has yet to impress the TV critics. The Hulu series debuted its first three episodes on Tuesday, November 4, with a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, which measures the percentage of professional critics who give a film or TV show a positive review. Meanwhile, on Metacritic, All's Fair currently has a Metascore of 11 out of 100 - described as being "overwhelmingly disliked" by critics - and a user score of 2.4 out of 10, or "generally unfavorable" among viewers. In a zero-star review from The Guardian, TV critic Lucy Mangan wrote that she "did not know it was still possible to make television this bad." "I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong," Mangan continued. "The new series from Ryan Murphy, All's Fair - starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash as the founders of an all-female law firm delivering divorce-y justice to incredibly rich but slightly unlucky women under the azure skies of California - is terrible. Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible." Sarah Paulson Praises Kim Kardashian's Acting in New Show 'All's Fair' The Times' deputy TV editor Ben Dowell also gave the show zero stars, writing that the series "may be the worst TV drama ever" in the review's headline. "Because All's Fair (Disney+) is so bad, it's not even enjoyably so. It thinks it's a feminist fable about spirited lawyers getting their own back on cruel rich men but is in fact a tacky and revolting monument to the same greed, vanity and avarice it supposedly targets," he wrote. "All scripted, it feels, by a toddler who couldn't write 'bum' on a wall." Dowell wrote of Kardashian, 45, "Does Kardashian (who plans to take bar exams, we are told) make a convincing lawyer? No, she does not. She is to acting what Genghis Khan is to a peaceful liberal democracy, though of course the dialogue - a tsunami of clunking cliché that drowns this whole enterprise in the first five minutes - doesn't help her cause." Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter critic Angie Han described both Kardashian's acting as lawyer Allura Grant and the writing as "stiff and affectless without a single authentic note." Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts Disney/Ser Baffo "Her very presence, which succeeds at generating buzz and not much else, feels fitting for a show that seems to want not to be watched so much as mined for viral bits and pieces," Han added. All's Fair follows a team of female divorce attorneys who open their own practice in Los Angeles. In addition to Kardashian, Watts, 57, and Nash, 55, the series stars Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson. "Fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances - both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don't just play the game - they change it," the synopsis reads. Kardashian previously worked with Murphy, 59, on American Horror Story season 12, receiving mostly positive critical reviews for her performance as publicist Siobhan Corbyn. Sarah Paulson Thinks Kim Kardashian Should Be Taken 'Seriously' as Actress The Skims founder opened up about doing All's Fair in an interview with BBC on Monday, November 3, revealing that she wanted to "come in prepared" to the set and spent every day "watching and learning" from her costars, whom she called "the best acting coaches in the world." Kardashian also noted that there was a lot of pressure on her because Murphy and everyone else behind the show were "taking a chance on working with [her]." "The last thing I would want to do is be unprofessional, be late or not know my lines," she added.
