Anthony Hemingway, who is both director and executive producer on the legal drama, has defended the show which has been the subject of a critical pile-on

The Guardian has only ever published 15 zero-star reviews. Here they all are

One of the directors of the critically maligned legal drama All’s Fair has responded to negative reviews, saying that “not everything is for everybody”.

Anthony Hemingway, who has directed four episodes of the show and is an executive producer on it, was asked about his thoughts on the overwhelmingly bad reviews in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

The show from Ryan Murphy stars Oscar nominees Glenn Close and Naomi Watts but is led by Kim Kardashian, who has received the brunt of the criticism. In a zero-star review, the Guardian’s Lucy Mangan said it was “fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible”, while writing for the Times, Ben Dowell called it “tacky and revolting”.
