By now, you’ve probably seen all the absolutely terrible reviews of Ryan Murphy’s new Hulu series “All’s Fair.” Critics have excoriated the series calling it a “clumsy, condescending girlboss fantasia,” “empty and unforgivably dull,” and “fascinatingly, existentially terrible.” It received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
But you should ignore these headlines and watch the show anyway. “All’s Fair” is must-see TV.
The legal drama has a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.
Here’s the overall gist of the show: Allura Grant (Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Watts) leave a stodgy, male-dominated law firm to start their own firm, “Women representing women, only” as Liberty calls it. They get the blessing to leave the firm from Dina Standish (Glenn Close) who lets them take one person with them, and that ends up being Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts). That pisses off Carrington “Carr” Lane (Sarah Paulson), another lawyer at the firm, who has a dramatic crash out for not getting Dina’s approval to leave first. Ten years later, Carr is still pissed and promises to rain hell on the ladies any chance she can get.
