Prepare for a critical consensus that's as rare as it is scathing! Ryan Murphy's latest creation, 'All's Fair', has united critics in a unanimous verdict: a guilty verdict for being 'empty', 'stiff', and, well, just plain 'terrible'!
This Hulu legal drama, starring an ensemble cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Glenn Close, follows the journey of three lawyers who set out to empower women in need of a tough divorce advocate. But here's where it gets controversial: the show's execution falls flat, leaving viewers and critics alike scratching their heads.
Angie Han from The Hollywood Reporter describes it as "empty" and "unforgivably dull." She highlights the show's focus on fashion and one-liners, but criticizes the dialogue, which ranges from bland to excessively profane. Han writes, "When it's not boring, it's exhausting." Ouch!
Lucy Mangan of The Guardian goes even further, calling it a "Ryan Murphy disaster" and stating, "I didn't think it was possible to make TV this bad." She describes it as "existentially terrible," a bold claim that will surely spark debate.
And the criticism doesn't stop there. Ben Dowell from The Times doesn't hold back, labeling it "the worst TV drama ever." He writes, "It's not even enjoyably bad." Dowell goes on to say that the show's supposed feminist message is undermined by its tacky portrayal of greed and vanity.
Finally, Ed Power from The Telegraph sums it up with a simple yet powerful statement: "A crime against television."
So, what do you think? Is 'All's Fair' truly a disaster, or is there something to be appreciated amidst the criticism? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear your take on this controversial series.
