All’s Fair, Ryan Murphy’s legal fever dream starring Kim Kardashian, has officially been renewed for a second season.
That’s right — despite critics annihilating the show with reviews that read like punchlines, Hulu and Disney+ are betting big and making room for more silk blouses, bitter divorces, and, presumably, Kris Jenner’s monarchic meddling.
There’s no way to sugarcoat the reviews. The show debuted to a rare and infamous zero per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with USA Today dubbing it “the worst TV show of all time”. The Guardian said they “did not know it was still possible to make television this bad”, while The Times described the show’s dialogue as “a tsunami of clunking clichés”. Kim Kardashian’s acting was called “as stiff and affectless” as the writing itself, per The Hollywood Reporter.
One critic quipped: “She to acting what Genghis Khan is to peaceful liberal democracy.”
But never underestimate the entertainment value of a spectacular disaster or the power of hate-watchers, because somehow, the carnage drew a crowd.
All’s Fair clocked in 3.2 million views globally within three days, making it Hulu’s biggest scripted debut in three years and averaging a spot in the platform’s vaunted top 15 since day dot, per The Wrap. There was a flood of discourse — 190 million video views and seven billion social media impressions, from hate-watch parties to Allura Grant stan edits.
Rotten Tomatoes eventually crept up to a whole three per cent, but audience scores tell a more nuanced tale: about 66 per cent, suggesting that at least a few punters found the chaos compelling, or at the very least couldn’t look away.
We don’t know much about the second season, but with Hulu and Disney+ ordering more episodes for us you can expect more gloriously awkward court scenes, even bolder fashion, and maybe a cameo from Kris Jenner herself.
