The new Hulu series by Ryan Murphy, named ‘All’s Fair,’ has been getting a lot of attention, and it is easy to guess why. As we already know, the cast includes Kim Kardashian, along with big names such as Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Teyana Taylor, and many more; fans were expecting something bold and dramatic.
As we know, Murphy usually delivers shows that are full of style and prominent personalities, but this time, though, the sparkle doesn’t quite hide how empty it feels underneath.
Kim Kardashian and Her Girlfriends Shine in Style, but Falter When it comes to Emotion
Kim Kardashian plays Allura Grant, who is a high-powered lawyer who starts an all-female law firm with Liberty Ronson, played by Naomi Watts, and Emerald Greene, played by Niecy Nash-Betts.
The idea sounds exciting, and as of now, fans are curious to see if Kardashian can handle a serious role. She looks confident and polished, but her performance feels stiff and emotionless, and sadly, the rest of the show matches that same tone.
From what we can tell, after seeing the show, All’s Fair wants to be both empowering and glamorous, and keeping all the aspects in mind, the reviewing bit has its own layers. We can say that the show is all about modern eccentrics. Something about which we could send a GIF or highlight the dialogues in some TikTok reel, but that is all.
It is all but nothing, a trendsetter in a world where it gets viral on the basis of no execution, and maybe that’s why the show does make sense in its befitting genre. The three women leave their old firm to build a space where they represent only female clients, mostly in divorce cases. On paper, that sounds like a great setup for strong character moments, but in practice, it often turns into a show about fancy clothes, luxury homes, and private jets.

Drama misses Marks, but the Sparkling Visuals somehow keep Fans Hooked
As you can expect from Ryan Murphy, the visuals are honestly stunning. Every scene is filled with bright colors, sparkling jewelry, and designer outfits. The fashion is easily one of the best parts of the show, and fans who love Murphy’s over-the-top style will definitely notice that, but once we look past the surface, the story feels weak.
Each episode tries to mix a new legal case with personal drama. Allura is dealing with her own husband leaving her, Liberty is afraid of commitment, and their mentor Dina, played by Glenn Close, is trying to balance work and her husband’s illness. These storylines could have been powerful, but they never hit the emotional depth they aimed for.
Even with so many talented actors, the dialogue feels unnatural and often forced. The show looks expensive and important, but it doesn’t say anything meaningful.
We know fans expected something sharper from Murphy, especially after shows like Feud and American Horror Story. As of now, All’s Fair feels like a beautifully packaged series that lacks heart. It might keep people talking for its fashion and cast, but it doesn’t give us much to feel.
