All's Fair is branded the 'worst show of the century' as Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close's legal drama is labelled 'unspeakably atrocious' in savage reviews of season two

All's Fair has been branded the 'worst show of the century' as Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close's legal drama is labelled 'unspeakably atrocious' by critics. The second season of the Ryan Murphy-created show has been savaged, with one star reviews and also being branded the 'worst show of the 21st century'. Despite the first season, which was released last year, receiving a similarly frosty reaction the show became the Hulu's most-watched scripted series debut of the last three years and was immediately renewed. All's Fair is created by the American Horror Story founder Ryan and follows an all-female group of divorce lawyers, played by Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts. The Telegraph's Ed Power's scathing one star offering was accompanied by the astonishing branding of being 'unspeakably atrocious'.Kim's involvement was at the helm of last season's ire with The Times' Ben Dowell writing: 'Does Kardashian make a convincing lawyer? No, she does not. She is to acting what Genghis Khan is to a peaceful liberal democracy.'

At some point you realise that you are having fun, instead of, like last time, holding your jaw off the ground and wondering how television could be this bad...'It has started groping its way towards “so bad it’s good” territory.'Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson added: 'Even when graded on the Ryan Murphy curve, All’s Fair was an impressively terrible series of television when it first debuted, and it remains so in Season 2...'However, there’s now a key difference, which is that it has totally given up pretending to be even a semi-serious show about California divorce lawyers...'As for what it is now, I have no idea, but it’s a thoroughly demented and entertainingly unpredictable affair all the same'.An early viewer review on Rotten Tomatoes simply branded the show: 'Horrible'. The first three episodes of All’s Fair's eight episode season two were released on Disney+ on Wednesday, with new episodes arriving every Wednesday. The Daily Mail's Christopher Stevens wrote of series one: 'The most skin-crawling, gut-squelching, teeth-grinding shovel full of TV ordure I have ever seen'. In November last year, Glenn defended Kim's 'stiff' acting, saying: 'What surprised me was Kim's seriousness of intent ALL'S FAIR: The Reviews THE GUARDIAN Rating:'From Glenn Close in pleather to naughty rumours about Bruno Mars, this legal drama is still absolutely ludicrous. But squint hard enough and it has slightly improved since its zero-star debut...'At some point you realise that you are having fun, instead of, like last time, holding your jaw off the ground and wondering how television could be this bad. It has started groping its way towards “so bad it’s good” territory.' THE TELEGRAPH Rating:'Strap in for a soap opera so profound in its awfulness that it’s hard not to read it as a grand statement about the futility of existence or, at the least, of a Disney+ subscription...'Why on earth would world-class actresses such as Glenn Close and Naomi Watts agree to star in the unspeakably atrocious All's Fair?'It’s 25 years since Watts starred in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, a surrealist LA fever dream widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the 21st century. Now she is starring in a surrealist LA fever dream that might just qualify as the worst TV series of the 21st century.'READY STEADY CUT Rating:'Even when graded on the Ryan Murphy curve, All’s Fair was an impressively terrible series of television when it first debuted, and it remains so in Season 2...'However, there’s now a key difference, which is that it has totally given up pretending to be even a semi-serious show about California divorce lawyers. As for what it is now, I have no idea, but it’s a thoroughly demented and entertainingly unpredictable affair all the same' On the first season, The Telegraph's Ed was slightly warmer, writing: 'Ryan Murphy is the high priest of tacky, tasteless television, and this year he has outdone himself with a show of mind-bending horror sure to trigger nightmares in the unsuspecting viewer.' The Guardian's first season review meanwhile opened with the musing 'I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad... But I was wrong. All's Fair is terrible. Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.'In November last year, Glenn defended Kim's 'stiff' acting, saying: 'What surprised me was Kim's seriousness of intent.'She had no pretensions that she was a great actress, but she was smart enough to have people around her who she could learn from. If she was a big ego, or what I call a 'life-is-too-short person', I would have been unhappy, but she's not.'Glenn added that Kim's reputation could have been a factor for the negative backlash, as she said not everybody likes the Kardashians and that they 'have an image'.When the show came out last year, it earned a 0% 'rotten' rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, before being raised to 3% later that month.
