5 d. ago ‘Kim Kardashian had no pretensions that she was a great actress’: Glenn Close hits back at zero

Actor praises co-star in abominably reviewed Ryan Murphy legal drama, and claims show deserved more appreciationGlenn Close has hit back at the critical mauling for her recent series All’s Fair. The actor stars in Ryan Murphy’s legal drama, which has received a string of zero-star reviews. In her appraisal, the Guardian’s Lucy Mangan described it as: “Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.” The series currently holds a 3% rating on reviews site Rotten Tomatoes.According to Close, the main issue was the choice to air the worst three episodes first. “I personally think that the first three episodes were the weakest,” she told Variety. “That was a tough way to start. I’ve seen all nine episodes, and I think it actually adds up to something.” Continue reading...

2 w. ago Is Kim Kardashian’s legal drama All’s Fair really the worst TV show of all time?

Ryan Murphy’s glossy, star-packed new show has received some of the most shocking reviews we’ve seen for a long time, including many zero star takesIf you get a secret thrill from reading bad reviews, this week has basically been your Christmas. This is when the embargo dropped for Ryan Murphy’s new Kim Kardashian-starring Hulu legal drama All’s Fair, and hoo boy. Lucy Mangan’s zero-star extravaganza was a classic of the form, starting with the line “I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad,” and only getting more despairing from there.But then something incredible happened. More All’s Fair reviews started popping up, and they were just as scathing. Every last one of them, without exception, absolutely hated it. In his zero-star review, The Times’s Ben Dowell observed that the show felt like it had been written “by a toddler who couldn’t write ‘bum’ on a wall.” USA Today’s Kelly Lawler wrote: “It’s so stilted, artificial and awkward not even a glass of wine a...

3 w. ago All’s Fair review – Kim Kardashian’s divorce drama is fascinatingly, existentially terrible

Not even Glenn Close can save this Ryan Murphy disaster from its dismal plots, clueless characters – and the worst kissing scenes ever filmedI did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevented any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong. The new series from Ryan Murphy, All’s Fair – starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash as the founders of an all-female law firm delivering divorce-y justice to incredibly rich but slightly unlucky women under the azure skies of California – is terrible. Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible. While I try to get my thoughts in order after bearing witness to the first episode, I’m going to give you a few direct quotes, so you can see why I’m struggling.“Let’s put the ‘team’ in ‘teamwork’.” Continue reading...

3 w. ago Pluribus to All’s Fair: the seven best shows to stream this week

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is back with a gripping, funny, head-spinner of a show, while Kim Kardashian stars in a blazingly camp drama about divorce lawyers. Plus, the thrilling return of Squid Game: The Challenge Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan returns with a gripping, funny, bleak, bewildering head-spinner of a series. It begins with a mysterious communication from outer space. This turns out to be an earthly glimpse of extraterrestrial technology: a psychic glue, binding humanity together. Great news, right? If you are one of the few people across the world seemingly immune to this zombified bliss, not so much. The superb Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, a cranky writer of bad, extremely successful historical romances and, reluctantly, the keeper of the flame of righteous human cynicism. Pluribus establishes and maintains a tone all of its own – dark humour, oddball surrealism and existential horror. Apple TV, from Friday 7 November Continue reading...
