Ryan Murphy, Hollywood’s self-styled master of excess, has delivered one of the most misguided productions ever released on Disney+. Whatever else can be said about Kim Kardashian, she has rarely chosen the predictable path.
Back in 2014, after her wedding to Kanye West at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, she flew directly to Cork Airport for a honeymoon in Ireland. The couple reportedly stayed in Castlemartyr and even attended a daytime screening of X-Men: Days of Future Past in Portlaoise. It was an unusual itinerary for a global celebrity, but emblematic of her taste for the unexpected.
Now long divorced and still marching to the beat of her own drum, Kardashian returns with a new venture – the legal drama All’s Fair. Unfortunately, the project is widely regarded as a disaster. Critics call it one of the worst offerings ever put out by Disney+, a remarkable statement considering the platform’s uneven record.
Despite the show’s failings, Kardashian’s fame has drawn a lineup of formidable talent. Naomi Watts features in the cast, appearing as bemused as she once did when forced to act alongside a giant gorilla in Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Also present is Glenn Close, whose visible confusion underscores the show’s lack of purpose or clarity.
“All’s Fair is a proper atrocity exhibition and one of the worst things Disney+ has ever foisted upon its subscribers.”
Kardashian’s legal drama All’s Fair brings together major stars but collapses under poor writing and direction, marking a new low for Disney+ productions.
