Just when you thought Ryan Murphy couldn’t stoop any lower, the creator of sleazy TV may have truly hit rock bottom with a new Hulu show titled “All’s Fair.”
So far, it sits comfortably at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Are you that surprised? Kim Kardashian is the star. The Hollywood Reporter describes her as “Stiff and Affectless Without a Single Authentic Note.”
Kardashian plays the owner of an all-female law firm in Los Angeles (this would be a good time to find that famous Captain Picard facepalm meme).
No, really—Kardashian is the brains behind the firm, leading other top lawyers played by the likes of Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash. Sarah Paulson plays Kardashian’s bitter rival. Oh, and future Oscar nominee, maybe even winner, Teyana Taylor is in the cast too. Hopefully Academy voters don’t get to catch her work here and just stick with repeat watching “One Battle After Another.”
Kardashian is not an actress; she’s a social-climbing celebrity whose entire career is built on trash.
The UK Daily Telegraph:
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.
Murphy is so prolific that, for example, last year he debuted six popular shows in 10 days across four different networks. They all did very well.
Sadly, he’s made it a habit of turning scandalous real-life events, especially concerning serial killers, into streaming spectacle. Anything he does skyrockets to the top of the streaming charts. Just last month, he released the latest in his “Monster” series, this one tackling early 20th century murderer and body snatcher Ed Gein.
Yes, ‘Doomsday’ was shot without a finalized script. It was being written as production rolled on. The screenplay was still under development on set, with daily rewrites and updates in progress.
