Kim Kardashian's Acting Debut: A Bumpy Ride
Kim Kardashian's leap into acting has hit a rough patch. Her new show, "All's Fair," is facing harsh criticism from reviewers. The drama, created by Ryan Murphy, follows a team of powerful female lawyers taking on wealthy, unkind men. Despite the star-studded cast, including Naomi Watts and Glenn Close, the show is struggling to win over critics.
Brutal Reception
The show's debut on Rotten Tomatoes was brutal, starting at 0% and only slightly improving to 6%. Critics were particularly tough on Kardashian's performance. The Hollywood Reporter described her acting as stiff and lacking authenticity, fitting for a show that seems more interested in creating viral moments than telling a compelling story. The Telegraph went even further, calling the show a "crime against television."
Behind the Scenes
The idea to cast Kardashian came from a dinner set up by Disney's Dana Walden. Ryan Murphy admitted that his initial pitch wasn't great, but Kris Jenner suggested he write a role for Kim instead. Despite the criticism, Murphy praised Kardashian, calling her fantastic. Kardashian has been heavily promoting the show, drawing inspiration for her character from her own divorce attorney, Laura Wasser.
Future Projects
Kardashian's role in "All's Fair" is just the beginning of her Hollywood journey. She has more projects lined up, including:
- A comedy feature for Netflix
- A potential role in a "Bratz" movie adaptation
- Appearances in "American Horror Story"
- Voiced characters in "PAW Patrol" movies
Mixed Reactions
While critics have been harsh, some viewers are enjoying the show's campiness and over-the-top performances. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 62%, with some fans praising the show's boldness and others finding the bad reviews intriguing. Some viewers even see the criticism as sexist, arguing that the show's badness is part of its charm.
Conclusion
Despite the mixed reactions, new episodes of "All's Fair" continue to drop weekly on Hulu, giving viewers plenty of opportunities to decide for themselves whether the show is a hit or a miss.
