Kim Kardashian’s big TV gamble backfires spectacularly

AFTER all the hype around All’s Fair, it was only a matter of time before critics and fans weighed in on the legal drama, helmed by Kim Kardashian.

And the feedback is not good. Right now, Ryan Murphy is probably scratching his head, wondering what went wrong.

After all, he’s been excelling in the series playground with American Horror Story, Monster and American Crime Story.

I mean, he pulled out all the stops with the casting: Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close. But then he went and cast Kardashian as the lead. Talk about playing it a little too close to the bone, here.

We know, from the reality series, that the Skims founder is very passionate about justice and has been working on passing the bar for several years now. While this might appear to be the perfect role for her, it’s proven to be quite disastrous for her. But more on that in a bit.

Disney+ dropped the first three episodes of the series. It opens with Allura Grant (Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Watts) deciding to quit their misogynistic-run law firm with the blessing of their mentor Dina Standish (Close).
