Hulu’s new legal drama All’s Fair, starring Kim Kardashian in her first series lead role, promises empowerment and high-powered courtroom battles. Instead, it stumbles into a glossy, surface-level fantasy that mistakes style for storytelling. The show sets out to celebrate women taking control, yet its first episodes are written and directed mostly by men — a telling contradiction that reflects in the tone.

Kardashian plays Allura Grant, a divorce attorney whose slick law firm represents only women. Alongside Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts) and Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash), she strides through a designer-filled LA office more like a Selling Sunset cast member than a legal professional. Their work is secondary to posing in perfect outfits, tossing around bold one-liners, and punishing cheating husbands in highly dramatic fashion.
The setup could have delivered sharp satire — after all, the show is created by Ryan Murphy, known for campy fun. But the humor rarely lands, and the characters are reduced to clichés instead of becoming real people. Every case feels like the same story on repeat: a wealthy woman wronged by a terrible man, followed by a revenge fantasy. Even when the show brings in interesting guest stars like Elizabeth Berkley or Jessica Simpson, their characters are treated with cruelty rather than compassion.
Allura’s personal life barely adds depth. Her marriage falls apart when her athlete husband walks out, but the emotional fallout is skimmed over. What matters more, apparently, is whether she can look incredible while smashing a car in a Beyoncé-style fantasy sequence.

The supporting cast includes heavy hitters like Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson as legal rivals, yet even they can’t elevate a script filled with exaggerated insults and cartoonish conflict. There’s a sense that the show expects viewers to cheer for feminism simply because the leads are wealthy women in heels — no nuance required.
All’s Fair has a great premise stuck in an early draft: a legal drama focused on divorce, power, and how relationships unravel. Instead, it rushes toward luxury-laced wish-fulfillment without earning it through character development or authentic emotion. For all the designer bags and dramatic entrances, the storytelling feels hollow — a sugar rush that fades fast.
The first three episodes of All’s Fair are streaming now on Hulu, with new episodes dropping weekly on Tuesdays.
