Kim Kardashian and Naomi Watts in All's Fair

By now, you’ve probably seen all the absolutely terrible reviews of Ryan Murphy’s new Disney series All’s Fair. Critics have excoriated the series, calling it a “clumsy, condescending girlboss fantasia”, “empty and unforgivably dull” and “fascinatingly, existentially terrible”. It initially received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (though this has since risen ever so slightly).

But you should ignore these headlines and watch the show anyway. All’s Fair is must-see TV.

The legal drama has a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.

Here’s the overall gist of the show: Allura Grant and Liberty Ronson (played by Kim and Naomi) leave a stodgy, male-dominated law firm to start their own firm, “Women representing women, only” as Liberty calls it. They get the blessing to leave the firm from their mentor Dina Standish (Glenn Close’s character) who lets them take one person with them, and that ends up being Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts). That pisses off Carrington “Carr” Lane (Sarah Paulson), another lawyer at the firm, who has a dramatic crash out for not getting Dina’s approval to leave first. A decade later, Carr is still pissed and promises to rain hell on the ladies any chance she can get.

In the first three episodes of the series, Allura, Liberty and Emerald take on new divorce cases. There are a bunch of incredible special guests in each episode, including Judith Light, Jessica Simpson and Elizabeth Berkley, who serve as their clients. Meanwhile, there’s drama afoot in Allura’s personal life: Chase (Matthew Noszka), her football-playing husband of five years, wants a divorce and has been cheating on her several times over.

I can see why critics........
