Critics Call Kim Kardashian’s ‘All’s Fair’ Season 2 the Worst Show Ever

Critics have delivered a devastating verdict on Season 2 of 'All's Fair,' the Ryan Murphy-created series starring Kim Kardashian.

The show returned to Hulu on Wednesday, November 4, with its first three episodes.

Reviewers wasted little time unloading their harshest assessments.

The Telegraph branded the series 'unspeakably atrocious.'

It went further, calling it the 'worst TV series of the 21st century.'

Ready Steady Cut was nearly as blunt.

'Even when graded on the Ryan Murphy curve, All's Fair was an impressively terrible series of television when it first debuted, and it remains so in Season 2,' the outlet wrote.

Not every critic was entirely dismissive.

The Guardian's Lucy Mangan suggested the show had made a modest improvement since its debut.

'Squint hard enough and it has slightly improved since its zero-star debut,' she wrote.

Mangan added that at some point, 'you realise that you are having fun, instead of, like last time, holding your jaw off the ground and wondering how television could be this bad.'

She noted the drama had started moving into 'so bad it's good' territory.

The series follows a group of female divorce lawyers.

Its ensemble cast includes Kardashian, 46, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts.

Despite the critical drubbing, the show has a massive audience.

'All's Fair' became Hulu's most-watched scripted series debut in three years following its first-season premiere.

That success earned it a swift renewal for Season 2.

Kardashian has made it clear she is not losing sleep over what critics think.

'I think history has proven that controversy can create success,' she told Variety at the 'All's Fair' Season 2 premiere on Monday, November 2.

'But I think it just shows that you could make something just for the watchers and for the fans to enjoy themselves,' she said.

'It doesn't have to be critically acclaimed.'

Paulson, 51, echoed that sentiment.

'Not everything has to be an opportunity for some awards celebration,' she said.

Kardashian has poked fun at the show's reputation from the very beginning.

In November 2025, she promoted the first season on Instagram.

She sarcastically wrote amid criticism: 'Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?

All's Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus.'

The gap between critical reception and audience numbers is striking.

Ryan Murphy has built a career on polarizing television.

His shows often attract fierce criticism alongside loyal fan bases.

'All's Fair' appears to be following that pattern.

The show's second season is still unfolding.

New episodes drop weekly on Hulu.

Whether the audience will stay as large as Season 1 remains to be seen.

But if Kardashian's track record is any guide, the controversy may only fuel more viewership.

Meanwhile, family drama continues to swirl around Kardashian.

A preview of 'The Kardashians' shows Kris Jenner confronting Kim over a tell-all book.

The book, 'Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future,' arrived in October.

Author Jonathan Van Meter spent years interviewing Kim's relatives and loved ones.

In a preview for the November 12 episode of 'The Kardashians,' Kim begins discussing the project.

'The one thing I find so interesting in the book …' she starts.

Kourtney Kardashian interrupts, asking 'what book' she means.

Kim explains that the author interviewed their family for six years.

'For the last six years, this guy has been interviewing everyone in our family,' she says.

Kris immediately responds with visible frustration.

'Somebody else to analyze us.

Perfect,' the momager remarks.

Her frustration becomes clearer during another moment in the preview.

'You have just given our rights to our lives away to some stranger,' she tells Kim.

Kris then walks away from the conversation, declaring, 'I gotta go.'

The disagreement highlights growing family drama surrounding Kim's literary project.
