Media personality and businesswoman Kim Kardashian is leaning into public criticism as her legal drama All's Fair returns for a second season is fully pivoting from serious drama to campy comedy following harsh initial reviews.
Created by Ryan Murphy the Hulu series follows a high-powered group of female divorce lawyers played by Kardashian, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts. Upon its release the critics panned the show's writing and performances with The Times calling it "the worst TV drama ever." However, negative reviews drove massive viewership also turning the show into Hulu's most-watched scripted debut in three years.
Rather than stepping back the 46-year-old star and co-producer chose to embrace the reaction. Kardashian noted that the show's writers adapted to public feedback by doubling down on high fashion, heightened drama and comedic satire. Co-star Naomi Watts praised Kardashian's growth in season two with highlighting her improved performance and comedic improvisation.
Beyond acting, Kardashian addressed her ongoing real-world legal studies. Following six years of an alternative legal apprenticeship she confirmed she did not pass her recent bar exam and faced scrutiny over her past use of AI for legal advice. However she emphasized that she has not given up on becoming a lawyer and plans to share her progress once she officially passes.
Season two of All's Fair aims to balance its camp style with a positive portrayal of successful also fashion-conscious professional women.
