Kim Kardashian's New Show Flops With 0% Rating – Critics Call It TV's Worst

Kim Kardashian just got a brutal reality check. Kardashian turned her attention from reality stardom to scripted drama, fans and critics alike anticipated something big and beautiful. The new series All's Fair, produced by industry heavyweight Ryan Murphy, promised an all female powerhouse legal team in Los Angeles. But rather than a triumphant debut for Kardashian and the The Kardashians alumna, All's Fair has landed with a massive thud, earning shockingly bad reviews and a scathing low score that few shows achieve.

Critics Slam Kim Kardashian's Show

Kim Kardashian's move from reality TV and business ventures into starring in All's Fair carried strong headline appeal: a major star taking on a serious narrative role in a high-profile legal drama. The premise had the kind of built in hype marketers dream about, in this case, an elite, women led law firm in Los Angeles, Kardashian as divorce lawyer Allura Grant, with a cast that included heavyweights like Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash‑Betts.

Yet when the show debuted on 4 November 2025, the reviews were immediate and brutal. According to sources, Rotten Tomatoes, the critics' score sat at an astonishing 0% based on early reviews. Major outlets described the show as 'brain-dead', 'a crime against television', and in one case 'the worst TV show of the year'. This is probably brutal for Kardashian whose brand is built on earning headlines and converting attention into business ventures as this kind of critical heat is hardly the kind of showcase she, or her audience, were expecting.

What Went Wrong with Kim's 'All's Fair'

So what exactly triggered this backlash? Many reviewers point to an uncanny combination of high gloss aesthetics and low impact storytelling. All's Fair clearly has the production values, which means it has sleek visuals, designer wardrobes, and strong promotional hype. But across multiple critiques, that polish is criticized as masking a hollow core.

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that Kardashian's performance was 'stiff and affectless without a single authentic note' and that the writing felt equally lifeless. Another reviewer called the show a 'tacky and revolting monument to greed, vanity and avarice' which is a harsher verdict than its creators probably predicted.

The Guardian issued a zero star review which is a very rare occurrence that the publication reserves for material it deems completely devoid of merit. Moreover, critics seemingly also took aim at the show's purported feminist premise as though billed as a dramedy showcasing powerful women lawyers, many felt the characters lacked depth, the plotlines were clichéd, and the emotional stakes felt contrived. But perhaps its Emily Maddock of Glamour's review that sums all the criticism Kim's All's Fair received,

'In All's Fair, what should be camp feels flat, and what is trying to be outrageous and fun actually feels hollow and empty. The lifestyles of our heroines – the divorce attorneys Allura, Liberty Ronson and Emerald Greene – are splurged all over the screen in those slo-mo, drawn-out, amped up shots that have become the trademark of all such reality shows from The Kardashians to Selling Sunset through to any of The Real Housewives franchises.'

Conclusively, the show appears to have traded character development and story coherence for glossy packaging, celebrity firepower, and trend savvy visuals. In the case of All's Fair, critics say that trade off was not worth it.

How Will Kim Be Affected?

It seems like for Kardashian, this misstep is massive because it comes at an important moment in her evolution from reality star and mogul to, at least theoretically, a serious television actor and producer. Furthermore, while her previous unscripted efforts such as The Kardashians have dominated cultural conversations and streaming charts, her entry into scripted drama is more fraught.

Moreover this is a big warning for the TV industry, All's Fair serves as a reminder that star power and social media hype, while useful, cannot fully compensate for writing and storytelling weaknesses.

Finally, it shows the cold truth about viewer expectations because with so many premium series available, audiences and critics alike are less tolerant of big budget productions that feel superficial or brand driven. Even for a name as big as Kardashian's, momentum can't guarantee quality or critical reception.
