Picture this: Selling Sunset’s unforgettable office attire, Scandal’s illicit affairs, and Suits' slight, abstract portrayal of a law firm.
Now combine all of that, and you’d probably get All’s Fair.
One thing is for sure... the latest Ryan Murphy series is all of that and more.
You know the kind of show that makes you reconsider your career because you want to do exactly what the main character you’re watching is doing? That’s what you’ll take from this.

Post-Glee, Murphy’s shows can be fairly hit and miss. Monsters, for example, occasionally hit and sometimes definitely miss. But this feels a lot different from the normal gore-filled stuff he’s done in the past.
Taking a stab at the legal world, Murphy’s latest drama with a powerful, all-female cast will leave you pleasantly surprised and equally hooked. The trailer has already become the most-watched of all time on Hulu, partially by those who were intrigued by Kim Kardashian’s leading role.
You can watch it here:
Set in Los Angeles, the show follows an all-female law firm, featuring a powerhouse of actresses: alongside Kardashian, there's Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and the original bunny boiler, Glenn Close.
I mean, I’m already seated.
Critics have already bombarded the trailer with concerns about Kardashian's performance, sceptical of her transition onto the screen, but I’m all here for it.
And if you’ve watched season seven of The Kardashians, you can’t deny that she hasn’t worked hard.
She oozes glamour as soon as she graces the screen, and she’s definitely serving more than divorce papers.
One question I definitely have is, does she use her own personal wardrobe?
The Monsters creator clearly took a shine to her after her stint on American Horror Story: Delicate, and subsequently decided to create a whole series based around her.
When chatting to People, the reality TV star revealed that when Murphy initially approached her with the idea, she turned it down: "I was just like, ‘No, I don’t think that’s something that I’d be into'.
“I think he was really shocked by that."
You can definitely see how Kardashian has influenced the show, especially since she’s also producing it. And surprisingly, it’s worked well.
Her character, Allura Grant, is enjoyable, and I’m excited for what’s to come for her and how Murphy plans to develop her leading role.
The standout, however, was certainly Niecy Nash, who plays Emerald Greene.
Now, this isn’t the first time Nash has worked with Ryan Murphy either, as you may remember her for her iconic role in the comedy-horror Scream Queen.
Once again, she provides funny one-liners that will have you laughing out loud, while the dynamic with both Watts and Kardashian is also perfect - the trio will have you calling your best friends up for a bottle of red and a catch-up.
Kardashian, too, surprisingly brings an element of humour, something I wasn’t expecting but look forward to seeing more of.
The show definitely brings comedy and some situations that are low-key kind of relatable.
Like, okay, I’m not trying to cash out from my divorce to my millionaire husband, but I think there are elements and even monologues that might hit a bit close to home.
The show embodies female empowerment, and God help any man who crosses these women.
The deliciously addictive first episode will leave you wanting more and more. You definitely won’t be scrolling through TikTok to pass the time, that’s for sure.
And we have to give Murphy his flowers - this time.
All’s Fair premieres 4 November 2025 on Disney+, when the first three episodes will launch before new episodes stream weekly.
