All's Fair has become "Hulu's biggest scripted series debut" in years despite receiving a shockingly low score of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Totalling 3.2 million views globally in just three days, Ryan Murphy's latest drama has pulled in the highest ratings for a scripted show on the streamer in three years.
Starring Kim Kardashian in the lead role, the brand new series follows the reality TV star as a lawyer named Allura Grant as she helms LA law firm Grant Ronson Greene & Associates along with Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts) and Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts).
Specialising in divorce law for women, their firm regularly clashes with their long-time rival Carrington Lane, played by Murphy favourite Sarah Paulson. Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, Glenn Close and Ed O'Neill also star.
The logline reads: "At an elite divorce firm in LA, betrayal and billion-dollar breakups are all in a day's work."
Per The Wrap, All's Fair became one of Hulu's biggest scripted debuts following its premiere on 4 November despite its poor reception from critics.

The show, which was called "so awful, it feels almost contemptuous" by The Guardian, debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a 0% rating from critics.
That number has since gone up and, as of writing, the show has a rating of 4% from 25 reviews, with critics calling it "unwatchable".
"It's not a hate-watch; this is unwatchable," wrote The Nightly, while USA Today said: "It's so stilted, artificial and awkward not even a glass of wine and leftover Halloween candy can make it remotely enjoyable to view."
"Watching this bafflingly dreadful legal slop makes you wonder if the prolific showrunner has developed a new ability to drain talented actors of every drop of charisma they once possessed," penned The Financial Times.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Kardashian’s performance, stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, is exactly what the writing, also stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, merits."
In the only positive review so far, Decider said of the show: "All’s Fair is over the top and campy as hell, but it also knows it’s both of these things, which is why the show and the cases the firm deals with are going to be fun to watch."
Kardashian herself has jumped on the show's negative response from critics, turning their reviews into a hilarious marketing campaign.
Sharing some photos from the premiere along with a number of negative reviews, she cheekily captioned a post on Instagram: "Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!? All’s Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus."
All's Fair is available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu.
