Article

Kim Kardashian has committed to a second season of All's Fair, the legal drama that became Hulu's most-watched scripted debut in three years despite widespread criticism from reviewers. Critics faulted the show's acting and framed it as poorly executed drama, yet audiences tuned in with apparent curiosity about its reception. Rather than abandon the project, Kardashian acknowledged the gap between the show's intended tone and its actual reception, revealing that the production team has adapted accordingly for the coming season.
