All’s Fair Director Defends Kim Kardashian Drama Amid Bad Reviews

The jury wasn’t kind Kim Kardashiannew legal drama, Everything is fairbut according to the show’s director and executive producer, fans should give it a chance before making their decision.

Anthony Hemingwaywho directed four episodes of the Hulu series and serves as an executive producer alongside it Ryan MurphyAnd Kardashian and Kris JennerHe was the first member of Everything is fair Cast or creative team to respond to extremely negative reviews of the series in an interview with Hollywood Reporter On Wednesday, November 5th.

The GuardianFor example, she gave the series – which premiered its first three episodes on Tuesday, November 4 – zero stars, calling it “stunningly brilliant and existential”, while Times of London He said Everything is fair “It may be the worst TV drama ever.”

“You’re not going to please everyone,” Hemingway said. Hollywood Reporter “You might have some criticism, while there’s a million others who love it. I think the show holds a mirror up to everyone who watches it. It’s just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it and see yourself? It might be outside of your interest, it might not be anything you can connect to, and I think that applies to anything that’s put on screen.”

Hemingway added: “It’s entertainment, it’s comedy, and it’s about finding ways to tap into real conversations and real human dynamics in a different way. Every time you encounter any kind of difference, it takes a minute to either get a taste for it or not.”

“It may not be for you, and that’s okay, but I personally enjoy the show,” Hemingway continued. “I had a lot of fun with the subject matter in my own way. Not everything is for everyone, and you also can’t expect one person to define something and have that be the totality of it – I don’t agree with that.”

With that in mind, Hemingway urged viewers to give the show some time to prove itself. Following Tuesday’s premiere, six more episodes are scheduled to premiere weekly on Hulu through December, with the two-part finale premiering on December 9.

“I also think things can take a while sometimes,” he said. “I did The wire. No one liked the show when it came out. They hated it. They didn’t watch it. Two people watched it every week. But she reached a point where she found her moment. I’m not comparing the show to The wire – Let’s get this straight – but it’s an example of how people react to something in one moment, and it becomes something completely different in another.

Hemingway concluded, “The show only takes a minute to get going, but I feel it’s something absolutely amazing, refreshing, and creatively satisfying.”

Everything is fair The film follows an all-female law firm led by Kardashian’s high-profile divorce attorney, Alura Grant, who finds herself navigating her own divorce. Cast includes Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Nessie Nash Bites and Teyana Taylor.

Despite the huge hype stardom, Everything is fair It failed to impress television critics. It is rated just 6% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes as of Thursday, November 6.

In its review, Hollywood Reporter‘s Angie Han She described Kardashian’s actions as “cruel and ineffective without a single authentic note.” USA Today‘s Kelly Lawler He called it “painfully terrible in so many ways.”
