All’s Fair star Glenn Close has hit back at the show’s “tough” reviews, following its disappointing debut. The legal drama landed a shocking 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> earlier this month, despite pulling in 3.2 million global views<\/a> in three days on Hulu. <\/p>\n

Though the score has since risen to 3% from 30 reviews, All’s Fair still faces widespread criticism online, with The Nightly<\/a> declaring it “unwatchable”. However, Close has urged viewers to stick with the series, assuring them that the storyline does get better.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Variety<\/a>, the actor addressed the harsh reviews, claiming that critics had judged the show too quickly. <\/p>\n

“I personally think that the first three episodes were the weakest. That was a tough way to start,” she said. “I’ve seen all nine episodes, and I think it actually adds up to something.” <\/p>\n

All’s Fair stars Kim Kardashian as lawyer Allura Grant, who runs a successful LA law firm alongside her colleagues Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts) and Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts). The all-female firm – Grant Ronson Greene & Associates – specialises in helping women navigate challenging divorces as they face off against their powerful husbands. <\/p>\n

As well as dealing with difficult men, the leads regularly lock horns with their long-time rival Carrington Lane (Sarah Paulson). With Carrington knowing exactly how to get under her skin, how will Allura cope with her most personal divorce to date? <\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, Close<\/a> praised reality star Kim for her professionalism and work ethic while filming the show. “What surprised me was Kim’s seriousness of intent,” she said. <\/p>\n

“She always knew her lines. She never was late. She always was prepared. She had no pretensions that she was a great actress, but she was smart enough to have people around her who she could learn from.<\/p>\n

“If she was a big ego or what I call a ‘life-is-too-short person,’ I would have been unhappy, but she’s not,” Close added.<\/p>\n

The actor went on to suggest that Kim’s reputation as a reality star likely contributed to the show’s poor critical reception. She explained: “The Kardashians would say this themselves, but not everybody likes them. They have an image.”<\/p>\n

All’s Fair is available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu. <\/p>\n
