The Huffington Post said the show was “torn apart” by critics, with some giving it zero out of five. Its writer Daniel Welsh said, external: “The glossy sheen of the show and its stacked cast might make you think it’s verging on ‘so bad it’s good’ territory, but it’s really just a boring dud.”
Other critics include Alison Herman, writing in Variety, external that it is a “clumsy, condescending take on rah-rah girlboss feminism”, while the Hollywood Reporter’s Angie Han, external called Kardashian an “appropriately wooden lead for Ryan Murphy’s empty, unforgivably dull drama”.
But undeterred, the reality star and businesswoman shared fan reactions including one who said they “immediately pressed play” after seeing a post saying the show had debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a paltry 0%.
She also included a BBC News Instagram post quoting the Daily Telegraph’s Ed Power, who wrote: “Ryan Murphy is the high priest of tacky tasteless television, and this year he has outdone himself.”
Another fan said: “Some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in my life alongside the most predictable storylines and the most ridulous styling. I’m obsessed. I need 14 seasons.”
Kardashian ended her post with what is arguably the last laugh.
She shared a screenshot from Disney Hulu, stating that the show is curently the most watched title on Disney+ around the world, ranking first in 28 countries including the US.
