Glenn Close has defended her “All’s Fair” co-star Kim Kardashian after the actress faced strong criticism for her performance in the legal drama.
Close discussed the series in a recent interview with The Guardian. She praised the show and said she had watched all nine episodes.
Close defends Kardashian
“All’s Fair” premiered on November 4 and quickly attracted mixed reactions from viewers and critics.
The series follows a successful divorce lawyer who leaves a male-dominated firm. She then joins her colleagues to build a new law firm.
The legal drama features a star-studded cast. Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close appear alongside Kardashian.
The show has received poor scores on several review platforms. IMDb gave it a 3/10 rating, while Rotten Tomatoes listed a 4% critics score.
Despite the criticism, Close has praised the series. She told The Guardian that she had watched all nine episodes and enjoyed the show.
Close also defended Kardashian’s work on the series. She said the reality star surrounded herself with talented people and a supportive team.
The veteran actor also praised Kardashian’s intelligence and discipline. At the time of filming, Kardashian was studying for her law degree while working on the show.
“She’s lovely. Very smart. Very conscientious with her kids,” Close said.
Close also noted that Kardashian used flashcards while studying for her law degree during production.
Her comments offer a different perspective on Kardashian’s performance. While critics have questioned her acting, Close believes the star brought commitment and preparation to the role.
Terrible reviews
“All’s Fair” has faced a wave of negative reviews since its release.
Some critics have criticised both the writing and performances. Others have questioned the show’s approach to feminism and its portrayal of wealthy characters.
Harper’s BAZAAR described the series harshly. The publication also criticised Kardashian’s facial expressions and delivery.
However, not every reaction has been completely negative. Some viewers have suggested that the show’s exaggerated style could make it entertaining in an unexpected way.
The series has also attracted attention for its unusual character names. Characters such as Allura Grant and Emerald Greene have become part of the discussion surrounding the show.
Director Anthony Hemingway has acknowledged that the series will not appeal to everyone.
“You’re not going to please everybody,” Hemingway told The Hollywood Reporter.
He also suggested that some viewers may struggle to connect with the show’s style or subject matter.
Meanwhile, Close’s defence has added another voice to the debate. Her support highlights the difference between critical opinion and the experience of those who worked on the production.
For now, “All’s Fair” continues to generate conversation. The strong reactions could also help keep the legal drama in the spotlight despite its poor review scores.
