“I swear to God I’ve seen all nine episodes and it’s really good,” said the iconic actress, 78. the guardian in an interview published on Saturday, November 15. “It is what it is: it’s juicy and outrageous at times and poignant.”
Close also gushed about her co-star Kardashian, 45, whom she described as “lovely” and “very smart.”
“(Kardashian is) very, very conscientious about her children,” he said fatal attraction the star said to the outlet. “When we were filming she was working on her law degree, and almost at the end she would have flashcards. Now she has her law degree and I asked her, ‘Are you going to practice?’ And she said, ‘No, I just want it in my back pocket.'”

Everything is fairthe latest Hulu series created by Ryan Murphy and with Kardashian, Close, Necy Nash, Naomi Watts i Sarah Paulsonreleased its first three episodes on November 4. The Guardian’s Television critic Lucy Mangan he immediately scoffed the show as a whole, giving it a rare zero-star review while writing that she “didn’t know it was still possible to make television this bad”.
“I assumed there was some sort of baseline, an inescapable basic know-how that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong,” Mangan continued in his review, published on November 4. “Ryan Murphy’s new series, Everything is fair – starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash as the founders of an all-female law firm that provides divorce justice to incredibly wealthy but somewhat down-on-their-luck women under the blue skies of California – is terrible. Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.”
The show was also criticized The Times’ assistant television editor Ben Dowellwho described it as possibly “the worst TV drama ever”.

It thinks it’s a feminist fable about energetic lawyers who turn their backs on cruel rich men, but it’s actually a cheesy, sickening monument to the very greed, vanity, and avarice it supposedly targets. All written, it seems, by a little boy who couldn’t write ‘boom’ on a wall.”
Dowell added of Kardashian: “Is Kardashian (who, we’re told, planning to take the bar exams) make a compelling lawyer? No, she doesn’t. She acts like Genghis Khan for a peaceful liberal democracy, though of course the dialogue, a tsunami of clamorous cliche that drowns out this entire enterprise in the first five minutes, helps.”
Everything is fair is about a team of divorce lawyers who have their own practice in Los Angeles.
“Brave, brilliant and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets and shifting loyalties, both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. In a world where money talks and love is a battlefield, these women don’t just play the game, they change it,” reads the synopsis.
