“All’s Fair” — Or Is It? I was genuinely excited for Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair — I mean, with a powerhouse trio like Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson, how could I not be? So, naturally, when it dropped today, I dove straight into the first three episodes… only to surface rather disappointed. Let’s start with the positives: Sarah Paulson. She carries this show on her back with the kind of grace and intensity that reminds you what acting should look like. She’s the heartbeat in an otherwise faltering body of work. Now for the not-so-fair part — Kim Kardashian. I wanted to root for her; I really did. It’s great that she’s crossed over into acting, but sadly, she’s brought the rest of the cast down to her level. Every line, every laugh, every flick of the hair — it’s pure Keeping Up With the Kardashians. There’s no transformation, no depth, no moment where you forget you’re watching Kim K play… Kim K. The script doesn’t help either. It’s surprisingly flat — more “GCSE creative writing assignment” than the sharp, layered storytelling we’ve come to expect from Ryan Murphy. It’s all a bit immature, especially from the man who gave us American Horror Story and Feud. Still, I’ll keep watching — partly out of loyalty to Murphy’s past brilliance, partly in the faint hope it might find its footing. Time will tell whether All’s Fair will redeem itself or remain a cautionary tale of style over substance. My Rating: 2.5/5 — All’s fairly disappointing.

Up until Episode 7, I was all in — loved the story and the characters. But after that, the AI plotline got way too over-the-top for my taste. It just didn’t feel believable anymore, which made it harder for me to stay invested.

I don’t have a lot to say other than Yawn 🥱 I got to Episode 2 and gave up

It ain’t Gladiator. And sometimes films should just stay a 1 box office hit and this one deffo is that!!

I love James Bond films but for me this was the weakest of them all, slow and boring and left me wondering why I watched it. I was so disappointed especially as it was Daniel Craig’s (one of my fave 007s) last stint as Bond I watched it with the expectation of more than what it brought. Best part for me was the title music by Billie Eilish and even then it felt like forever waiting for that to begin after the opening scene. Will I watch it again when it’s constantly on repeat at a Twixmas period for the next few years - can’t see that happening. But it has left me in my anticipation to who the new Bond will be cos from here the only way is up!
