Kim Kardashian’s life has long been a spectacle—a carefully curated blend of glamour, controversy, and reality TV theatrics. But her latest venture, All’s Fair, a documentary series chronicling her tumultuous divorce from Kanye West, plunges viewers into a vortex of existential dread, narcissistic indulgence, and bizarrely compelling train-wreck television.
The show, streaming on a major platform (because where else would it be?), is marketed as a raw, unfiltered look at Kim’s journey through one of the messiest celebrity splits in recent memory. Instead, it’s a masterclass in self-aggrandizement, with Kardashian positioning herself as both the victim and the hero of her own never-ending drama.
The Good (If You Can Call It That)
Let’s give credit where it’s due: All’s Fair is fascinating. Like watching a car crash in slow motion, you can’t look away. The series dives deep into the legal battles, public spats, and emotional toll of Kim and Kanye’s separation, complete with tearful confessionals (though whether those tears are real or producer-prompted remains debatable).
There’s a perverse thrill in seeing Kim, a woman who built an empire on oversharing, now grappling with the consequences of her own hyper-exposure. The documentary doesn’t shy away from Kanye’s erratic behavior—his Twitter rants, bizarre public appearances, and relentless attacks on Kim’s parenting. At times, it’s hard to tell if this is a divorce exposé or a psychological horror film.
The Bad (Oh, There’s Plenty)
Where All’s Fair falters is in its delusional self-importance. Kim frames her divorce as an epic battle for survival, complete with dramatic slow-motion shots of her staring pensively into the distance. The problem? Most viewers see this as just another chapter in the Kardashian-West saga—a saga that long ago jumped the shark.
The series also suffers from a glaring lack of self-awareness. Kim portrays herself as a put-upon single mother “just trying to co-parent,” yet the show is filled with scenes of her jet-setting, attending high-fashion events, and filming The Kardashians—hardly the life of someone burdened. Meanwhile, Kanye’s perspective is largely absent, reducing him to a one-dimensional villain.
The Existentially Terrible
The most unsettling part of All’s Fair isn’t the drama—it’s the sheer emptiness at its core. This is a show about two ultra-wealthy celebrities dissecting their personal lives for public consumption, all while pretending they’re doing it for some greater purpose. Kim insists she wants to “inspire” women going through divorce, but the only thing she’s really inspiring is existential fatigue.
What does it say about our culture that we’re still obsessed with this family’s every move? All’s Fair holds up a mirror to our voyeuristic sickness, forcing us to confront why we care in the first place.
Verdict: Train-Wreck TV at Its Finest
If you want deep insight or emotional catharsis, All’s Fair isn’t it. But if you crave a front-row seat to the most bizarre, self-indulgent celebrity meltdown of the decade, grab your popcorn—just don’t be surprised if you feel emptier afterward.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5 – Fascinatingly terrible, but terrible nonetheless)
