Summary

- Close urges viewers to watch the full season for a complete picture.
Hulu's new legal drama "All's Fair" has faced a wave of negative reviews, with critics deeming it dull and clumsy. However, lead actress Glenn Close is speaking out, acknowledging that the show's initial three-episode premiere, which dropped on November 4, might have been its weakest point. She suggested that the early episodes presented a challenging start for the series.
Close, a celebrated actress with multiple Emmy wins, encouraged skeptics to continue watching the new episodes that are released weekly until the season finale on December 23. She revealed she has seen all nine episodes and believes the series ultimately offers a substantial narrative. Her experience on the show was her first with producer Ryan Murphy, a new territory for her.
The actress admitted to being intimidated by the production and initially struggled to grasp Murphy's distinctive tone. "All's Fair" also features a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Sarah Paulson. Despite her initial reservations, Close's defense suggests a belief in the series' overall merit, urging patience from both critics and audiences.
