Glenn Close fires back at scathing reviews of her series 'All's Fair', countering that the show may be flawed but still has its merits.
The actress, who stars in Ryan Murphy's legal drama alongside Kim Kardashian, acknowledged that the first three episodes were "weakeness" that set a poor tone for the rest of the series. However, Close maintains that it ultimately adds up to something more cohesive when viewed in its entirety. When asked about her experience working with Kardashian, Close praised the reality TV star's professionalism, stating that she was always prepared and had no pretensions to be a great actress.
Close also believes that the negative backlash towards 'All's Fair' is partly due to the show's association with the Kardashians. While many fans of the family may have been deterred by their involvement in the series, Close thinks this reputation may be overstated. "The Kardashians would say this themselves, but not everybody likes them," she noted.
Close has spoken highly of the show before, even defending its writing against criticism. However, it seems her opinion on 'All's Fair' has shifted since the negative reviews began pouring in. Still, Close remains optimistic about the series' potential, calling it "juicy and outrageous at times and touching". Despite receiving a 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, she believes that with time and further viewing, the show will be reevaluated by critics.
In a surprise twist, Close also expressed her appreciation for Kardashian's willingness to learn from others on set. The actress noted that Kardashian was "smart enough to have people around her who she could learn from" – a sentiment that suggests a more collaborative dynamic between the two leads than previously thought.

... but like, 30 mins in and it gets way better 
? Glenn Close is low-key killing her role 
, especially when she goes up against Kim K 
. didn't expect the show to be so juicy and outrageous at times, but I guess that's what makes it watchable

I think Glenda Close is being pretty fair in saying that 'All's Fair' has its moments, even if it didn't start off great. I mean, who doesn't love a juicy drama? And let's be real, having Kim Kardashian on board can make a show stand out 
. Still, it's good to see her praising Kourtney's professionalism - that's all we need more of in this industry 
like, yeah the first few eps were meh but trust me the whole series gets better 
seriously though, i think the backlash against 'alls fair' is way overblown. everyone's just mad because it's a show with kardashians on it, you know? but glenn close is right, not everyone loves them and that rep shouldn't define the whole thing 
anyway, i'm all for giving shows more time to breathe, especially when they're as juicy and outrageous as 'alls fair' 
. I mean, who hasn't had a TV show that didn't quite hit the mark at first? But what really caught my attention was her defense of Kim Kardashian - I didn't know they were on the same page about this 
. It's cool to see Close giving credit where credit is due and showing appreciation for Kardashian's willingness to learn and grow as an actress 
. Still, a 3% Rotten Tomatoes rating is pretty low... but hey, maybe time will be kind to 'All's Fair' 
.
like, she's totally owning those haters and showing them what's up 
. i mean, yeah, the first few eps might've been a bit weak (imo), but who doesn't love a good redemption story? 
. and can we talk about kim kardashian for a sec?

But what really got me was when she said that the show might be flawed, but still has its merits. That's like, so true for life, you know? Nothing's perfect, but sometimes it's the imperfections that make something special.
It's not always easy to admit when we don't know something, and it takes courage to ask for help. I think this is actually kind of a testament to the show's success – it brings together people from different worlds and makes them work together.

. The thing that really gets me though is how people are acting like Kardashian's involvement is a deal-breaker or something 
. Still, I guess it's all about perspective, and if you can stomach some reality TV drama with your law lessons 
. At this point, a 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes doesn't scare me
