Why Kim Kardashian came back to 'the worst TV drama ever'

It was meant to be Kim Kardashian's triumphant debut as a leading actor - but last year's legal drama All's Fair was so universally panned by critics that it actually broke streaming records as audiences clambered to see what all the fuss was about.

Kardashian, who is best known as a media personality and businesswoman, tells the BBC she had no choice but to "lean into" the discourse and come back for a second series.

"We thought we were this law show, dealing with some really serious issues," she jokes.

But viewers mostly enjoyed its comedy value - with outlandish outfits and zingy one-liners from co-stars Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close sending the show straight into the pantheon of 'camp classics'.

"We're a full comedy now," the 46-year-old admits, adding: "The beauty in producing a show with writers that are really tuned in to pop culture is they can see what the response is and write accordingly to that."

All's Fair, which was created by American Horror Story and Glee showrunner Ryan Murphy, became the Hulu network's most-watched scripted series debut of the last three years and was immediately renewed.

Following a group of divorce lawyers - played by Kardashian, Close, Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts - the show was panned for bad acting, with Kardashian baring the brunt of criticism.

The Hollywood Reporter called her "wooden", and the Times declared that the show "may be the worst TV drama ever".
