All's Fair Season 2 Premiere Set for Rome Festival, Critics Unimpressed

Sarah Paulson's legal drama will screen early at the Rome Film Festival, but its first season got a record-low 6% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Screen Rant reports that "All's Fair" season 2 will get an early screening at the Rome Film Festival on October 24, ahead of its November premiere on Hulu. Stars Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Naomi Watts are set to attend the event at the Auditorium Parco della Musica.

But there's a catch. The first season holds a shockingly low 6% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a new record low for creator Ryan Murphy. Critics have called the show a train wreck, dull, and not even camp enough to enjoy. Audience scores are higher at 65%, indicating mixed reactions.

The series follows a group of female divorce attorneys who leave a male-centric firm to start their own, handling high-stakes divorces full of secrets and shifting loyalties. Season 2 will bring scandals, secrets, and a major revelation that could put the firm in jeopardy.

For parents: This is an adult legal drama with themes of divorce, emotional warfare, and personal turmoil. Not one for family movie night. The first season was only five episodes, so if you're curious despite the reviews, it's a quick commitment.

Many cast members have worked with Murphy before, including Paulson on multiple "American Horror Story" seasons, Nash-Betts on "Monster," and Watts on "Feud." Fans of Murphy's earlier work may want to wait for audience reactions before diving in.
