Kim Kardashian expressed her worries about the reception of All’s Fair ahead of its debut.
During the latest installment of Hulu’s The Kardashians, titled “Tragedy in Reality TV,” viewers join Kardashian on her final day of filming for Ryan Murphy’s scripted series All’s Fair. In the show, she shares the screen with notable actors like Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Teyana Taylor.
While in her trailer, Kardashian reflects on the uncertainty of the show’s success.
“The thing with these shows is there’s no guarantee they’ll become hits. You pour your heart, soul, and time into something, and if it doesn’t resonate, what was it all for?” she questioned. “Life requires taking risks to achieve success, and I’ve taken all the risks. I’ve made it.”
Kardashian’s apprehensions were realized earlier this month when All’s Fair debuted to a dismal 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, receiving harsh criticism from most reviewers—though Decider stood out by recommending viewers to STREAM IT.
However, Kardashian seemingly took the negative reviews with a grain of salt. In a recent Instagram post, the reality star posted a slideshow of positive reviews from fans—including a screenshot of the 0% rating—with the caption, “Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?”
According to Kardashian, there is more “pressure” in doing a scripted show than reality TV.
“There’s definitely a judging meter on, ‘You can act,’ or, ‘You are a bad actress,’” she says on The Kardashians. “Being on reality show, you’re just living your life the only way you know how. There’s not a meter of, like, [whether you’re] living a reality TV life well or not well.”
However, she noted, “To get people to like a character is probably easier than getting people to like you for who you are. You’re so excited that your life is finally together and calm, but the viewer’s pissed because it’s finally together and calm.”
New episodes of The Kardashians drop on Thursdays on Hulu.
