- All’s Fair stars Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and Glenn Close as lawyers at an all-female California divorce firm, with Sarah Paulson as rival attorney Carrington Lane.
- Allura has moved home since her marriage to Chase ended and sees a hooded male figure outside her all-glass house while brushing her teeth; Dina warns the lawyers that “vengeance is a savage game.”
- Allura buys at auction the velvet-and-silk, diamante-scorpion cape associated with Grace Kelly’s 40th-birthday celebration and hires Adele and Bruno Mars to perform at her ball.
- Aphrodite Lovesong hires Liberty and Emerald after her husband served divorce papers a month before becoming liable for perpetual alimony; the case also involves nearly 10 years of affairs with cover girls, an unsigned prenup and an invisible-ink twist.
- Carrington Lane admits she planted the dementia drug but denies framing Dina for murder as the two lawyers square off in a recap of their rivalry.
- All’s Fair receives a full one star from the reviewer, who says season two has become fun and moved into “so bad it’s good” territory after the first run’s baffling quality.
- All’s Fair season two gives little apparent attention to first-season continuity, so the reviewer skips a plot recap and focuses on the installment’s new absurdities.
Why it matters: For Disney+ viewers, the practical change is that the reviewer now awards season two a full one star, replacing the first run’s “existentially terrible” characterization with enjoyment. The legal ensemble around Glenn Close keeps its deliberate excess while adding the comic engine the reviewer says made it fun.
