Kim Kardashian’s new TV show is being called ‘Crime Against Television’ by critics

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter writes that “Kardashian’s performance, stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, is exactly what the writing, also stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, deserves”, while Guardian reviewer Lucy Mangen opened her review with the musing “I didn’t know it was still possible to make television this bad… But I was wrong. Everything is fair is terrible. Fascinating, incomprehensible, existentially terrible.”

RadarOnline.com revealed the reaction to Kardashian’s acting in the drama on Tuesday.

The reality star, 45, plays divorce lawyer Allura Grant in the Ryan Murphy series, which follows a team of female lawyers who leave a male-dominated firm to open their own high-powered practice.

She stars alongside a star-studded cast including Naomi Watts, 57, Glenn Close78, Sarah Paulson, 50, and Niecy Nash, 55.

And many viewers wondered why Murphy felt the need to cast her, given the talent already on offer.
