ALL’S FAIR SERIES REVIEW
RIta Rudner once said “Marriages don’t last. When I meet a guy, the first question I ask myself is: is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?”. Hulu presents a show about a law firm of ladies helping women turn those I Do’s into I don’t ever wanna see your punk ass again! All’s Fair tells the story of five women who have the swagger of boss bitches and the looks of smoldering evil stepmothers. Dina Standish (Glenn Close) is the head of the firm, taking names and taking cases while taking down opposing divorce firms. Allura Grant (Kim Kardashian) is the youngest of the group and going through a divorce of her own from NFL star Chase Munroe (Matthew Noszka). Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash-Betts) provides a lot of the exposition regarding ongoing and current clientele. She’s looking for romance and sidestepping long term relationships while raising a family her own way. Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts) is planning divorces while also planning her own wedding, what a conflict. Then there’s Carrington Lane (Sarah Paulson) who used to be very close with Dina but Carrington’s cut throat, no prisoners, bleed them dry, tactics got her thrown out of the firm and sisterhood. Now Carrington is out for revenge and will enact such pettiness the only way a mean girl knows how: gossip and slander. Bradly, Frank, and Eoin discuss the shallows, the deep, and all the trashy smut of an already renewed for season 2 lawyer drama.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
