All’s Fair season two review – am I delirious … or is this getting good?

From Glenn Close in pleather to naughty rumours about Bruno Mars, this legal drama is still absolutely ludicrous. But squint hard enough and it has slightly improved since its zero-star debut

On the one hand, Trump and the Maga movement have been routed in the midterms. On the other, the second season of All’s Fair is out. Truly, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.

For those of you who have blanked the first season from your mind, All’s Fair is the existentially terrible offering from Ryan Murphy’s increasingly manure-filled stable, starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and, absolutely unaccountably, Glenn Close as the super-duper lawyers of an all-female California divorce firm. Sarah Paulson plays their bananas enemy lawyer, Carrington Lane.
