Kim K is getting rave reviews from critics!

She probably bribed the critics.

Horseshit.

She is an American Horror Story herself. They could make a whole season about her plumbing new depths of depravity to get clicks. Vile creature.

Sure, TMZ, sure.

[quote]Kim comes out swinging right out of the gate with her opening line, "Tell them to suck my c***." From there, she holds a steady and seemingly natural performance throughout the episode ... leaving fans excited for what more is to come this season.

Those "raves" are from fans.

TMZ's article is straight from her PR team, was in the making from the moment she officially got cast.

Fuck Ryan Murphy and his stunt casting

I agree with R7. Kris Jenner is most likely the only woman Harvey Levin has ever been in bed with.

There are no professional critics quoted in OP's articles, just Kardashian fangirls.

They could get a more animated performance out of a deflating balloon.

"Former reality star Kardashian evokes pity and terror in her multi-layered performance, which is likely to win her a well-deserved Emmy and pave the way for a lifetime of artistic triumphs! I can't wait to see Kim's big bootied Phèdre and her curvaceous Lady Macbeth!!! Is that an EGOT I see in Miss Kim's resplendent future??!"

I saw Kim at Gelson's last week. She was performing the Heimlich maneuver on an elderly nun.

The New York Post (archived) begs to differ.

Her acting is perfectly fine. The entire show is shit, of course, and so for what it is, which is mindless shit, she did just fine.

Apparently she's playing her mother.

Why didn’t Ryan hire a professional actress, who needed a job???

$ ---> $ ---> $$$

R15 I came to say it looks like Kris finally got her nostrils unbotched

R14 = Kris Jenner.

Kardashians work in tandem with TMZ. Harvey Levin is on their payroll.

...And Marion looked lovely!

Her face has gone quite far past uncanny recently. I’m expecting her to go full Wildenstein now she is in her forties.

I watched it. I won’t be watching another episode.

NYT:

there is an exquisite symmetry in casting Kardashian as a publicist, a woman wholly concerned with surfaces. Kardashian is a master of self-presentation who has made her face and figure into several fortunes. One of the truest things her former husband Kanye West ever said was to GQ in 2014: “In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period.” But that face has its limitations. In her scenes as Siobhan, her plump lips open and close. Her lashes occasionally flutter. Otherwise those beautiful features do not move. Kardashian suggests the polished stillness of a mountain lake or new veneers: perfect, uncanny.

She does not look as if she were having fun. She seems to treat the series with the same unblinking resolve she applies to any business venture — curated shoes, shapewear, an emoji app. Is this acting? Is it being? In a role that has so far involved pecking at a phone and murmuring about the Time 100 in a raspy drawl, does the difference even matter? This confusion of person and persona is also a Kim K skill. Does that scare you?

If Emma Roberts wasn't in it it might be a good season. As I said in the AHS thread, Kim K was much better.

As my dear departed Mother used to say... She's useless with her clothes on.

I just saw a TikTok video about this

Please. You know the bar is set way low.
