So I saw the trailer for All Fair. I noticed Elizabeth Berkley and Jessica Simpson were in the show. I come to realise that the reason Ryan gets a free pass is that he offers great roles to women that have been forgotten by the Hollywood system.
The fact Hollywood chases the younger talent like Margaret Qualley and Sydney Sweeney. It neglects the awesome actresses it already has. Like instead of a 20s-30s wife for the 40-50 man, get a wife/girlfriend closer to his age. Either that or give women good juicy roles. Think about Jessica Lange who made a comeback on American Horror Story. Over the next few years she got juicy roles to sink her teeth into. Same thing with Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett. Jane Lynch has been acting since the 80s and got famous thanks to Glee. He is not afraid to hire actors who are disabled too.
He also gives roles to good actor who have been blacklisted for being gay. Zachery Quinto and Denis O’Hare don’t get enough work. Talented actors who should get recognition but are neglected.
He hires these older women and gives them good roles with decent pay. We may hate that Kim Kardashian is the lead. However every other actress in the show has been neglected by Hollywood and are taking the cheques in this shit show.
Until other writers/creators realises this wealth of neglected talent, it is doomed to have Ryan Murphy slop served to us.
