All's Fair 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer

This review contains plot details from the first three episodes of “All’s Fair,” which are now available on Hulu. Creators: Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Ryan Murphy Stars: Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash The fact that a legal drama supposedly about female empowerment begins with a pilot episode written and directed by men probably tells you everything you need to know about “All’s Fair.” In fact, of the three episodes currently available on Hulu to commemorate the series premiere, only one features a significant creative credit from a woman, and it’s shared between executive producer Jamie Pachino and co-creator Ryan Murphy, who collaborated on the script for Episode 2.  But this is a review, so I’m obligated to elaborate: “All’s Fair” is a clumsy, condescending take on superficial, triumphalist feminism, undercooked even by the standards of the overworked Murphy, who co-created the series with Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz. Admittedly, the tone is intentionally campy, and i...

House of David 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer

Stephen Lang is one of religious history’s most iconic prophets during one of its most turbulent periods in House of David. Lang, best known for his work on the Don’t Breathe and Avatar franchises, has explored the historical genre in the past, from the well-received Civil War epic Gettysburg and its prequel Gods and Generals to the political thriller The Gandhi Murder. With the Prime Video show, however, he marks his first major foray into faith-based storytelling, teaming up with the creative team of Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, whose previous hits include American Underdog and Ordinary Angels.

House of David is set in B.C. Israel and chronicles multiple stories that will eventually intersect thanks to David, the young biblical figure who, after slaying the Philistine giant Goliath, would eventually become one of the most notable kings in Israel’s history. Lang stars in the show as Samuel, the renowned prophet who, under God’s guidance, takes power away from the proud King Saul and sets out on a journey to discover who the next rightful ruler of the land is.

Creator: Jon Erwin
Stars: Michael Iskander, Aziz Dyab, Jeremy Xido

In anticipation of the show’s premiere, ScreenRant interviewed Stephen Lang to discuss House of David. The Tony Award nominee spoke about working with Erwin and Gunn for the project, why it feels like a more universal story than other faith-based titles in the past, the research he did to dive into Samuel’s world, and a brief tease of what to expect from Quaritch’s mindset going into Avatar: Fire and Ash.


With House of David being his first real foray into the world of faith-based dramas, as well as his first major television role since his recurring role as David Cord on The Good Fight, there were certainly several avenues to explain why Lang was interested in joining the Prime Video show. For the star, he immediately pointed to his initial meeting with Gunn and Erwin, admiring that they were “straightforward people” and “impressive thinkers” and the more he talked about the show with them, the more “confident he felt to jump on board.”


The show also continues the recent rise of faith-based storytelling on both the big and small screen, with everything from more realistic dramas like Ordinary Angels to even the post-apocalyptic thriller Homestead featuring different types of stories while still having certain morals and messages at their core. For Lang, however, he finds the show to have a very universal theme regarding David’s journey, recalling how he himself “felt very dislocated” in his younger days, as did David, while also teasing the broader scope of his story to entertain all audiences.


Newcomer Michael Iskander, who starred in the Tony Award-winning musical “Kimberly Akimbo,” plays David and was cast after a four-month international search. The first three episodes of “House of David” will premiere on Prime Video on February 27, with subsequent episodes to be released weekly.


In the story, David becomes the king of Israel, facing off against Goliath (Martin Ford) and navigating love and loss to fulfill his ultimate destiny despite starting out as an outcast teenager. Alongside Iskander, the cast includes Ali Suliman (“Jack Ryan”) as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons”) as Queen Ahinoam and Stephen Lang (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) as Samuel.
