Here were my thoughts while watching the trailer.
1.
Okay, Sarah Paulson. THIS is how you make an entrance.
2.
Paulson’s line about the hallway being shaped like a “clown’s cervix” is kind of giving “man who is trying to write dialogue for a woman” as I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an actual woman describe anything as “looking like a cervix” in any context, but I also appreciate the unique imagery and am always here for more education about female anatomy.
4.
Sarah Paulson also looks GOOD. I’m kind of into it.
5.
Really strategic use of Britney Spears’s “Work Bitch” here.
8.
Love that the first time a man appears in the trailer (and pretty much every time after), he’s completely crashing out.
9.
“Men. They are terrified of women in power,” says a woman in a pantsuit to two other women in pantsuits. So true, Glenn Close, so true. This show might be a Disney movie for (some) women and a horror movie for (some) men.
10.
I do personally feel that only weak, spineless men are terrified of women in power, and I would love to see more onscreen portrayals of well-adjusted men who are more than happy to appreciate and follow powerful women, but that’s just me.
11.
“I tell my clients every day: You never really know a person. It’s just a trap.” Okay, I can’t help but imagine that this was pretty satisfying for Kim K to say after her awful divorce from (and ongoing coparenting efforts with) Kanye West.
13.
“Every tear you shed is $100K in your pocket.” This is definitely what Taylor Swift is talking about when she sang about girl-bossing way too close to the sun on The Life of a Showgirl, and I’m kind of here for it.
14.
I think this is actually going to be pretty satisfying to watch. I recently heard the statistic that women reportedly initiate 70% of divorces, and it just seems like a sensible time for a show like this in general.
15.
I’m very here for whatever is happening with Sarah Paulson, in this frame and in this trailer in general.
17.
Calling each other whores and infertile as insults? Maybe not the best show of female friendship and solidarity, but something tells me this isn’t about that either.
19.
I, for one, am 1000% seated.
What did you think of this trailer? Who are you most excited to see in All’s Fair? Let me know in the comments, and stream it November 4th on Hulu.
