She included a photo of herself smiling ear-to-ear after sharing a screenshot of a tweet that read, “some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in my life alongside the most predictable storylines and the most ridiculous styling. I’m obsessed, I need 14 seasons. #AllsFair.”

While it appeared that Karashian carefully selected which tweets she was going to include in her post, she didn’t shy away from sharing some of the harshest ones out there.

All’s Fair on Hulu dares to ask the question ‘Does a show need to be good?’ & the answer is no, it doesn’t. We have legendary actresses here giving the worst performances of their careers, it takes a special kind of talent to pull that kind of inability out of them. Amazeballs,” another screenshot of a tweet reads.

Proving that she’s learned a thing or two since becoming a mainstay in Hollywood, she shared another screenshot of a tweet suggesting that critics’ reviews “ended up making people watch and love the show.”

The post ended with Kardashian highlighting some of the show’s more positive reviews.

“Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!? All’s Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus,” she captioned the post.

Meanwhile, costar Close, 78, also weighed in, sharing a fun Instagram post of a doodle of the cast and a pot of “Critic-Bunny Stew” — a nod to her famous bunny-killing character in Fatal Attraction.

“👏 👏👏👏👏👏😂,” the Oscar-nominated actress wrote in the comments section.

Anthony Hemingway, one of All’s Fair‘s directors and executive producers, defended the show while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, saying, in part, “You’re not going to please everybody.”

“You may have certain criticisms, while there are a million others who love it,” he said.” I think the show holds a mirror up to each person who watches it. It’s just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it, and see yourself? It may be out of your league, it may not be anything you can connect to, and I think that goes for anything that gets presented on screen.”

Speaking to PEOPLE for an exclusive cover shoot ahead of the show’s release, the cast opened up about their close bond and how they shared gifts with one another during the shoot.

“I had the best time, I really did,” said Paulson, 50, while Close added, “Sarah and Kim sometimes could not look at each other without laughing.”

Admitting that says she’s never experienced “this level” of support on a set, Nash-Betts, 55, told PEOPLE of her costars, “Some of us are not chickens that just hatched … We got a few feathers; we’ve been around the block a few times. When I was on the set of Ryan’s Scream Queens, I was looking for somebody grown to have a conversation with, so I love y’all for that.”

New episodes for All’s Fair will be released at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET on Hulu every Tuesday until Dec. 23.
