Season 1 Review:
The worst thing you can say about this show is that it knows exactly what it is; the best thing you can say about it is that it goes above and beyond that realization. It has hints of wanting to build on one of TV’s biggest soapy fortunes, rather than leech off it like a trust-fund brat.

Season 1 Review:
If you’re in the market for a nighttime soap with beautiful people behaving badly, Dynasty--an update of the 1980s camp classic--will serve your needs. But as cleverly reimagined as the original has been by producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (both vets of The O.C. and Gossip Girl), I couldn’t escape the feeling that the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise has made a Dynasty reboot irrelevant.

Season 1 Review:
I wasn’t impressed by the premiere, which, despite its more sexually explicit tone, is fairly bland. The script strains to make it all relevant, referencing other current dynasties including the Kardashians and the Trumps, but the whole enterprise nonetheless feels dated.

Season 1 Review:
Its downfall is a consistent failure to go far enough with drama and camp. The cast isn’t taking the story too seriously, that much is obvious. But it’s also plain to see that they want us to know that they’re deadly serious about doing justice to the original. They shouldn’t be.

Season 1 Review:
It remains firmly lost amid the clutter. While the pilot, which premieres on Wednesday (October 11), has updated some key plot points from the original series, what it can't seem to effectively update is the risqué rush that helped Dynasty and shows of its ilk thrive.
