    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.

    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.

    Even though there’s an abundance of gilt and Gulfstreams these days, the sizzle is nowhere near the same.

It is a guilty pleasure with great outfits, lots of over the top drama and sassy lines. But it is also a good show with a diverse cast and female characters owning this show, especially Liz Gillies as Fallon is great as a strong and smart character always underestimated by her father and other men in her life. I think this show will be a hit!… Full Review »

It pays hommage to the Dynasty series from 1980 in lots of ways, using the music that was the old Dynasty intro and doing the epic scene in which Fallon bites of the wedding cake's chocolate bridesmaid' s head.
    It is also new, changing the subjects of the old Dynasty that now are seen as problematic like the homophobe reaction from Blake Carrington to his son Steven. Steven now is openly gay and there are no problems with that. The strained father-son relationship now comes from the fact that Mr. Carrington is in oil and fracking while Steven is a for fighter of green energy and protests against his father' s plans to exploit native american land.
    New is also that the women are the main characters of the show. Daughter Fallion Carrington is now ambitious, smart and after the head position of her family's company.
    This combination of old and new makes Dynasty a great watch for both fans of the 80' s Dynasty as new fans looking for some fresh, modern drama. Well done!    … Full Review »
