I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Absolutely Fantastic

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

another Dallas. or, only, a baroque fairy tale with fascinating characters, with impressive clothes and not bad script. for many, seed of memories. picture of a society and courageous exercise to present forbidden aspects from every day. the series of shining Linda Evans and dark Joan Collins as fascinating Alex. a testimony about rich people, dramas as bricks of a family force and nice dialogs. fights, love, victories, fall. and memorable atmosphere. Dynasty is a legend of entertainment but little more than a monument. it was an experience for many of its viewers. maybe for ambition to be more than a piece from a long chain of entertainment. or for the desire to be itself. it remains special. a name. a fairy tale. an impressive cast.

Dynasty began as a serious drama that morphed into camp in order to survive. However, despite some early mistakes, the show was never better than season 1. The story opens with a middle aged oil tycoon, Blake Carrington, about to marry his secretary who is about 2 dozen years younger. Blake is giving love another chance after, as we later learn, having been habitually betrayed by his 1st wife years earlier. Blake has had things his way for the past 15 years since he got rid of his 1st wife, but from this point on, he will lose that control. He will have to deal with problems with a spoiled and promiscuous daughter, sort of an 80s version of Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. He also struggles with learning of his son's homosexuality (we soon learn it's actually his son's bi-sexuality). He will also have to deal with a constantly brooding and unhappy new wife who just can't understand why her husband does not have empathy for her continuing love for her married ex. The writers seem to expect the viewers to empathize with Matthew with and Krystle and their "special love" even though both are married, but this falls flat with viewers. So, Matthew Blaisdel is gone after season 1. Over the years, the show becomes more like a 3 ring circus with Blake seemingly always battling back from bankruptcy and trying to get his wife to reconcile with him and come back to his bedroom after their latest "problems". The payoff from such a reconciliation could only work once, but the writers seemed to think of it as their can't miss "go to". All the while, Blake's habitually unfaithful ex wife and mother of 4 of his 5 kids seems to think of having Blake back as her right, and when she can't have him, becomes Angelique to Blake's Barnibus with a she loves him so much that she hates him vendetta. It's fun, but it's to be taken less seriously with each passing season.

The show started out to being Blake ruthless until his actor, the late John Forsythe wanted to make him sympathetic as you have to feel bad for his character.But the ratings went sky high when the woman you loved to hate Alexis played deliciously by Joan Collins came on as a rival for Blake and for his new wife, Krystal(Linda Evans).As it shows wealth and power. Along with family like the openly gay Steve, one of the first at the time for someone being gay in the 1980s, son you loved to hate Adam but just misunderstood, spoiled brat Fallon who ended up with amnesia and changed from Pamela Sue Martin to Emma Samms.Show showed glitz and glamor. And in a sense was like Dallas to begin with. But really the show stood on it's own. It was the ABC's answer to Dallas in CO.

Actually it is the 'Moldavian massacre'that pretty much took the story over the edge and what made people lose interest in Dynasty. If you watched the ABC show on Dynasty a few months ago, you'd know your'e information is as bad as your writing. Honestly I watched dynasty from start to finish in its original ABC prime-time slot; airing for all 8 seasons & I never had a problem with the show. It was campy, funny, serious and to see Alexis & Krystal fight was worth the wait! Dynasty had the biggest cameo's in stars, the love boat of the 90's and the drama was over the top & outrageous. That is what made dynasty!!!!! Over the edge writing!!!!!Joan Collins was just on good day live from Los Angeles and she is dying to speak to Henry Winkler to produce a reunion show for the DVD's that are now coming out, maybe for season 2? Joan Collins had absolutely nothing to do with the demise of dynasty. It was Ester Shaperio & her Husband. Their writing got extremely bad, bad to the point they could not repair the damage that was done.....the demise of a dynasty. Thats all that happened.I'm just finally happy that the 1st season finally hit DVD. I've been waiting years for this, and can't wait to see what kind of extras they do for the next 7 seasons & the Re-union show! FYI, the re-union show was to put a closure to the 8th season and the series. At the end of season 8, they left it as a cliffhanger again and the show never came back. The reunion was intended to put closure to the show, which it did, what reunion show did you watch?
