I hated last nights episode. What were you guys thinking taking Nicollette Sheridan off the show!!! She was the perfect cast for Alexis. The Fallon lookalike is ridiculous. I think you just ended your show!!!!

Guilty Pleasure

Pleasantly surprised

I hated this series at first. It seemed like a typical corny soap opera with fat-fetched, over-the-top characters and situations. Actually, it's all of that, and but with a sense of humor. I loved Elizabeth Gillies - she made the whole show. She's hilarious and, fortunately, gets to sing cuz she has an amazing voice.
Anyway, got hooked pretty hard on the seasons available on Netflix. I'll try to watch season four as soon as possible.

This series had so much potential, where did it all go wrong?

Season 1 started off so well, a good storyline, reasonable twists & turns, and a lot wealthy people. Like most of the viewers, I started off slightly disliking Cristal 1.0 (Nat Kelley) and by the end of the season she was one of my favourite characters.
Then the producers fired Natalie Kelley (Cristal; the female lead) by never calling her back for Season 2, replacing her with Ana Brenda so that the producers could cash in on more international viewers in Spanish speaking countries.
On a whole season 2 was quite good but never really recovered from the damage done, there was till hope though, but then...
By the end of the season as the viewers finally end up accepting Ana (Cristal 2), guess what happened? Ana quit the series due to "personal issues". Has the CW never heard of a contract?
So instead of bringing back Cristal 1 they decided to recast Cristal 2 with a random actress no one knows or cares about (no offence).
I honestly feel like this is what the writers deserve, first they fired someone who was willing to remain on the show indefinitely, then they hire someone who probably wasn't, then she left. If the writers want this show to survive the rehire Natalie Kelley.
Just swallow your pride and move on writers!
Conclusion: It's a good TV show if you don't mind when actors are replaced for no reason.

I have just finished this show and I really enjoyed it. I had no idea what to expect and it exceeded expectations.
I hadn't seen many of the actors/actresses before. The only one I had seen was Elizabeth Gillies in Victorious and she is what makes this show so good in my opinion.
The ending was done brilliantly but I don't want to wait 3 months to find out what happened. Such a cliffhanger.

Fallon is straight up amazing
miaegekvist20 January 2019
The portraition of Fallon is amazing - its been years since Ive been this hooked on a tv-show. Especially the chemistry between Liz Gillies and Adam Huber is brilliant and everytime they appear on the screen togehter, the episodes gets 10 times better. Just brilliant.
Doesn't even compare to the original.
monicajustice6064 November 2022
I was an avid fan of the original series. I started watching the reboot to see how it compared, it doesn't even come close. Grant Show does a decent job of portraying "Blake", Elizabeth Gillies does a great job as "Fallon", James MacKay is terrible as "Steven", Nicolette Sheridan as "Alexis" is probably the only actress that could even remotely come close to Joan Collins' portrayal, James Adegoke as "Jeff" is terrible and while I like Nathalie Kelley as an actress the writers version of "Krystle" is the worst. I could go on with the cast alone but why. The storylines are ridiculous. Don't bother.
Great nonsense

I m from the older generation who sat home to watch Dynasty decades ago.
Out of curiousity I start watching the new series and I enjoyed it.
Since Alexis made her entry the show really started.
Without that character there is no Dynasty.
The casting of Fallon is excellent, I really like her personication of the old Fallon.
Forget the old Dynasty and for tv that has no meaning and message it 's great to watch this to set your mind of things
Meh.

Predictable. Very very predictable. It almost bores you. Also, there is so much unnecessary drama and fighting, yeah, shows should be dramatic, but there are so many pointless things. I like the characters and fell in love with Steven and Cristal Flores (Celia Machado) but in season two, crystal is leaving and Steven is leaving. Also, Season Two is a huge disappointment compared to season one. Replacing someone so randomly isn't good. And the plot got so boring. But still, it was okay. It was nice-ish. A good show to waste some time or when you have nothing else to watch.
Going downhill

Season 1 was exciting, the right Alexis and Krystle. Season 2 was ok. Season 3 is stupid and kinda sloppy written. Boring storyline and the twists are missing. The Deveraux-family is really boring and not interesting characters.
Okay

Change of Writers
channelflournoy7 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Season 2 is absolutely all over the place. The new characters are not interesting or relevant in anyway. The Cristal 2.0, the Butler's daughter, the Nannie and the lady who blackmails Fallon's BF bring nothing to the climax of the story. I am not sure if new writers were added for Season 2 but it makes for a very dull and disappointing storyline and watch.
Love this show!

Target Audience?
Dr_Sagan13 October 2017
Just watched the pilot of this and I don't get to whom it is addressed...
Is it the past Audience? Who can recognize Bill Conti's theme played in the piano by a young Steven Carrington and know the characters already? I highly doubted since that audience is around 65-70 y.o. and can't understand and relate with the "modern" direction and editing and music of the 2017's version.
Is it a new Audience? Then why bother with this premise. Reviving an old series which was heavily based on the personas of actors like John Forsythe, Joan Collins and Linda Evans. The "aristocrat" look, without having similar actors to work with.
Anyway, such a reboot is a waste of time, in my opinion. It is basically realized because maybe the inspiration hit a ceiling and we live in the age of old reboots.
As a show its too light to watch. Too pseudo-arrogant and pretentious. None of the actual billionaires I watch interviews and such, are emphasizing words like in this show. "It is a deal of 500 MIIILLL-ion dollars", like a game show host or like in an advertisement.
And it tries too hard to "play" with the audience. like in the revelation/presentation of the Cristal character, which reach us to my original question "...to whom it is addressed?" The past audience won't watch it, the new audience won't get it.
Overall: I don't see a ...Dynasty grow out of this. It lacks the larger-than-life actors/characters of the original and its too pretentious for each own sake.

S3 WAS BAD

Can't get enough!
suenosandwater8 April 2018
I love this show and the actors!!! I really cannot get enough, I only watch one show a week and right now this is the show that takes that spot. Totally addicting, guilty pleasure. I love the costuming, the story line is fantastic and binge-worthy. Again I love the actors and main characters, SO happy season 2 was green lighted.
Love the first season! 10/10
sandrajanuszewska17 June 2020
First season epic! Fallon is amazing and super funny. Monica's acting is really bad- very staged and unnatural. It looks like she is always posing for pictures- annoying, ruins it for me. Season 3 is very forced and unnecessary. Too many people ate conspiring and getting mentally ill- very unrealistic and predictable.
I'd strongly recommend season 1&2 though :)

Nostalgia & Cheese at it's Best!!!

I was addicted to Dynasty in the 80s.. And saw it was coming back, and I rolled my eyes.. But, I can't help myself. The nods this does to the original, the 80s party, how the characters (The Colby's) play out is pretty damn creative, and knowing the original like I do, just makes me smile and enjoy this guilty pleasure.. I hope it get's renewed.. I honestly paid for the episodes I missed on Amazon - I enjoyed it that much!
Get a new crystal please.

What a joke
reymontero20 November 2018
I was a fan of the original Dynasty and watched most of it on re-runs.
I can say that Fallon was a good choice, also Blake...the rest is bad. The stories are extremely campy, is this a comedy, a drama or a soap?
Blake is a secondary character, given little to do as the series focuses on Fallon and a bunch of lifeless gay characters.
I tortured myself through 3 of the season 2 chapters and there's one where they go to Paraguay to "build" houses, another chapter focuses on a palm reader, and another on a dream sequence around Fallon.
After that, no more. There are many better ways to waste my time than this.
This seems misguided - to what type of audience are they aiming for?
