BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Armand 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.

Withrow68 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.

ShelbyTMItchell 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.

fmcnulty2003 I had a very co-dependent relationship with Dynasty. I was an avid Dallas fan until a friend told me Joan and Linda were going to duke it out in the studio - so I agreed to watch it and I instantly fell in love with it - rabidly following the second season, could not wait till each Wednesday night, then THINGS started to happen. The third season started off admirably - Claudia was locked up again, Fallon's baby was found safe and sound - then Fallon decided Krystle wasn't that bad after all - the two then formed an alliance against Sammy-Jo. After so many years, it was wonderful when Sammy Jo and Fallon finally became friends, but I wish Pamela Sue Martin was still playing the role. Emma Samms was wonderful, nothing against her, but couldn't she have played, let's say, Amanda, while Pamela stayed. Oh, the things we think of, after the fact. The co-dependency comes into the picture when, week after week, I kept checking my watch and wanting to yell, "oh, come on", and wanting to stop watching (this is post-Moldavia), but I couldn't. I couldn't leave this in the state it was in. I needed it. It needed me. I was so relieved when it finally left me, though. I didn't want to be the bad guy in this relationship but I soon found love again and I had 11 very beautiful years with NYPD BLUE.
