This new Dynasty struggles to blend the hedonism and baroque plotting of its predecessor with sleeker storylines and visual aesthetics.October 11, 2017
The self-satisfied sneering of these smarmy privileged putzes in their private jets, luxury cars and mansions is pretty much the opposite of a turn-on. We're not talking class envy here. More like crass exhaustion.October 11, 2017
Dynasty works a little too hard at living up (or down) to its splashy billboards in the early going, with Gillies overplaying the femme fatale shtick.October 09, 2017
The single biggest shocker about this Dynasty is that it's not bad.October 10, 2017
The show does a lot to let us know that it's of the times.October 11, 2017
... there's certainly no point in twitting Dynasty for over-doing it -- when that's all it's ever done.October 11, 2017
This new Dynasty can never go as far as a full reimagining of the wealth soap like Empire, but the gestures it does make toward adjusting often feel awkward and out of place.October 11, 2017
Fans of the original Dynasty know Fallon's nastiness is just a warm-up.October 10, 2017
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.October 10, 2017
The rebooted Dynasty is a paler shade of the original - it doesn't have the same scale in terms of attitude and sass, not yet anyway.
