Those who grew up on the original series might watch out of curiosity but the Millennial generation of today who don't know of the old show will think this new reboot is a rip-off of FOX's Empire.

Going off #12 it looked awfully vulgar. Donald Trump's twitter feed is more entertaining.

I'm going to check Dynasty out but I think it might a little too risque and raunchy then the original. I will say that I would love to date the woman who plays Fallon.

If, like me, you were a fan of the 1980’s pop culture iconic television show, Dynasty, no doubt you were looking forward to the premiere of the reboot on CW Wednesday night. The episode titled “I Hardly Recognized You” that aired on October 11th was properly named, if you ask me. Some parts of the show are now hardly recognizable.

“The nighttime soap was made for the ('80s) era, and it should stay there,” says Lorraine Ali. The reboot, she says, “reenters a TV landscape in which the outlandish behavior of moneyed kin is the norm: the Lannisters, the Kardashians, the Real Housewives and of course, the Trumps, a real-time show that runs 24/7 on every other network. Cersei had to bring a dead man to life to compete in this crowded field. Donald Trump had to win an election. Hobbled by history and a dated story line, the new Dynasty doesn’t stand a chance among such extremes.”

ALSO:

Dynasty suffers for taking the “guilt” out of guilty pleasure
Nothing in the new Dynasty is as fun as a Joan Collins-Linda Evens “catfight”
Dynasty lacks verve and style, with downright dowdy interiors
Dynasty pilot is as surprising as the B-story for a Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode
A look back at the wild, decadent original Dynasty

I haven't seen the new Dynasty yet. Is it that bad?
Dynasty, 90210, Melrose Place. Something always seem off when they do these reboots. It's like they have to make it as raunchy as possible. They shouldn't rely on that. Rely on having a good story.

reboots are not as dramatic, not even believable. Fashion in the 60s & 70s was 100x better than today's "fashion" ; the clothes today ...

"Dynasty" Scores Full Season Order at The CW
by Lesley Goldberg
11/8/17

The CW is committing to "Dynasty". The younger-skewing broadcast network has handed out a back-nine episode order for the reboot. The pickup is the first full-season order handed out by The CW this season.

"Dynasty", produced by CBS Television Studios, is averaging 0.4 among adults 18-49 and 1.3 million total viewers with three days of DVR. That's smaller than the returns for "Valor". However, "Dynasty" boasts a lucrative Netflix deal and makes the full-season order almost a slam dunk.
