"Dallas" is the saga of the Ewing family and its massive oil empire. Patriarch Jock has three sons. The eldest is J.R., the relentless CEO of Ewing Oil. Less obviously malicious are Bobby and Gary. Over a decade-plus of backstabbing, inbreeding, lust and greed, dozens of characters enter and exit the "Dallas" universe.

2.5/5
The actors were well into their later years, but there was still plenty of jabs at each other and enough backstabbing in the storylines to have fun watching. Go to Full Review Ross Ruediger Bullz-Eye.com 03/04/2019
2.5/5
It's always a little sad when a long-running series begins to show its age, yet fights against it tooth and nail, and that's more or less what's happening with "Dallas" in its twelfth season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
