A modernized reboot of the 1980s primetime soap follows two of America's wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children. Told primarily through the perspectives of two women at odds -- Fallon Carrington, daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington; and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal, a Hispanic woman marrying into the WASP family -- "Dynasty" not only features the glitz and gloss of extreme wealth, but also exposes the dark underbelly of a corrupt world built on backroom deals.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dynasty's revival retains enough of its predecessor's over-the-top allure to offer a glamorous guilty pleasure in its first season, even if it never quite recaptures the magic of the original.

Dynasty needs to be a little bigger. A little broader. A little more off the wall. Go to Full Review
Tanya Gold Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/22/2019
The new Dynasty is ridiculous, but it isn't plausible. It failed the first rule of drama - I didn't believe it. Go to Full Review
Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 11/13/2017
I'll never watch this again. Dynasty reminds you of all the bad ways in which the world has changed. It's not niche or interesting to have a soap opera about people who are merely undeservedly loaded any more. Go to Full Review

If you're looking for a fun, trashy nighttime soap with politics that (probably) won't make you cringe, Dynasty fits the bill. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 05/22/2019
[Josh] Schwartz, [Stephanie] Savage and [Sallie] Patrick are trying to combine the campiness of the original with the banter-heavy rhythm of their previous shows, and the combination just doesn't work. Go to Full Review
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/12/2018
It could be fun, so long as it doesn't try to make you think too much. That's pretty much Dynasty in a nutshell. Go to Full Review

Marko @MarkoCop 07/03/2024 Absolutely love the show, after the first season it got kind of boring but still watchable. Totally recommend. See more Mt N 01/16/2023 Couldn't love this more. Sucks you in soo much, you forget existence itself. See more 04/22/2022 Ok this is the best u guys i recommend this series the acting is literally on another level See more 11/24/2021 I didnt like the first few episodes, but from episode 7 its a good show and i enjoyed watching it. Liz Gillies is the real star of this movie and fits perfectly with the role of Fallon. Nicolette does an amazing job with Alexis, but Nat. Kelly doesnt do a good job. Her acting is really bad, but the story line is good enough to watch. See more 11/10/2021 Modern version of Santa Barbara Tv-Show. Cristal has a face and voice which is about to cry any moment. Dominique has a strange face and weird moves and behavior. I guess directors made a copy of a snake from Mowgli. Alexis' character is copy os a Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. See more 05/27/2021 This show is so cheap and stereotypical. The dialogs, the plot...literally everything. Sorry, just naaay See more Read all reviews
