Judy Berman TIME Magazine Mar 27
Whether you want to understand the current state of journalism or are just curious about the real-life Logan Roy, Dynasty is worth a look. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Mar 20
For all the emotional and psychological detail like this spilled in “Dynasty: The Murdochs,” it doesn’t make a play for our sympathies or leave us feeling any particular way about these people. Go to Full Review Lucinda Everett Guardian Mar 14
3/5
As per the premise, this engaging potted history is intercut (in a confusingly non-chronological way) with succession shenanigans big and small. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Mar 17
It makes for engrossing viewing with texts, document and emails never before seen on television... Mainly though, the series presents a dark family dynamic, mangled by power, survival and daddy issues. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media Mar 17
4/5
With an engrossing mix of unbelievable family stories and political backroom deals, the narrative is expertly woven to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Go to Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Mar 16
It’s a well-crafted biographical chronicle, and it goes beyond what Succession took as inspiration to prove the Murdochs are just as bad, if not worse, at family relationships than the Roys. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ron K @Ron_k Mar 24 The producer wanted a price for the most "left and right wing" words in a documentary and it ruined the whole show, it fits perfectly in the Netflix ruined it again shows.. See more Andrew H @andrewhlt Mar 23 Meh....Nothing much to see here. I'm niether anit Murdoch nor pro Murdoch but I do lean conservative. I'm not sure how this series is trying to paint the Murdoch family but, in the end, these are just super rich people with super rich people problems. Nothing really interesting here... See more Dan C @cinemacriterion Mar 23 Fascinating series! Really enjoyed it. See more J R. @jrRingelman Mar 17 It’s just a left wing hit piece. See more Read all reviews
