Don't you just love those American soap operas that revolve around rich families and their lives? I do.
Dynasty emulated Dallas and did a good job. It featured John Forsythe (the voice of Charlie in Charlie's Angels) as Blake Carrington, the head of the Carrington dynasty. Blake had a few kids, a beautiful wife and an ex-wife Alexis played by Joan Collins. Being a rich capitalist, he also had several business enemies.
There were some great stories and this show was as good as Dallas, maybe even a bit better at times. There were some fantastic fights at times, especially between the women. Part of me hates seeing women fight each other but this show made it entertaining.
Whilst it wasn't as wacky as Dallas, Dynasty was relatively wacky at times and stretched credibility a bit too far. It was an expensive show to make and it showed. Also, just like Dallas, a fair few celebrities showed up at times. The final episode could be considered fantasy but it was entertaining all the same.
The TV world is a poorer place without Dynasty (what a sad person I must be).
