When it comes to new Dynasty I think you've just answered your own question. TNT Dallas was copping criticism for plot-lines moving to swiftly. Now new Dynasty is copping criticism for non-existent plots...or plots not resolved.
In both cases we should be looking at those behind the scenes; writers, show-runner, executive/producers. Their incompetence is seeping through the screen. So the big question should be. How do they not see their own failures?
I think they do see their own failures but why should they bother? Thanks to the Netflix deal, Dynasty is making money before its airing... ( I read that somewhere). It reminds me of Aaron Spelling's words about Moldavia aftermath. The show was number one already, so why bother to spend too much money to make it more attractive? People were watching anyway. And this is how we had a daytime soap season premiere ...
Obviously buisness comes first in show buisness...
About the comings and goings behind the screen, I really do hope we'll see one day a "CW Dynasty: The wasting of a guilty pleasure" which bares it all...
