I look forward to reaching it when I get there in my re-watch. The biggest problem is when it was launched. While it isn't perfect, it's so interesting watching the Dynasty reboot with endless tie ins to the original (even though it doesn't require it as a remake) and writers who appreciate the soap opera genre. What hurt this show is that the writers simply despised soaps and that's what they were tasked at writing. Ratings showed that the audience was there, but the writing drove them away. It's a shame because this was it. Had this gone better we may have gotten more seasons, Knots Landing, who knows? For Dallas to be off the air as long as it was and come back to the ratings it did is pretty outstanding. I just wish they had writers who appreciated the genre more. Being on TNT didn't help much either. I wonder how it would've fared on a streaming network.</p></blockquote><p></p>
