Dynasty cancelled

[MarkSinacori]

The first episode of season 2 it was a completely different show.
Getting rid of Celia/Crystal was such a knee jerk dumb reaction.
It should have started out with Crystal in a coma then having temporary amnesia about what went down right before she was shot.
This would have given Alexis a reprieve for a while continuing her scheme to sell CA and even after Crystal recovered she still didn’t remember Hank and Alexis kissing.
After Crystal and Blake reuniting and expecting a child, the miscarriage story should have happened, maybe the trauma jarring her memory, remembering everything and finding out who shot the gun.
Real Adam returning ,The CA deal fell through and Alexis getting kicked out then marrying Jeff and inheriting everything.
Keep Steven introduce Dominique after Jeff dies and she and Monica going after Alexis.
Instead we got scammed , Alexis became a joke, recasted and now selling face cream .they couldn’t have anyone overshadow Liz and yea it became the Fallon Disney show which has been a waste for the past 4 years.

Yes, they ruined it completely come season 2. Season had horrid ratings. But it was at least REAL. It wasn't recasting this one and that one or this one is dead. Oh, here's the real Crystal...I just got confused because I wasn't watching as faithfully. I watched all of season 1. As bad the ratings were, and yes, I think it should have been gone after 13 or the finale of season 1, I followed it. It was the best season because they didn't mess things up. It just didn't have a fanbase. Netflix saved it 4 extra seasons.

SEASON 1 was the most "real". But the fanbase and ratings were NOT there. After 13 episodes it should have ended, or after the season 1 or even 2 finale. What saved it was the Netflix deal. I remember a few of you saying since day 1 it was gonna last the minimum of 4 seasons or until it got enough for Syndication re-airings, et. You all were right. But they spent too much money on this show when the fanbase really wasn't there.

What if covid never happened and they aired the season episodes sooner? Would they still have gotten a 5th season? Didn't they get a double renewal after covid? When season 3 got cut short, season 4 began later and they already knew ahead of time they were getting a 5th.

Netflix’s stock is tanking,
Losing Subscribers, so much competition in streaming markets now, they can’t carry all these badly written filler shows like Dynasty,
The only reason this garbage lasted so long was their deal with Netflix and the popularity of the dynasty name overseas.
Regardless it’s not an excuse for the powers of this show to produce crap.
They amplified all that went wrong with the og, horrible recasting( Elaine Hendrix would have made a decent Jeanette, ana Brenda a believable mrs gunneron )stupid writing ,
and added out of context singing dancing and dumb fantasy plots.
Maybe if they continued and focused on producing a dark adult drama we would still have had the original cast and 5 decent seasons even if viewership was lacking .
They should have at least stayed true to the OG ‘s early seasons and not a vehicle for a mediocre actress/ singer.
I have zero expectations on them ending it any differently
I can’t imagine a network like CW can survive and I hope it doesn’t, they’re the reason this show shifted direction season 2 and all the good we were going to get , Alexis as a rich widow,Monica and Alexis become enemies, Alexis causing Celia’s miscarriage just to name a few, until Sallie just gave up and left.
If you’re guarantied a renewal each year because of Netflix at least produce a well written. Show, true to the name and what people expect from it. What we got starting bits in season two but full on 3-5 was the same premise, Fallons weekly problem
next week fallons weekly problem, week after Fallons……
CW is pure bad trash
At least in the beginning they tried
Only because of Sallie Patrick

They ruined Melrose Place. I could have at least helped them had I been a PA on it back in 2009. All the returns made zero sense! The writers didn’t watch the original. I could have filled them in on what happened. None of the crew watched originally, not even the PA’s. So glad it got canned.

The last scene should show a pair of hands closing a manuscript with a voiceover from Joan, “I see you haven’t stopped writing trashy novels about me, sister dearest. Another comic book without the pictures.”

I ran across two excellent recaps of (most of) the series, done right before the second half of S5.

First, the "wordy" version:

Then, the clip-show version:

R.I.P.* Dynasty

*Rust In Pieces!

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

Oh, it's still cancelled. Good.

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Oh, it's still cancelled. Good.

Yeah apparently they were going to give it an eleventh hour reprieve but it was only 4 pm so they decided not to bother!

 

[RandallAdams]

Good. It should never have existed. I can't even google the classic show now without images and clips of that garbage reboot popping up. They completely destroyed everything that was magical about the real Dynasty.

J'ai préféré le reboot à la version originale....

I hope you put your bulletproof vest on before writing such a blasphemous sentence...

The new series did not appeal to me. I stopped watching after season 1.
I thought that Fallon was a better character than in the original,
but everything else seemed lesser in quality
