...and it's gone just as quick. That is, off my watch list as I've given it the thumbs down. I'm happy others find this reincarnation of Dynasty watchable and I did have high hopes this season might improve under new leadership but it's actually worse. Now before those on this platform cast me to hell for moving this trash into the trash bin this is just my own opinion.
Season 4 is hopeless in direction and is slapstick comedy. Too much of it is taken up by screen hog Fallon and the actress playing Alexis lacks substance and style. That bleach blonde, long eyelashes, complete with pander eyes and garish clothes is awful. Four episodes in and I couldn't understand why Sam was still there. Adam was brilliant when first introduced but he is on a mission to outdo Jim Carrey's facial expressions.
Lord of the manor Blake is a waste of space. His character lacks depth and I'd imagine if Alan Beam (Dallas) popped up in Atlanta he'd eat Blake for breakfast. Is Grant Show short? Sometimes he comes off that way when standing up against Liz Gillies. Please someone grab Tom Cruises' platforms and offer them to Grant. The Jeff/Alexis show at the manor is sitcom material.
The character I feel for is Liam. What a waste of talent having this guy on Dynasty. I look back now and I think he would have made a great fit as Christopher Ewing. I get that Covid-19 has affected many productions around the world and it's obvious when seen but when I was watching some of the earlier material I felt this sensation the actors were talking to tennis balls suspended on a string. It had a weird vibe as though the actors had sometimes did their scene and it was spliced in, like they often do with twin story lines.
I'm still annoyed that garbage like this exists when my favourite, Dallas is yanked off the air because of pitiful ratings yet even in its final season (3) would still have been outperforming new Dynasty. The only thing saving this is the Netflix deal and nothing else.
Rant over.
