Guy D'alema (Atlanta)
It is what it is - a well written and executed drama series that has a great many twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. Top notch acting and beautifuly photographed - a great additon to any clasic tv collection.

5 out of 5 stars Dynasty Season Two Introduces Two New Surprises!    August 26, 2008
Joseph A. Mays (San antonio, TX)
The second season of Dynasty introduces two new surprises that turn the Carrington household upside down and they may never be the same.

The first surprise is Blake Carrington's estranged first wife, Alexis Carrington (Joan Collins). She is called in as a character witness in Blake's murder trial. She testifies about the years of neglect and abuse at the hands of Blake Carrington. What she does NOT testify about is the lifetime of secrets,lies, and personal vendettas to get even with Blake after all these years.

The second surprise is Krystle's estranged niece, Sammy Jo Dean (Heather Locklear). She is basically dumped on the Carrington doorstep by her father (who was married to Krystle's now deceased sister). What she brings with her is a lifetime of experience from learning how to survive on the "wrong side of the tracks".

Both women are shunned and openly criticized by everyone even the household servants. They both find a friend and solace in Steven Carrington. Alexis from a maternal instinct and Sammy Jo from a survival instinct. By the end of the season, both women's fate is hanging in the balance as to how to get what they really want from the Carrington household. Will the two women be able to complete their plans for what they really want from the Carrington household? Sorry, you will have to wait until season 3 to find out.

This Season is also the last season that the original Carrington children actors work together. Al Corley leaves at the end of this season and Pamela Sue Martin follows suit a few seasons later. Although the characters were eventually replaced with good actors, these actors will always remain the originals in the true Dynasty fans' hearts.



5 out of 5 stars As fresh today as it was 30 years ago    June 25, 2008
David L. Nimz (NYC)
The hair! The clothes! The jewels! The cars! The furnishings!

There never was, and there never will be again, a show like Dynasty. Revenge, greed, lust, homosexuality, abortion, miscarriage, adultery--it's all here and it's a tasty treat indeed.

John Forsythe is the very image of corporate power and Linda Evans is a modern-day Melanie Hamilton, sweet and kind but with a steely resolve when it comes to family. But it's Joan Collins who walks away with the show. She doesn't get her "look" until about the 8th episode, and when she does it's a flashback to that super-sophisticated 1940s Hollywood glamour. She wears her designer hats and turbans like a true diva, and delivers her acid-dipped lines with great style and flair. You just can't look at anyone else when she's on screen.

Also, given our country's dealings in the Middle East, the show's setting in the business of oil gives it a very
contemporary feel. After nearly 30 years, it's amazing how little the storyline has dated.
