Dynasty (2017 TV series), Season 1.

The CW does camp revivals well (generally speaking) and it is a nice break from the string of DC comic book series they currently have on the roster.

In the past they did 90210 (for a grand total of 5 seasons) and Melrose Place for a lonely one season, maybe because it brought one of the original cast members back from the dead, spooky!

The Sex & the City prequel was also meet with a luke warm reception.

However here comes Dynasty in 2017, originally screened in 1981-1989. The show boosts several stars from former popular soaps, Grant Show (Melrose Place - the original), Rafael de La Fuente (Empire), Australian Alan Dale (Neighbours in Australia, The OC & Lost) & Nick Wechsler from Revenge.

The first episode had sex, intrigue, family ties been strained and more drama and fashion than a soap I had seen since Revenge and Cookie's wardrobe in Empire.

Grant Show was a mystery hit in sleeper fan favourite Devious Maids and his resurrection and the The CW's global deal with Netflix could save this series. Riverdale has been an international smash hit (with a large thanks to Netflix streaming the series) and this week launched to a huge live audience for the super sized season return.

Netflix and The CW are a match made in heaven, more comic book series, more camp new dramas from Shondaland and Ryan Murphy are on the way and potentially the Sabrina the Teenage Witch Riverdale spin off maybe to also feature on the streaming giant.

So could Netflix save this new drama? Dallas did reasonably well on TNT a few years back with a sexy cast and thin plot. I am excited about this series and hope to hell the handsome as hell Rafael de La Fuente sticks around.



So if you have Netflix, give it a look this weekend, if you are in the USA maybe take a look on The CW.
