The premise of The CW’s Dynasty is actually quite similar to that of the original Dynasty.
Considering that the original Dynasty ran for 9 seasons and more than 200 episodes, it’s not too much of a surprise that The CW wants to stick with a recipe for melodrama that tends to work on television.
The biggest difference between the two seems to be that the original pitted Fallon against her father’s former secretary as she is on the verge of marrying into the Carrington family.
I can tell you right now that if Fallon and Cristal don’t end up in a cat fight so vicious that they fall into a pool of water, I will be sorely disappointed.
