Season 5, Episode 1
10/10
A Fresh Start for Dynasty
21 December 2021
Something just feels different this time around. Better. Everything was just perfect this episode. First off, the directing was fabulous. That's not something you would typically pay attention to on a CW show, but this guy directed 1x22! Michael Allowitz is the best director Dynasty has had and I really hope we have more episodes from him because they are always the best. (Anyway he could direct every episode haha?). Next, the writing. Boy was this episode just living and breathing Dynasty. The OG incorporations, nods, teases, references and foreshadowing were so incredible you can tell that the person who wrote this episode loves Dynasty. And that is so incredibly important for a show like this. Dynasty is an ensemble cast, and I'm happy to say characters are properly utilised here. Dominique, Amanda and Cristal particularly are above the rest which was a something I pray continues. I wish I could say Kirby and Culhane are interesting this time around, but they aren't. It's just impossible to write for a boring character. After Kirby ends up blackmailing the Carringtons she need to be benched for a while, a long while. There is simply no need for these two characters. Other than that. 10/10 episode. Dynasty is back baby!
