Slightly behind 'Knots Landing' but on a par with 'Dallas', 'Dynasty' is an absolute shambles of a show saddled with appalling scripts and hammy actors. How it was ever considered fit for screening is beyond my comprehension.
There are too many cast members for me to be bothered listing here but possibly the most well known among the cast was Joan Collins as the vindictive Alexis. Collins back in the '80's was considered something of a sex symbol and for the life of me I could never understand why. To refer to her as 'mutton dressed as lamb' would be an understatement. Her make-up assistant would not have used a make-up brush to apply her make-up, she or he would have used a hock and trowel!
The plots ( if you can call them that ) ran the gamut of soap cliches ( extra-martial affairs, miscarriages, violence, rape and so on ) and were performed in such an overbearingly dramatic way. I have seen better acting in amateur pantomimes!
Some people think that hanging is suitable punishment for murderers and rapists. I say that is too much of an easy way out for them. I personally would subject to endless screenings of 'Dynasty'!
