Dynasty-3rd Season V01 (1982)

"...the Carringtons haven't lost their luster, and their romances, manipulations, and dirty dealings remain just as absorbing as ever.  David Krauss, Digitally Obsessed
"...represent[s] all it meant to be rich, glamorous, and dysfunctional in America...exactly what the TV-watching public wanted to see...  Franny French, Reel.com
"...a cast of wealthy and highly dysfunctional characters...[and] a generous dash of glamor and glitz...  Holly E. Ordway, DVD Talk
"...a primo example of the overbaked glitz, dizzy glam, and enormous shoulder pads that dominated early-80s entertainment.  MaryAnn Johanson, The Flick Filosopher
"Dynasty crackles with good writing...its appeal was certainly not limited to big hair, shoulder pads and a B-movie British actress...  Scott Holleran, Box Office Mojo

Editor's Note Epitomizing the glamour and decadence of 1980s Reagan-era America, DYNASTY was essentially a prime-time soap opera, and was characterized by campy, melodramatic plotlines, as well as Joan Collins's magnetic performance as the conniving Alexis Colby. She is divorced from Blake Carrington (John Forsythe), a fabulously wealthy oil magnate who marries his secretary, Krystle Jennings (Linda Evans), at the show's inception; the jealous Alexis schemes to do everything she can to destroy their union. The rest of the cast includes Blake and Alexis's children--the promiscuous amnesiac Fallon and the sexually ambivalent Steven--as well as resident geologist Matthew Blaisdel and his psychotic wife, Claudia. During the third season, Blake's long-lost son Adam comes knocking, Alexis wrests control of a rival oil firm, and a freak explosion causes Steven to have extensive plastic surgery, supplying him with a new face (that of actor Jack Coleman).
