Dallas

Right now you can watch Dallas in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. Every one of its 14 seasons holds up. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 240 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. The visual style is immediately recognisable, but the writing is what keeps you watching. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

There is a reason Dallas keeps coming up in conversation. The look of Dallas gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. The world's first mega-soap, and one of the most popular ever produced, Dallas had it all. Beautiful women, expensive cars, and men playing Monopoly with real buildings. Famous for one of the best cliffhangers in TV history, as the world asked "Who shot J.R.?" A slow-burner to begin with, Dallas hit its stride in the 2nd season, with long storylines and expert character development. Patrick Duffy and Kimberly Foster bring more to it than the format typically demands. It ran for 14 seasons (1978–1991), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Dallas uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, Dallas treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. If you have already watched Dynasty, Dallas is a natural next step. At 14 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Patrick Duffy brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.

Dallas wrapped up in 1991, created by David Jacobs — and 14 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
