If you want romantic drama that respects your intelligence, Dynasty is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. 5 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 904 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Elizabeth Gillies's performance makes the emotional stakes feel real, not manufactured. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dynasty is worth clearing space for. Dynasty treats its central relationship as something worth taking seriously. Follows two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children focusing on Fallon Carrington, the daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington, and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal, a Hispanic woman marrying into this WASP family and America’s most powerful class. Elizabeth Gillies and Grant Show lead a cast that makes the relationship feel genuine, not scripted. It ran for 5 seasons (2017–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Romance lives or dies on chemistry, and Dynasty has it in the cast combination that the writers chose to put at the centre of everything. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Dynasty is the kind of thing you watch without apology. Viewers who responded to Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Elizabeth Gillies is the anchor, and the work here is one of the more understated achievements in their career. The kind of thing you finish and immediately want more of.

Dynasty was cancelled in 2022, created by Stephanie Savage, Josh Schwartz and Sallie Patrick — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
