So am I, for that matter.
So after I finished the newDynastypilot, I decided to relieve my boredom by googling Dynasty Catfight.
This is what came up:
Nothing in the pilot of neo-Dynastyis nearly as fun as that.
As heiress Fallon Carrington, Elizabeth Gillies channels Collins carnivorous ambitionandLeighton Meesters imperial pout.
Brother Steven is a progressive idealist who hates fracking.
The show pretends toward vague topicality, ups the sexuality from TV-G to TV-14.
But theres something fuddy-duddy in the execution here.
(Like, are tech tycoons still new rich?)
The newDynastycomes from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who worked together onThe O.C.andGossip Girl.
This new show feels dangerously bland by comparison, unwilling to embrace its campiest instincts.
You want poison-pen love song for the Mar-a-Lago set.
Instead, the Carringtons come and go, talking about fracking and COOs.
Though, minor spoiler: There is an actual explosion.
Thats the right instinct,Dynasty!
Subtlety will get you nowhere.
