    Amanda's very first fresh episode

    Amazing episode! Preach to Jason Ganzel and Michael Allowitz🙏. Thanks good Amanda is bringing drama and can't wait to see how her arc evolves. This proves the show works when drama comes in.

    Oh My God

    This episode was everything I wanted and more! It looked beautiful, the jokes landed, the drama was keeping me hooked, everything just worked to perfection! Amanda, Fallon and Alexis stole this episode, and it is well deserved. Some of the best acting we've had from the show in a long time. I wish every episode was like this.

    Highlight of the past two seasons

    This is the best episode since Sallie Patrick was showrunner. Throughly impressed and renewed my love for Dynasty. Really hope the final episodes are THIS BLOODY GOOD.

    Dynasty is on the right path again

    Such a fabulous episode. Much rather when the characters are portrayed this way then last weeks where they are all desperate jokes. Fallon was sharp, Alexis was threatening, Blake was ruthless, Amanda was defiant. The list just keeps going on and on. Every storyline kept me hooked and engaged, and that hasn't happened since 4x13. This felt like what Dynasty is supposed to be. The only fault with the episode is that there was no Dominique haha! Big step up from last week regardless.

    Amazing episode

    This episode was amazing! It was among the best episodes this season, together with the first two episodes and episodes 13. I have never seen Alexis written so well before. Episode 17 should be the blueprint for how Alexis' character should be approached, as a manipulative vixen. I do hope her wardrobe gets more colorful in later episodes though, but Alexis was on fire this week. 4x17 was Dynasty at it's best; great character development, great writing; a lot of drama and not to heavy on the comedy. Plus the directing was "movie-like" amazing, but it's no surprise as Michael Allowitz is for sure the show's best director, his work on Dynasty cannot be matched. I am so glad the writers are finally embracing the original Dynasty and not trying so hard to make it "a different show". The writer and the director of episode 17 should do every single episode of Dynasty. Bravo!
