Reception

Critical reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 6 critics' reviews are positive.[4]

Patrick Smith of The Independent gave the series four out of five stars, writing: "Just as Succession overflowed with sardonic wit, playing out like a Jacobean tragedy, so too does Dynasty, the series unfurling to its pyrrhic climax."[5] Barbara Ellen of The Observer also praised the series, writing: "It makes for engrossing viewing with texts, document and emails never before seen on television."[6]

Conversely, Stephen Brook of The Age criticized the series lack of access to the Murdochs, but praised the use of archival footage.[7]
