Primary
Dynasty primarily focuses on the personal and interpersonal dramas of an ultra-wealthy family, emphasizing themes of ambition, betrayal, and power struggles within a glamorous setting. The series largely avoids explicit political commentary, instead centering on apolitical themes and individual character arcs.
The 'Dynasty' reboot demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit recasting of several traditionally white roles with minority actors, including race and gender swaps. While the narrative incorporates these diverse characters into its central drama, it primarily focuses on the power dynamics and personal lives of wealthy families rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
Dynasty features prominent LGBTQ+ characters like Steven Carrington and Sam Jones, whose relationship is central and portrayed with dignity and respect. The show normalizes queer identities and relationships within its dramatic narrative, presenting them as integral parts of the characters' lives without resorting to harmful stereotypes or negative framing. The overall impact is affirming and positive.
The television series 'Dynasty' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative primarily focuses on the dramatic lives of wealthy families, power struggles, and romantic entanglements, without exploring gender identity in the context of transsexuality.
