Dynasty (2017) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual themes are prominent through innuendo, suggestive dialogue, and scenes of implied sexual activity. Kissing and passionate embraces are common, sometimes leading to scenes where characters are shown in bed together under sheets, with nudity implied but not shown. Flirtatious behavior and discussions of promiscuity are regular occurrences. One storyline involves a character attempting to seduce another for corporate gain.

Mild to moderate violence occurs, typically in the form of physical altercations between characters. This includes slapping, shoving, hair-pulling, and brief fistfights that result in minor injuries. There are instances of property damage, such as a car being set on fire. A significant plot point involves a suspicious death and an oil field explosion which causes burns and injuries, though graphic details are usually avoided. A hostage situation occurs where Fallon is tied up, but not physically harmed.

Mild to moderate profanity is used throughout the season. Words like "bitch," "hell," "damn," and "bastard" are heard regularly, especially from Fallon. Characters also use derogatory terms like "slut" or "whore" in arguments. Stronger language is generally avoided, but the frequency contributes to a TV-14 rating.

Prominent themes include family betrayal, corporate espionage, infidelity, and the corrupting nature of wealth and power. Characters consistently lie, manipulate, and scheme against each other for personal gain or revenge. Themes of identity and acceptance are explored through Steven's sexuality and Cristal's past. Grief is touched upon following a character's death, though often overshadowed by suspicion and new conflicts. Abduction is a mild theme, with characters being held against their will.
