Dallas - Season 1

So what have we got here? The new series is a seamless continuation of the 14th season of the original series. The films made in the interim ignore this, and we find ourselves squarely in the middle of a new generation of the Ewing war. Bobby and J.R. have become old men, but they still have plenty of energy to protect their sons, their interests, and their family storyline - Christopher and John Ross III. Of the youngsters, I definitely prefer the good guy Jesse Metcalfe, and he's also sexier and I've seen him in Desperate Housewives and The Other End of the Line. Jordana Brewster hasn't really come into her own in photos yet, but in the action, she's becoming a real babe and a complex character with a past tied to both of Southfork's offspring. Sue Ellen is a joy to look at, because she looks at least a generation younger than her age and has slipped into her role again with complete grace. As far as the new story is concerned, the current spread of only 10 episodes certainly suits the new Dallas. The ending is absolutely epic and the quality is perfectly comparable to the original five-part mini from 1978, which nothing has been able to eclipse in the subsequent decades. Cliff Barnes, you got them all again! (09.01.2019)
