DYNASTY VS RIVIERA
setting Dynasty: Denver, Colorado. Home to the Carringtons, a one-per centing oil family. Riviera: The grubby art sales underworld of the glamorous Côte d’azur, where a tragedy throws the Clios family into chaos.
style
Dynasty: Shoulder pads, sequins and eight litres of hairspray per episode. Riviera: Slinky silk gowns, oversized sunglasses and nary a bouffant in sight. Think red carpet chic at Cannes, even when loitering sustenance
Dynasty: Caviar and champagne Riviera: Err, caviar and champagne. Dynasty: Stars John Forsythe, Linda Evans, Joan Collins and Christopher Cazenove memorable moments Dynasty: Too many catfights to mention, notably Krystle and Alexis’s epic pond tussle. Riviera: The opening episode sees a (sophisticated) orgy aboard a super yacht, interrupted by an explosive assassin.
