In the late nineties of the last century, world cinema pleased connoisseurs with a significant number of different films, but I remember this time with the appearance of the chic family saga called Dallas. Everyone I know talked about her. Thanks to the evening broadcast, literally no one could be reached, since everyone’s attention was focused on the TV screens. The heroes of this series became relatives, almost like family members. The twists and turns of the plot, the constant antagonism of brothers Bobby and John Ross, the ups and downs of the Ewing family caused a violent reaction. This series was a real sensation. And although I never considered myself a fan of soap operas, I, like everyone around me, was passionate and fascinated.
And now, many years later, quite unexpectedly it turns out that the continuation of this splendor is being filmed with the participation of the same actors. What did I see in the new season?
Before the screenwriters who swung at this work, there was a serious task - not to disappoint former fans and find new ones. And they did it to the fullest. First of all, this is evidence of the correct choice of the playing composition. Perhaps Patrick Duffy, Larry Hagman and Linda Gray - easily recognisable despite age-related changes - would have been able to pull out a TV show for a while, but the need for a "fresh blood" infusion was obvious. The new generation, represented mainly by not the most popular American actors, nevertheless, demonstrates quality professional performance. In addition, careful work on the characters and content of the telenovela is noticeable.
The role of JA III is well spelled out – as they say, the apple does not fall far from the apple tree. Not by years, a cynical, calculating guy, eager for power and not neglecting anything, even dirty tricks and blackmail, inspires fears not only to other actors of the drama, but also to the viewer.
Still relevant topic with skeletons in the closet, which seems to have all without exception participants in the series. Now the previously kidnapped daughter of his wife Bobby comes to the fore. Are they really related? Will my mother be able to bring her back after all these years? Or is it a trick of a dishonest man trying to get his way?
The next round of clashes of interests of the warring clans of Ewings and Barnes intrigues and provokes the imagination. Now that all the cards are open and the victory seems obvious, there is a suspicion that everything is not as simple as it seems at first.
The plot content is so rich and diverse that it is simply unrealistic to break away from viewing. 40 minutes is not enough to enjoy what you see. In this regard, there is hope that the creators will not stop at a small number of announced series, and the continuation will not take long to wait.
In developing and producing this project, the authors took some risks, but in the end they won by creating a high-level lookable product. And if this season as a whole is as interesting as the previous one, we will have a long and fascinating story about love and betrayal; kindness and self-interest; the pitfalls of business and the endless beauty of romance against the backdrop of the industrial landscapes of Texas.
