Product Description
Epitomising the glamour and decadence of 1980s Reagan-era America, Dynasty was essentially a prime-time soap opera, and was characterized by campy, melodramatic plotlines, as well as Joan Collins's magnetic performance as the conniving Alexis Colby. She is divorced from Blake Carrington (John Forsythe), a fabulously wealthy oil magnate who marries his secretary, Krystle Jennings (Linda Evans), at the show's inception; the jealous Alexis schemes to do everything she can to destroy their union. The rest of the cast includes Blake and Alexis's children--the promiscuous amnesiac Fallon and the sexually ambivalent Steven--as well as resident geologist Matthew Blaisdel and his psychotic wife, Claudia. Presented here is every highly-charged episode from the show's fifth series.

Everything becomes even more outrageous in Dynasty Season 5. The clothes, the campiness, and the outta-this-world Catherine Oxenberg as Amanda (who has much more than just a paternal affection for her step-dad Dex) all add up to a storyline so fantastic there's nowhere to go but down once the party is over and--trust me--Season 6 does exactly that. Before the show firmly jumps the shark in the first few seconds of the next season, however, we're treated to even more of Claudia's crazy behavior, Linda Evan's rather wooden acting but stunningly beautiful face and body, and the hotness that is Luke Fuller, who, beneath his innocent act seems to enjoy breaking up Steven and cuckoo Claudia. On that note, did none of the writers realize that when a man is attracted to both men and women, he's not gay but bi? It's that trademarked American unwillingness to face facts, though, that just adds to the non-reality-based fun. Don't let anyone ruin the excitement of the ultimate cliffhanger by telling you what happens once the next season starts. Beyond this fifth go-round, Dynasty would suffer through three scrappy series before returning to form in its final year with the addition of Stephanie Beacham as Sable--a cat with claws just as sharp as those of Alexis.

Dynasty - Season 5 [DVD]
This was without a doubt, the best season of Dynasty. Great guest stars,great script, etc. And who could forget that nail bitting cliffhanger. CBS/Paramount has done a wonderful job cleaning up and restoring these episodes, as the audio and video quality is great. Highly recommended 5 stars !!!!

This season of Dynasty was I think around the time it overtook Dallas in the overall season ratings. Also, it was the season before spin-off The Colbys started.
This season saw Diahann Carroll joining the main cast (after appearing at the end of last season), along with Catherine Oxenberg, Michael Praed, Ali McGraw and Rock Hudson. A character from the past returned towards the end of the season with a new face, and the season ended with the infamous Moldavian wedding cliffhanger.
I doubt the fifth season will be released on Region 2 in June, as nothing has been announced for the season on Region 1 yet (assuming it will be released in two volumes again on Region 1).
As there are more episodes in this season (29 in total), the total number of discs in this boxset will probably go up to eight. The 29 episodes should appear on the discs like this (bearing in mind this is just a theory):
Disc 1 -
1. Disappearance (Season Premiere)
2. The Mortgage
3. Fallon
4. The Rescue
Disc 2 -
5. The Trial
6. The Verdict
7. Amanda
8. The Secret
Disc 3 -
9. Domestic Intrigue
10. Krystina
11. Swept Away
12. That Holiday Spirit
Disc 4 -
13. The Avenger
14. The Will
15. The Treasure
16. Foreign Relations
Disc 5 -
17. Triangles
18. The Ball
19. Circumstantial Evidence
20. The Collapse
Disc 6 -
21. Life and Death
22. Parental Consent
23. Photo Finish
Disc 7 -
24. The Crash
25. Reconciliation
26. Sammy Jo
Disc 8 -
27. Kidnap
28. The Heiress
29. Royal Wedding (Season Finale/Cliffhanger).

Great 80s series
We were transported back to the large shoulder-padded and big hair 1980s and all the bitchiness of Dynasty. Real escapism!
