SERIES PREMIERE: Don Johnson is 65 now, but still carries the effortless sex appeal that served him so well in the Eighties on Miami Vice. In this new series, a throwback to the days (and shows) of Dallas and Dynasty, Johnson plays the modern equivalent of a J.R. Ewing – someone who made his millions (and more) in the energy game. Scott Walker plays his ungrateful son, Amber Valletta plays his trophy wife, and the young-generation co-stars of the show, playing a young couple seeking their fortune in North Dakota, are Chace Crawford and Rebecca Rittenhouse. If you like this prime-time soap opera genre (and, based on Empire, many, many people still do), this is for you. For a full review, read Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
