Dallas - Season 3
The third season begins when Pamela wonders what prevents John Ross from taking a real step towards marriage. Meanwhile, Bobby and Sue Ellen are trying to use the governor to prevent John Ross from moving in the same direction that his father facilitates, and Christopher discovers new details that completely turn things around because of Heather's past. On the other hand, Cliff persuades Elena to seek justice that ends those unrest.

I loved that they opened with Bobby visiting the family grave site and that he still talks to Mama.

The young bloods played by Henderson, Metcalfe and Jordana Brewster (Elena Ramos) kept it interesting. But, ultimately the bother of keeping up with what was happening at such breakneck speed was more trouble than it was worth.

If things feel a little contrived, or a lot contrived, that's hardly a first for the show. They're also tangled and messy and dastardly with a real shot at becoming sordid. That's a good start.
