TNT’s ‘Dallas’: Capitalist villains too dull to root against

Revival of hit prime-time soap is vapid, unimaginative

Where’s the drama in that? Where’s the suspense? If the wealthy are so uninteresting, then why care about their fate at all? And if wealth is its own punishment, then what is there for the audience to root for? Forget whether it’s fair to the rich: It’s unfair to ordinary viewers.

WHAT: “Dallas” series premiere

WHEN: June 13 at 9 p.m. on TNT
