How this season is filed

Filed by Julian Hart · The Binge Brief

The thinking fan's prime-time soap — longer on character than Dynasty glitter, still fully addictive. Dallas's suburban cousin, fourteen seasons of cul-de-sac knives, and Donna Mills's Abby as elite television mischief. Proved soap could thrive without oil-baron scale. Quiet streets, loud secrets; it outlasted many louder soaps.
