Murdoch Dynasty
is an incredible
three-episode BBC series
that chronicles the rise, fall and return to the podium of
Rupert Murdoch
, the billionaire owner of one of the world's most important communication empires.
A
controversial mogul closely linked to power
who helped shore up several political careers, promoted presidents and was always close to scandal as can also be seen in
Succession
, the HBO series that is loosely based on his life and that of his family.
The first episode of Murdoch Dynasty quickly describes his purchase from a
major Australian and UK tabloid newspaper
, including
News of the World
(famous for being brought to justice by actors and celebrities, upon discovering that had their phones tapped) and
The Sun.
Then, the focus is on how his influence was
vital in the election of the prime minister
of Great Britain in the late 1990s, something that would be repeated a few years later on the American scene with the election of
Donald Trump.

Do not forget that one of the great milestones of Murdoch's career is the
invention of Fox News,
which in a short time became the third most watched network in the country.
The alliance between its media and political power is one of the axes of the series.
The second episode chronicles
the fall of News of the World
after the
phone hacking
scandal,
and the third episode recounts Murdoch's return to power with Trump.
But the question that is coming is who will take over the queens of the empire once the patriarch retires?
Director Jamie Roberts risks a few chances about what to
expect when Rupert is off the scene.
There is
also much material telenovela about
their marriages and other relationships with their 6 children
, much to the style
Dynasty '80
(how to
forget the wonderful Alexis Carrington and his archenemy Krystle), a family tree constantly expanding because the last scions of the 90-year-old mogul.
Beyond the meticulous presentation of the facts, which are in themselves (terribly) entertaining, the show features
interviews with different high-level players
and a flammable material if it weren't for Murdoch being armored by his own means and the powers of the day. .
