Rivals is one of the best UK TV series you will see over summer. If you missed it back in October, good news, this month the Disney+ was renewed for a second season. Yes you heard right, Disney+ now has the C word airing on it!
Based on 1988 Jilly Cooper novel of the same name, Rivals stars David Tennant, Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Victoria Smurfit, Alex Hassell, Nafessa Williams, Bella Maclean, Emily Atack and Danny Dyer.
So what's this UK series based on the TV landscape all about? Oh and yes it has loads of sex and the old penis!
In 1986, British nobleman, old money MP Rupert Campbell-Black and, coming from the bourgeoisie nouveau riche (though married into old money), Tony, Lord Baddingham, have a rivalry that seeps into the world of Baddingham's Corinium independent commercial television station, located in the (fictional) county of Rutshire, in the Cotswolds region of southwest England.
Lord Baddingham brings American producer Cameron Cook to help strengthen Corinium's programming, and hires dynamic Irish newsman Declan O'Hara, husband of actress Maud, away from the BBC.
I smashed this first season once I got into it. Alex Hassell as Rupert Campbell-Black is a hoot, whilst David Tennant plays an absolute ruthless boss, he is wicked to the core!
