Rivals dives headfirst into the cut-throat world of independent television in 1986, where the shoulder pads are big and ambitions even bigger. In the fictional upper-class county of Rutshire, a long-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over: ex-Olympian, Member of Parliament, and notorious womaniser Rupert Campbell-Black, and his Rutshire neighbour Tony Baddingham, controller of the independent TV franchise Corinium Television. As tensions rise and rivalries deepen, there are spilled secrets, forged alliances, and snatched liaisons that draw wives, lovers, colleagues, friends, and families into their battle. |

Great fun,general ribaldry, intrigue and good acting set in the 80’s.It’s bonk fest as author Jilly Cooper calls it.
There is no release date for Rivals, with the only information so far regarding a release window slating the series for a 2024 release. I can wait it out and David Tennant and Adrian Turner, what a combo!
Thank you for reminding me. You the best!
Now
the list of “must watch” is getting longer and longer….. could this be a mix of Succession and that other show which i have completely forgotten the name of…. Wishi could binge this right now, but got 2 series in front for a binge and about 7 for the “weekly episode watch”…..Keep us updated guys if you watched it all or some of it.
Rivals is not at all like Succession. Rivals is trashy — it’s full of cliches, the characters are two-dimensional, and the plot is predictable and soap-opera-esque. It’s fun and I’m glad to be able to watch it, but I’m noting that it has none of the complexity of Succession, and unlike Succession it doesn’t require viewers to engage or think or ask questions.
Thanks for that reply… might be going off the list then…. i liked the story and complexiy of Succession and Billions and from reading abot this one it looked the sae… thanks for letting me know its not ;)
