Critics Consensus

Sumptuous, filthy and completely in on the joke, Rivals turns Jilly Cooper's bonkbuster into irresistible prestige comfort viewing — and its second season sharpens the knives without losing the fizz, with David Tennant's monstrous Baddingham still the villain to beat.

Celluloid Critics Consensus

What is Rivals about?

Rutshire, 1986: a chocolate-box English county where the battle for a regional television franchise is fought with champagne, adultery and open class warfare. Corinium boss Lord Tony Baddingham poaches combative chat-show host Declan O'Hara, igniting a feud that pulls in Tory MP and serial seducer Rupert Campbell-Black and ambitious American producer Cameron Cook — until Tony's enemies unite behind upstart broadcaster Venturer to burn his empire down.
